Installing Outlook 2003[ Team LiB ]Installing Outlook 2003Office 2003 requires Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 or higher or Windows XP or lateroperating system. Although Outlook will install on an older computer with a CPU of atleast a Pentium 133 and as little as 64MB of RAM, it will be very slow.Youll have a much better experience if you install Outlook on a computer with a PentiumIII 400 or greater CPU and at least 256MB of RAM. (Adding more memory is usuallycheaper than getting a new computer, although not nearly as fun. Memory is also easyenough to install that you can do it yourself.)Youll need at least 245MB of free hard disk space on your computer, with at least115MB free on the same disk that Windows is installed on. Before installing Office 2003, create a system restore point in Windows XP.After accepting the licensing agreement in the Installation Wizard dialog, you have threechoices: • Complete Install— All features are installed for each application. This is the best choice if you are installing Office or Outlook on a laptop and travel a lot. All features are installed and you dont need the CD to install them later. This choice is the most convenient, if you have plenty of free space on your hard drive. • Minimal Install— Only the basic features are installed. Many features are installed on first run and you might need the CD to install the features you need. Choose this option if you dont have a lot of free hard drive space. • Custom Install— Choose the features you want to install (see Figure A.1). Figure A.1. Use the Custom Install option so that you can choose the applications and features you want to install. The options installed with a minimal install are selected when you choose Custom. To show you the options you can choose from, were going to choose Custom Install.The next screen lists the Office applications and includes a check box for ChooseAdvanced Customization of Applications (see Figure A.2). Add a check to this option tosee the installation options for a minimal installation and to add options. Uncheck anyapplications you dont want installed and choose Next. Figure A.2. Click on the features you want to install to access the installation options. Your options are Run from My Computer, Run All from My Computer, Installed on First Use, and Not Available.When you arent sure what a feature does, select it and look in the Description field(shown in Figure A.2), where youll see a short description of each feature.The wizard displays the list of applications from which you can choose.The icons indicate what the installation settings are. • White drive icon— The feature (or features included on submenus) will be installed. • Gray drive icon— Some features listed on the submenus will be installed, but not all. • Yellow number 1— The item will be installed the first time you need the feature (Run on First Use). • Red X— This item or group of items is not going to be installed and will not be available.Install all options available for Outlook by clicking on the Microsoft Outlook forWindows item and choose Run All from My Computer. The dialog shows you how muchspace the selected options require; installing all of Outlooks options requires a grandtotal of 4MB additional disk space. However, the default selections are suitable for mostusers, with the exception that you may want to install Collaboration Data Objects (CDO)or set it to First Run; by default, its unavailable.CDO is used by many third-party applications to access information in your mailbox.When its set to first run, Outlook warns you when an application needs CDO and youhave to provide the installation CD at that time.Browse the Office Shared Features and Office Tools sections and choose the features youneed. Installing all the Office shared features requires nearly 200MB of disk space, andinstalling all the Office Tools requires about 30MB.Choose Next after selecting all the options you want to install. Choose Install from thereview dialog when youre ready to begin installing Office or choose Back if you want tomake changes to your installation.Sit back and have a cup of tea while you wait for the installation to complete. It can take30 minutes or more to complete the installation if you have an older, slow computer.After Office is installed, the final screen offers to check for updates online and removecached installation files. If you have Internet connectivity, you should enable the Checkthe Web for Updates and Additional Downloads check box to check the Office updatesite for updates. Check for updates at any time by choosing Help, Check for updates while using any Office program.If you have plenty of free space on your hard drive, you should leave the cachedinstallation files installed. These files are used when you need to install a Use on FirstRun feature or when you need to repair the installation. The cached installation files arestored in the MSOCache folder on your hard drive. If you have more than one drive,these files are placed on the drive with the most free space.Choose Finish to close the wizard and begin using Outlook.You dont have to reboot after completing the installation, but its good practice to rebootat your earliest convenience.Thats all there is to it.
