OL98: Outlook Components Installed with Typical Setup

ID: Q183775

The information in this article applies to:

SUMMARY

This article describes the components of Microsoft Outlook 98 that are installed during a Standard setup and what additional components you can add after setup.


MORE INFORMATION

The Standard Installation for Outlook 98 is the same as the Minimal Installation, with the exception that the Standard Installation includes Microsoft Outlook Help.

Setup does not have separate pages for installing Windows 95 versus Windows NT components. Setup detects your operating system when you select a component, and then downloads and installs either the Windows 95 or Windows NT version of that component as appropriate.

NOTE: Two items in the Mail Components section are mutually exclusive. You cannot select both Internet Only E-mail Service and Corporate Or Workgroup E-mail Service; you must select only one or the other. If you have installed the wrong version of Outlook, use Add Components to switch into the correct messaging support.

Components Installed During Standard Installation

-or-

Components Available with Add/Remove

When viewing the Microsoft Outlook 98 Component Install page, all components are visible. You can tell what components are already installed by reading the Status column on the right side of the page.

From the Component Install Web page, you can select which components you want to install. The total download size and time (based on the average speed of a 28.8 Kbps modem or 4X CD-ROM) is noted at the bottom of the page.

You can also click the red arrows next to the component names in order to see descriptions of the individual components.

If you select a component for installation that has already been installed, the following dialog box appears: 

   <Component name> is already installed. Do you want to reinstall this
   component?
Click Yes if you want to reinstall the component.

The following table lists a description of each item on the Component Install page.
