Picture 2-2: CaSaveMsg installation program
possible installation problems:
Installation can't copy a file
Generally it's impossible to copy "system files" (e.g. casmsg32.dll) because
older version of these files, which we are going to overwrite, are in use. To correct this
problem you should close MS Exchange (Outlook) program or if it doesn't help, restart
computer.
Setup was unable to register extensions in
windows registry
Try to register keys manually. Go to your CaSaveMsg
directory where in program subdirectory you find casmsg32.reg file. Double click on it in
file manager to register keys defined in it.
- Uninstallation
Click the Add/Remove Programs Properties in Control Panel. In
the Install/Uninstall dialog box, click the item "CaSaveMsg 1.1" and then click
the Add/Remove button to remove it (picture 2-3).
