Install Outlook DESK

Note
Close MS Outlook before reinstalling. The installation of the Office Add-In cannot be completed if MS Outlook is open, and the installation will pause until the issue is resolved.

Windows User Account Control must not be disabled!

Note
Some versions of Windows prevent the installation of Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8.

The .NET Framework 4.8 can be enabled as a feature through Programs and Features in the Control Panel.

You may need the operating system installation files for this.

Outlook DESK

Outlook DESK is an add-in for MS Outlook. The web version of Microsoft 365 Outlook is not supported.

If .NET Framework 4.8 is not installed before reinstalling the STP.Updater Client, the computer will restart during the update after the .NET Framework is installed as a prerequisite.

The setup will abort if the operating system does not allow the installation of .NET Framework 4.8.

In this case, you must enable .NET Framework 4.8 as a feature of the operating system and then run the executable file STP LEXolution.DMS Outlook DESK Setup.exe again.

The installation of the Client App Service (LCAS) is a prerequisite for Outlook DESK.

You need about 1000 MB of free disk space to install Outlook DESK.

Run Setup

Windows User Account Control must not be disabled!

Note
Outlook DESK is precompiled to speed up the application startup. Ngen.exe is started in a command prompt for this purpose. The missing dependencies occur because the products are delivered with the DLLs needed for functionality. However, NGen goes through all dependencies and thus encounters referenced DLLs (or their dependencies) that are not used by DMS. This causes the "FileNotFoundException". Errors during precompilation do not lead to different behavior or errors in the program. It is not as fast on the first start or when opening dialogs as when used precompiled.
