Incredimail Install and UpgradeTo install Incredimail Xe you can either do a single part manual install or a two part automatic install. In either case you need to go to the Incredimail website to download/installIncrediMail. On the Incredimail home page you should find a text link to the IncrediMail download page at the bottom of the page. Depending on how you access the IncrediMail download page you may find that you get a choice to copy the install files or that you automatically trigger an auto install. Generally button download links trigger the auto installer and text download links take you to the IncrediMail download install/upgrade page. If you place your mouse over the IncrediMail download button you will be able to view the link in Internet explorer. If this link name contains the word installer then the link will start the auto install. Incredimail Install - Auto InstallIf you click on any of the IncrediMail download button links on the IncrediMail website you will go to the IncrediMail download page and the auto installer will start. If you don't want to install now but would prefer to manually install then on the welcome screen click cancel and follow the manual install link. If you want to install then choose the language and then choose next. The second part of the auto install begins to copy the install files. At the end of the install there is an install complete window click finish and Incredimail will the go through configuration process. Cancel the IncrediMail InstallIf you cancel the install then an icon will be place on the desktop allowing you to proceed from that point at a later time. Not only is an icon placed on the desktop but the install program will run next time and in fact each time you restart windows until you install IncrediMail. If decide not to install IncrediMail then delete the continue later shortcut. You may find that this short cut reappears the next time you reboot but the install window doesn't open and to continue the install you need to click the shortcut. This should be enough to stop the continue setup screen appearing each time you reboot but if not or if you want to completely remove it then proceed as follows: If the above procedure doesn't work or you want to be more thorough then if you right click the shortcut icon and select properties then it will show you the install program click find target to go to the program directory( should be under windows\temp). You can then either delete the program or the directory. Finally for the more technical (Don't do this unless you are comfortable with the registry editor) you can remove the registry settings which cause the setup program to run on Windows 98 they are here: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
IncrediMail Install- ManualTo perform the manual install go to the IncrediMail Website and at the bottom of the page there is a text link to the IncrediMail download page. Follow the text link to download the complete installer files ( approx 6 Mbytes) to your local machine (see screenshot below). Once downloaded double click the .exe file and follow the instructions. At the end of the install there is an install complete window click finish and Incredimail will the go through the configuration process. Incredimail ConfigurationIf you have an existing Outlook express account(s) configured then you will be given an option to import these accounts into Incredimail or to manually configure them. If you intend that Incredimail will eventually replace Outlook Express then you should import the accounts and also the messages. The install copies the information from Outlook Express and leaves the original intact. However as is this case with all installs I would recommend that you backup Outlook Express beforehand -just in case. Because you have copied the settings and email from Outlook Express you can always go back to or indeed use Outlook Express at any time. To avoid confusion it is a good idea to only use one email client and not move back and forth between them as you may find email being split between two mailboxes.
