GW 5.5.4 - Outlook 2002 - Windows XP

[John Nichol]

Yes, the GroupWise 5.54 Client will run on Windows XP and will coexist with
Outlook 2002. I hope this works for others as well as it has worked for me.

GroupWise 5.5.4 Client on Windows XP coexisting with Outlook 2002:

Install Outlook 2002

Uninstall GW client and WMS if you previously installed them
Install NT version of Windows Messaging System (TID 2955774)
Drop the Inbox icon now on the Desktop into the Recycle Bin
Install GroupWise 5.5.4 client

DON'T bother visiting the Control Panel (or at least don't change anything
there)

Start the GroupWise client
Cick through the Microsoft Exchange Server messages, if any
Open the GroupWise Address Book
From the File menu, choose Services
Click on the Delivery tab
Use the up/down buttons to make sure that Novell GroupWise Transport is at
the top of the Recipient Addresses list
Click on the Addressing tab
Change Keep Personal Addresses In to your GroupWise personal address book
Use the up/down buttons to make sure that Novell GroupWise Address Book is
at the top of the When Sending Mail list
Click on the Services tab
Highlight and remove all Microsoft Exchange items, if any
Close the GroupWise client

Restart your computer

Open the Control Panel
Double-click the Mail icon (If prompted, provide the Windows Office XP CD)
Click on Show Profiles - you should see Novell Default Settings and Outlook
profiles
Make sure that Prompt For A Profile To Be Used option is selected

If you want to use Microsoft Excel 2002 with GroupWise document management,
copy GWXL97.xla from the GroupWise program folder to the Microsoft
Office\Office10\XLStart folder

As much as you can avoid it, don't use the GroupWise client and the Outlook
client at the same time
