No Internet Browser Mail Integration

If I perform a GW7 Installation on a clean XP Pro workstation, the
option to select Internet Browser Mail Integration is blank. Even
after Installing GroupWise and then trying to install GWMailto from the
addons directory does not help either. When clicking on a mailto link
I get the error "Could not perform this operation because the default
mail client is not properly installed".

I have seen this with many of my client workstations not just the clean
XP install.

It looks as though others are having the same or similiar issues. Has
anyone found a resolution besides running the gwmailto install from the
addons directory?

Thanks

Dennis Triplo

So if you choose Custom Setup, "Internet Browser Mail Integration" is not an option?

Hi

We had exactly the same issue upgrading from 6 to 7.sp1. Mailto did not
work, as well as using send to facility from excel etc.

To fix it, download the very latest client from novell (yes the 7.01 on
your cd is knackered!)

Uninstall groupwise 7 from the PC, uninstall Windows NT Messaging.

Then install WMS from the directory

gw701cm\client\wms\nt\us\wms.exe

then groupwise from here:-

gw701cm\client\setup.exe

Then select custom and all will work. I had a nightmare with this.

Cheers
Julian.

Corey,

This is exactly correct. There is an object or space where the option
should be, however there is no text describing the option. I have
downloaded the latest update from the Novell website. Again this is a
clean XP install.

Thanks

Dennis

I am having this exact same issue. I get Tip of the Day but nothing
else. I don't get the mail integration option in the tuner either if I
try going the msi route. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi please look at my other posts in this forum about this. In the
client/addon/gwmailto folder there are missing files due to failed
install/and users having rights to that folder. You will notice that the
gwmailto.exe file is not there, but is on the original client.

Ensure that if you need write rights to this folder, that you do not do
the installs.

Cheers
Julian.
