Suite Manager Installation Instructions

  1. Uninstall the current instance of Suite Manager.
  2. Extract the files from the Suite Manager.zip file.
  3. Start the installation program for Suite Manager located in the directory in which the Suite Manager.EXE file was extracted.
  4. Click Next on the Welcome screen.
  5. On the License Key screen, type the license key in the text box and click Next.
  6. On the Choose Destination Location screen, confirm that the Destination Folder is the desired directory location for the program files.
  7. On the Start Installation screen, click Next to begin the installation process.
  8. A progress screen will display. You can abort the installation at any time by clicking Cancel.
  9. On the Installation Complete screen, click Finish.

Mitratech Office Link Installation Instructions

  1. Uninstall the existing add-ins using the “Add and Remove” feature in the Microsoft Windows Control Panel or by double-clicking the original installation files and selecting the Remove Mitratech Office Link Add-in option.
  2. Extract the contents of MitratechOutlookAddInSetup.zip.
  3. Click the setup.exe file to run the installer and follow the instructions on the installation wizard.
  4. When prompted, enter the appropriate information:
    • In the Login URL field, type the login URL for your instance of Suite. Include http:// at the beginning or the URL and a trailing slash (/) at the end of the URL.
      • If left empty, the Login URL field will be populated from the default information in OfficeSetting.ini when the add-in is installed. The user will be prompted for the correct URL when Microsoft Outlook or Office application is opened.
      • For situations in which eCounsel and Secretariat are installed but the user only has access to Secretariat and not to eCounsel, the URL must include -2 at the end of the URL before the trailing slash (/). For example:
        https://suite.companydomain.com:7002...1/~database-2/
    • In the Login URL Editable field, type TRUE or FALSE:
      • TRUE enables the user to change the login URL after the add-in is installed.
      • FALSE ensures that the user cannot edit the login URL and is only applicable if a login URL is designated.
      • If left empty, this field defaults to TRUE.
  5. To make an add-in available for other accounts on the same machine, run the installer for each user account and select the Repair option. The Repair installation must be run for each add-in. If the OfficeSettings.ini from the default directory path contains a valid login URL, the add-ins will be available without any error. If it does not have the login URL information, ignore the exceptions until the system requests the credentials and saves the valid login URL in OfficeSettings.ini from User directory path.
  6. Repeat these steps for the MitratechOfficeAddInSetup.zip.
  7. Repeat these steps on each machine that uses Mitratech Office Link.

For more information, see the installation instructions in the Mitratech Office Link Administrator’s Guide or Mitratech Office Link User’s Guide.
