Legacy Upgrade of Add2Exchange V3 or Prior

If you are using Winzip or another Zip file tool, you can extract the MSI file to any directory first if you can't run the MSI directly from the Zip file.

Note

Add2Exchange installs its own SQL Server 2005 Express instance. The SQL Server executables can only be installed on the C: drive.

6.	Verify that the drive on which you are installing Add2Exchange meets the minimum free space requirement outlined in the section System Requirements and Dependencies. If necessary, change the folder specification.

7.	Click Next >.

Confirmation Dialog

8.	Click Next >.

Service Login Password Prompt

Note

If the installation process appears stuck, sometimes the Password Prompt dialog has appeared behind one of the other windows. Move the other windows to see if this has happened.

Tip

Both the Add2Exchange Service as well as the SQL Server (A2ESQLSERVER) Service use the Service Account logon. If you change the password on this account, be sure to change the logon credentials for both services as detailed in the section Changing the Service Account Password.

9.	Enter the Service Account password twice and click OK.

Exchange Server Selection Dialog

Note

If your Exchange Server does not appear in the list, you can type its NetBIOS name in the text box at the bottom of the dialog instead.

10.	Select your Exchange Server and click Accept.

•	Confirm you have selected or entered the correct NetBIOS Server name for your Exchange Server and click Yes.

•	Confirm the Service Account name by clicking OK.

Important: If the Service Account name is administrator, you are installing under the wrong account and Add2Exchange will prevent the install from going further. You must install Add2Exchange under a separate Service Account.

•	When the installation has completed, click Close to exit.

This completes the first stage of the installation. Double-click the desktop Console icon:

SQL Server Express Component Update Dialog

•	The SQL Server Express installation begins.

Note: If this is an upgrade from a previous 12.6 installation, the SQL Server Express installation will be skipped. Continue with the instructions at the beginning of the next stage.

SQL Server Express Installation Progress Dialog

•

You will see the installation of the various SQL Server Express components progress. This may take several minutes. Please watch this phase because occasionally the install will require a reboot and the screen continues without prompting. It is on this screen that you should monitor progress closely.

SQL Server Express Installation Completion Dialog

•	When SQL Server Express has completed installation, you will see the completion dialog. Click OK.

•	If you are installing Add2Exchange for the first time, the Console will open and you can begin configuring relationships. Continue to the Add2Exchange Administration Guide.

•	If you are upgrading an existing Add2Exchange installation and your existing Add2Exchange data must be migrated to the new Add2Exchange database, Continue with the section The Upgrade Process.

Congratulations! Add2Exchange has successfully been installed!
