Sametime from Microsoft Office.

Windows XP Service Pack 2 with MS Office 2003.
Uninstalling the Alpha Build

Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs
, on the
two Alpha entries "OfficeWCAddinSetup" and "OutlookSametimeAddInSetup"
z
Go to the
windows\system32
directory and run "
regsvr32 /u sthelper.dll
"
z
Delete
sthelper.dll
and the
stonlinemeeting.oft
file from the
windows\system32
directory.

After completing the above, the installation can be performed.
Installing Microsoft Office
Ensure that you have installed the Microsoft Office products that you want to integrate with Sametime.
The Sametime Toolbar and Web Conferencing functions are additions to Microsoft Outlook, while the
Microsoft Office Smart Tags are features used in Word, Excel or PowerPoint. Smart Tags are visible with
the products you have installed. Also, set up MS Outlook e-mail accounts with e-mail addresses that can
be resolved through Sametime.
Installing Sametime Integration with MS Office
The 7.5.1 installer is available and handles the installation of the Office Integration components.
1.
Copy the following three files from the installer distribution into your working directory:
sametime-connect-win-7.5.1.exe
sametime751_OI_setup.bat
vcredist_x86.exe
2.
Run the
sametime751_OI_setup.bat
batch file. This executes the
vcredist_x86.exe
package, which installs the Visual C++ runtime prerequisites, and then runs the main Sametime
installer with the command-line switches needed to enable the Office Integration features.
