Installing Sametime 7.5.1 integration with Microsoft Office

This release note document outlines the steps involved to properly install IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5.1 with Microsoft Office, so you can collaborate, create meetings, and chat with co-workers through IBM Lotus Sametime from Microsoft Office.

Installation

Platform support

Windows XP Service Pack 2 with MS Office 2003.

Uninstalling the Alpha Build

Perform the following steps to remove the Alpha build.

zUse the Add/Remove Programs, Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs , on the two Alpha entries "OfficeWCAddinSetup" and "OutlookSametimeAddInSetup"

zGo to the windows\system32 directory and run "regsvr32 /u sthelper.dll"

zDelete sthelper.dll and the stonlinemeeting.oft file from the windows\system32 directory.

Note: Other dependency files -- = wmqtt.dll, and the multiple win32 dll dependencies -- can be left intact. 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.
