Installation Instructions
Prior to installation:
- You need to have Windows® Administrator rights in order to install ShareContacts for Microsoft® Outlook®.
- Please check that you are running Microsoft Outlook 2002 (SP-2), 2003, 2007, or 2010 as ShareContacts is incompatible with any Outlook version prior to 2002/XP (SP-2); check other System Requirements as well. You can update your Microsoft Outlook version here.
- POP3 email accounts are more preferable for the program to run, but you can use IMAP or Exchange types of accounts. In this case you will need to create a rule moving email with specific word in subject from IMAP/Exchange Inbox to Personal Folders Inbox.

If installation was interrupted or incomplete, the problem might be related to Microsoft Outlook integrity. Prior to reinstalling ShareContacts, please perform the following:
- Uninstall Product (Start-> Control Panel-> Add or Remove Programs).
- Use the Detect and Repair feature in Microsoft Outlook Help menu to make sure it is operating properly. You may need the original Microsoft Office® or Microsoft Outlook CD-Rom. If Detect and Repair was unsuccessful, please address the issue to Microsoft support team or IT Professionals. Installation of 4Team software will not be possible until Microsoft Outlook integrity is restored.
- Please keep in mind that the "Detect and Repair" feature is not related to our software and recommended to be performed each time you experience functional problems with Microsoft Outlook.
- Please refer to our FAQ & Troubleshooting section of the HELP documentation.
IT Professionals in order to restore Microsoft Outlook integrity:
- Use the "Detect and Repair" feature in your Microsoft Outlook (you may need the original Microsoft Office or Microsoft Outlook CD-Rom). If this feature is successfully fulfilled, you may proceed to the next step. If not, we recommend that you save your *.pst file and repeat the procedure, but this time with "Discard my..." checked. Use the SCANPST feature, which will check the integrity of your *.pst file. Find this file in your computer and remember the name. Close Microsoft Outlook.
- Find the SCANPST.EXE file on your hard disk. Launch the program by clicking on SCANPST.EXE
- In the dialogue box click "Browse..." and choose the path for your *.pst file. Click "Open". Then click "Start". If the program finds any problems, click "Repair". Click "Close". If the problems persist, address them to Microsoft support team.
Important: When you or your group members add new folder users, they have to select users with e-mail addresses that were registered as "My E-mail Address" on their PC's only. Ignoring this Rule will cause data and user duplication and reflect product, and Outlook performance.
