First off Windows users don't truly understand the mechanics of a
Mac. If they did they wouldn't tell you to reboot your computer a
thousand times. People this is a Mac it doesn't need to be rebooted
after every little thing you do.
I had home and Office 2008 Student edition (for Mac) installed on my
Mac. Then I needed exchange server. My company has a license
agreement with Intermedia.net to supply us with Entourage Standard
Edition. So I downloaded it and it didn't work. The rest of my
Office worked but not Entourage.
Why?
For Entourage to work it needs to have the update installed. But if
the update is already installed on the computer it won't be able to
work.
So how to you make it work?
FIrst open up you Applications folder and go here:
Microsoft Office 2008 - Additional Tools - Remove Office
Remove Office and DON'T REBOOT.
Then put in the Office CD and install Office again. At the end of the
install it will ask you if you want to search for updates. Don't do
that. Just quite out of the updates and now go to Intermedia.net and
download the Standard version of Entourage. Once the download of
Entourage is downloaded you can look for updates. Now run the update
and install it.
Once update is installed you can fire up Entourage and put in your
exchange server settings.
Works like a charm and guess what? I didn't even reboot. Gotta love
a Mac.
Good luck,
Darren
