Redistributed Microsoft(r) ATL, CRT and MFC v7.0 Update ======================================================= Installation ============ If you want to determine whether your system definitely needs the update, read the Update Details section below. Note: the update cannot harm your system as it will automatically detect whether it needs to install itself or not. 1. Download the "MSRedist7.zip" Zip archive file from one of the locations provided and save it in an EMPTY folder on a hard disk that is local to the POP3 Server machine. 2. Extract the files from the Zip archive to the same folder. 3. Run "MSRedistSetup.exe" from the same folder location and follow the on- screen instructions. ============ Update Details ============== The following versions of DAWKCo POP3 Server (or later) depend on the v7.0 (or later) updated redistributable Microsoft(r) runtime libraries and will not function without them: Hosting Version 6.0 with WebMAIL Extension for Windows 2000/XP Hosting Version 5.5 for Windows 2000/XP Hosting Version 4.5 for NT 4 Small Business Version 4.5 for Windows 2000/XP Small Business Version 3.5 for NT 4 The updated Windows(r) system libraries do not come with Windows 2000, and although subsequent Windows 2000 Service Packs may update them, they are not installed/updated by Windows 2000 Service Packs unless they already exist on your system. They are provided to software vendors by Microsoft for redistribution with their applications. However, they may already exist on your system if you have some other software that has installed them, such as C++ .NET applications. Do not install the above DAWKCo POP3 Server versions (or later) UNTIL AFTER you have either installed the Windows(r) libraries update referenced above, or you have verified that the files listed below exist in the following directory on the mail server machine: %SystemRoot%\System32 File Version ----------------------- atl70.dll 7.0.9466.0 mfc70.dll 7.0.9466.0 mfc70u.dll 7.0.9466.0 msvci70.dll 7.0.9466.0 msvcp70.dll 7.0.9466.0 msvcr70.dll 7.0.9466.0 If the files above are not found in your %SystemRoot%\System32 directory, or you have earlier versions installed, you must download and install the system libraries update from one of the locations provided prior to installing the DAWKCo POP3 Server versions (or later) listed above. The system libraries update is packaged as a Windows Installer which provides safe Versioning Control, Rollback and Repair capabilities. If, after installing the update, you ever need to repair/reinstall or uninstall the system libraries update, use the "Redistributed Microsoft(r) ATL, CRT and MFC v7.0 Update" entry in the Add/Remove Programs applet in Control Panel. However, as long as you are running one of the newer DAWKCo POP3 Server versions (or later) listed, you MUST NOT Uninstall the system libraries update! The system libraries required by previous versions of DAWKCo POP3 Server are included in Windows 2000/XP. If for some reason you must revert to an earlier version of DAWKCo POP3 Server after installing one of the newer versions (or later) listed--NOT recommended!--you can stop the DAWKCo services and the WWW service, delete the following folders and then reinstall with the older version of POP3 Server: %SystemRoot%\POP3Srv x:\Inetpub\webmail\isapi where %SystemRoot% is typically x:\WINNT and x: is the system drive--typically C:. Reverting using this procedure will leave your existing POP3 configuration intact. ==============
