SUMMARY
This article describes the components of Microsoft Outlook 98 that are installed during a Standard setup and what additional components you can add after setup.



MORE INFORMATION
The Standard Installation for Outlook 98 is the same as the Minimal Installation, with the exception that the Standard Installation includes Microsoft Outlook Help.

Setup does not have separate pages for installing Windows 95 versus Windows NT components. Setup detects your operating system when you select a component, and then downloads and installs either the Windows 95 or Windows NT version of that component as appropriate.

NOTE: Two items in the Mail Components section are mutually exclusive. You cannot select both Internet Only E-mail Service and Corporate Or Workgroup E-mail Service; you must select only one or the other. If you have installed the wrong version of Outlook, use Add Components to switch into the correct messaging support.

Components Installed During Standard Installation

 * Microsoft Outlook 98 Internet Only E-mail Service (IMO)

-or-


 * Microsoft Outlook 98 Corporate or Workgroup E-mail Service (CW)


 * Help files for Microsoft Outlook 98


 * Microsoft Outlook News Reader. The Microsoft Outlook News Reader is a news-only mode of Outlook Express. It is installed as a separate news reader and allows you to read and post news articles with the same functionality and speed that Outlook Express provides.

Components Available with Add/Remove
