EMail Archiver for FCpro – Version 4.4.4

Innovations Version 4.4.4:

  • Save settings in the registrySo far, all configuration settings have been stored in XML files. Now there is also the possibility to specify during the installation whether these are stored as before or in the registry of the computer (standard).

The setup writes certain general presets to the key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\MAY Computer\EmailArchiver

When MS-Outlook is started for the first time, these general settings are copied into the local user’s key and administered there for the logged-on user.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\May Computer\EMailArchiver

  • The configuration can also be set to “Read-only”so the user himself can not make any configuration changes and only use the predefined profiles.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\MAY Computer\EmailArchiver

Name: “read-only” value:”yes”

  • ToRegistry.exe – To facilitate the transition, there is the tool “ToRegistry.exe”. This allows existing XML configuration files to be read out and transferred to the registry.

  1. Transmits all settings from the Config folder specified in the SettingsFolderInfo.xml file to the registry
  2. Transmits a single selected configuration or login file (XML) into the registry – The type is automatically detected and written to the correct node.
  3. If the application is run as an administrator, you can select whether the configuration is transferred to “HKEY_CURRENT_USER” or “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE”. If “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE” is used, the key “use-registry” is also set to “yes”.

Email Archiver – main configuration file / setup – Command Line Options

To use a customized configuration file during installation, the Email Archiver uses a template XML config file that can be customized and distributed accordingly.

When the user starts the application for the first time so this file is taken as a template and used as the User Configuration. By default, this file is configSettings.XML under: C: \ Program Data \ Email Archiver \ Config. This path can be changed on a central network share.

If the current settings are specified as standard on all newly created user, then the function “Save as default configuration” is available.

EMail Archiver - Der Start Ordner für die Konfigurationseinstellungen kann festgelegt werden

To prevent that configuration settings are changed, there is the entry ReadOnlyConfig in the configSettings.XML file. If this is set to YES, then the configuration via the user interface cannot be changed.

In the configuration settings of the email archive from version 4.0.7 there is the possibility to specify the startup folder for the configuration settings individually. So the standard and individual user settings can also be stored centrally on a network share. If the path is changed, then all existing configuration files, the login profiles and the profiles PDFExport, copied into the newly selected folder.

The information where the path for the configuration files shows is stored locally in the path:

  • C:\ProgramData\EmailArchiver\SettingsFolderInfo.xml
  • z.b. <InfoRootSettingsFolder RootFolderPath=”\\freenas\wmay\EMailArchiver_Settings\” />

The setup of this path can be preset and transferred.

For the Email Archiver Setup are available the Command Line Parameters “RootFolder =” and “/ quiet”. “RootFolder =” specifies the startup folder of configuration settings and “/ quiet” enables “silent” installation without dialogues.

  • Example: “C:\Users\testuser\Desktop\EMail Archiver Enterprise.exe” rootfolder=”\\freenas\wmay\EMailArchiver_Settings” /quiet
