Installation The Evaluation version of CMail Server is available from
the Internet at http://www.computalynx.net/software/cmail/download.asp.
CMail's installation files are stored in a .zip file format and require a file extractor
to unpack them. We recommend Winzip for this
purpose.
Installing from the Internet
- Download CMail Server from the Computalynx Website and
save the archive to a temporary directory.
- Open Windows Explorer and locate the downloaded
file.
- Double click on the archive filename to open it in
Winzip.
- Click Install from Winzip's toolbar to unpack the
installation files and launch the Setup Wizard.
Installing from CD-ROM
Following the registration of CMail Server, you will receive a copy on CD for
backup purposes. To install from CD:
- Place the Computalynx CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive
and close the tray.
- If your CD is set to Auto Run, the installation menu
will load automatically.

- Click Install.
If you do not have Auto Run enabled, open Windows
Explorer and run cdsetup.exe from the CD drive.
The Setup Wizard
Setup Wizard is the program that installs CMail Server to your computer, makes
the relevant taskbar shortcuts and creates the required registry entries.
