The OLfolders installation must be executed at the server and at all clients. You probably want to store the download on a network drive. At the server computer, start OLfoldersServer from the start menu. At each client you find a new menu item in Outlook, which allows you to connect to the server: Tools/OLfolders/Connect to server.

On Windows Vista, Windows 7 or similar, you must install as Administrator (right click the installer and select "run as administrator") otherwise the add-in will not appear in Outlook.
To download OLfolders to your computer, simply click the download link OLfoldersServer and Client above and save the installation file to your computer. Be sure to remember where you saved the file (your folder for Program Files might be a good place).
Once the file has downloaded completely, please open the folder containing the file you downloaded. Double-click the installation file you just downloaded to start installing OLfolders on your computer.
In the user manual (see below) you will find additional information to the first steps in OLfolders.
