Make an E-mail System Receptive to Workgroup Messages

If some project workgroup members don’t have Microsoft Project on their computers, that’s OK. If everyone has a MAPI-compliant, 32-bit e-mail system, they can still send and receive workgroup messages. Running WGsetup.exe on their computers will let those workgroup members without Microsoft Project benefit from its messaging capabilities.

To make an e-mail system receptive to workgroup messages

  1. The workgroup manager copies WGsetup.exe from the Microsoft Project for Windows CD onto two disks.
    On disk 2, copy Prj98-2.cab. On disk 1, copy all the other files.
  2. The workgroup manager gives the two disks with WGsetup.exe to a workgroup member who doesn’t have Microsoft Project.
  3. Insert the first disk into the disk drive of the workgroup member’s computer.
  4. Click the Start button, and then click Run.
  5. In the Open box, type: a:\WGsetup.exe
  6. Click OK, and then follow the instructions.

Alternatively, the workgroup manager can copy WGsetup.exe from the Microsoft Project for Windows CD to a network directory or folder that workgroup members can access. The workgroup members can then install WGsetup.exe from the network.
