possible installation problems:

1. Installation can't copy a file
   Generally it's impossible to copy "system files" (e.g. cabook32.dll) because older version of these files, which we are going to overwrite, are in use. To correct this problem you should close MS Exchange (Outlook) program or if it doesn't help, restart computer.
2. Setup was unable to register extensions in windows registry
   Try to register keys manually. Go to your CaBook directory where in program subdirectory you find cabook32.reg file. Double click on it in file manager to register keys defined in it.

2.2. Uninstallation

Click the Add/Remove Programs Properties in Control Panel. In the Install/Uninstall dialog box, click the item "CaBook 1.02" and then click the Add/Remove button to remove it (picture 2-3).
