Installation

The installation of REDDOXX Desktop can be done manually or via software distribution.
In addition, the login parameters can be predefined by distributing previously created configuration files.

REDDOXX Desktop can be accessed via the following link: Downloads.

The following steps are necessary for the installation after the download:

  1. start the installation of the EXE or MSI file.
  2. click on continue and agree to the licence agreement
  3. by default REDDOXX Desktop will be installed in C:\Program Files\REDDOXX Desktop
  4. the installation will be carried out and completed automatically

The MSI files allow an unattended installation. For this purpose, various parameters can be transferred via msiexec.
The following examples serve as an illustration (the file names of the MSI files should be adapted according to the downloaded version).
It is important to note that administrative permissions are required for the installation.
Depending on the environment, it may therefore be necessary to use the EXE file from the Downloads section instead of the MSI.

Installation of an MSI file (where /i stands for install, /q for quiet)
msiexec /i "REDDOXX-Desktop-1.0.101.msi" /q

Uninstall of a MSI file:
msiexec /uninstall "REDDOXX-Desktop-1.0.101.msi" /q

The settings are stored in the settings.json in the folder "%appdata%\REDDOXX Desktop" and can be preset there accordingly.

As an example, here is the content of a configuration where the user only has to enter his password when starting REDDOXX Desktop:

{
    "exeFilename": "C:\\Program Files\\REDDOXX Desktop\\REDDOXX Desktop.exe",
    "autoStart": false,
    "hostname": "192.168.4.7",
    "realm": "SysInf",
    "username": "ske",
    "acceptAnyTlsCertificate": true,
    }, "language": "en"
}

Optionally, the settings.json also offers the possibility to configure the path for the Outlook.exe this is necessary for the option "open in Outlook"
This is only necessary if an error occurs when opening with Outlook, because the Outlook.exe is first searched in the registry and then in the default paths
The specifications for this would be as follows (the double backslash is important):
"outlookExecutableFile": "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\roots\\Office16\\outlook.exe"
