In case you want to install Outlook Integration for JIRAJira

• on terminal servers,
• on computers with multiple users or
• according to your own software deployment strategy,

 you  You might want to install the plugin add-in only once and handle the load behavior of the add-on in for each user on your own. To do so, do the following:

1. Uninstall all previous versions of the add-on in if you are upgrading.

   (Uninstalling first is the safe path. Usually just installing/upgrading works as well, older files will be overwritten. Just in case of any errors, always uninstall and then reinstall the plugin.)

2. Download and extract Outlook.Integration.for.JIRA_Mass.Deploy_v.{version}.zip
3. Run setup.exe (not the MSI file) as administrator to install the plugin on the terminal server.
   The setup will install and register the add-on in for all users of the server. By default the plugin the add-in installs to %ProgramFiles(x86)%. On this stage the plugin the add-in will only be registered on the server (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE), but not loaded into a user's Outlook.
4. There are two options to load the plugin add-in for users:
   1. Use the outlook_jira_current_user.reg file from the setup directory to install the plugin the add-in to your end-users. To add the contents of the file to the registry of the pluginadd-in's users (HKEY_CURRENT_USER), you can
      
      1. use the Group Policy Registry Preference or
      2. use a logon script
   2.  Use outlook_jira_local_maschine_office32bit_win32bit_and_office64bit_win64bit.reg or outlook_jira_local_maschine_office32bit_win64bit.reg. To add the contents of the file to the registry of the pluginadd-in's machine (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE).
      The plugin add-in needs to be registered only once and will be loaded for all users.  
      Please make sure to use the proper *.reg-file due to different bitnesses (32bit/64bit) of Outlook and Windows.

 In case you want to deploy the .msi file, make sure the .NET framework has been deployed as well, because the .msi installer does not download any depended packages.
