Make sure Outlook is closed before performing this upgrade

If you have a recent version, there will be a Diditbetter Support Menu icon on the desktop.  Run that and select the Upgrade Add2outlook.  If you do not, Visit the DidItBetter Download Center, to retrieve the necessary upgrade. Together or in preparation for remote assistance support, download and install the released version from here for your convenience: http://support.diditbetter.com/downloads.aspx

To upgrade Add2Outlook

Close Outlook and install over the older edition

To do this, extract the downloaded zip file to your "zlibrary" or my downloads folder for Add2Outlook setups.
