Installation

The Enki Outlook Classic Add-in is a native Windows add-in for the classic Outlook desktop client, distributed as a standard Windows Installer package.

Prerequisites​

  • Windows with Outlook Classic (desktop) installed.
  • .NET Framework 4.8 or later. If it isn't already present, the installer downloads and installs it for you.
  • Administrator rights on the machine — the installer requires elevation to register the add-in.

Step 1: Run the Installer​

Run EnkiOutlookAddin.exe (the recommended bundled installer, which checks prerequisites and installs .NET Framework 4.8 if needed) or EnkiOutlookAddin.msi directly if .NET Framework 4.8 is already installed. Both require administrator privileges.

By default, the add-in is registered per-machine, so it's available to every user on that computer. Follow the setup wizard to accept the license agreement and complete installation.

For scripted or mass deployment (for example, through Microsoft Intune or Group Policy), both the bootstrapper and the MSI support the standard Windows Installer silent-install switches, such as /quiet or /passive.

Step 2: Add Your Configuration​

The add-in reads its settings from a config.json file in its installation folder (Program Files\Eventus\Enki Outlook Add-in by default). If no config.json is present, or it can't be parsed, the add-in falls back to its default behavior with spam reporting and send-time warnings turned off.

See Configure the Enki Outlook Classic Add-in for the full list of options — including your security mailbox, send-time warning rules, and internal/external domain lists.

Step 3: Restart Outlook​

Restart Outlook Classic to load the add-in. You should see the Enki reporting button on the ribbon, and — once promptSendToExternal is enabled in your configuration — a send-time prompt when composing mail to external recipients.
