Installing the Outlook 2010 Plug-In Web Services

The Web Service only needs to be installed on the server once, whereas, the Plug-In files are installed on each of your client machines. To be installed, the web service requires about 29MB of space on the server.

 

The server you install the Personify Web Service on must be inside the firewall. The Package folder contains a ReadMe file (PersonifyOutlook2010WcfService.deploy-readme). Open this file in a text editor and review it before proceeding. The Web Services Package installs your web services application under the name “PersonifyOutlook2010WcfService”. If you would like to change the name of your application, open the PersonifyOutlook2010WcfService.SetParameters file in the package folder, search for “IIS Web Application Name,” and modify the Default Web Site value attribute.

To install the Web Service on the server:

1.    Ensure you have copied the PersonifyOutlook2010WcfServices.zip file from the Personify release package onto your server and extracted the files to your local machine.

2.    Make sure you have Administration privileges to the package folder on your local server.

3.    In a command prompt, go to the Package folder located on your server.

4.    Run the following command on the prompt:
PersonifyOutlook2010WcfService.deploy.cmd /t
Doing so will simulate the installation, but not actually deploy it.

Note.pngIf any error messages display, you must resolve the issues before proceeding with the actual installation.

5.    By default, various settings use the MSDeploy version 1 for deployment. If you receive the following error, check the MSDeploy version installed on the server.
“ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value. Msdeploy.exe is not found on this machine. Please install Web Deploy before execute the script.”
If you are using a later version of MSDeploy, such as version 2, then modify the "PersonifyOutlook2010WcfService.deploy.cmd" file with the appropriate version number or with the correct registry key entry.

6.    In a command prompt, go to the Package folder located on your server.

7.    Run the following command on the prompt (this command performs the REST Web Services installation):
PersonifyOutlook2010WcfService.deploy.cmd /y

8.    Refresh your IIS Websites list.
The PersonifyOutlook2010WcfService virtual folder, or whatever name you gave your website, appears on the Connections list.

9.    Copy the latest Personify API and log4net dlls to your web service’s bin folder.

10.  Modify the config.xml file.

11.  Modify the web.config settings.
