Installation

WARNING

Before installing the extension, you'll need to install the following dependencies:

• Microsoft VSTO tools;
• Microsoft .NET framework (installed by default on Windows 10).

TLS 1.2 activation

For security reasons, Seald only allows the Outlook plugin to be downloaded through an encrypted connection using TLS 1.2. Windows 7 uses an older version of TLS by default and this can cause errors.

To fix this and activate TLS 1.2, please follow Microsoft's instructions.

Installation of the pre-requisites

To install the pre-requisites, you need to download the Microsoft VSTO tools and Microsoft .NET framework. Once downloaded, you can either install them with the graphical interface and follow the instructions, or programmatically by executing the following commands:

WARNING
