Update Encyro Outlook Addin to the Latest Version

See what’s new in this version.

Update to Version 2.5 (August 2024)

If your previously installed addin version is version 2.3 or higher (opens decrypted messages in a popup), then you need not uninstall the old addin. Simply download the new one from the link below and install.

Download OutlookAddInSetup.msi.

Open (double click) the downloaded file to run the installer. The installer will prompt you to close Outlook if running. Restart Outlook after the installer finishes.

After Outlook restarts, it may ask you to Install the recently installed addin to Outlook - click Install. This is an additional check that shows you if the addin publisher (Encyro) has been verified by Microsoft.

Check existing version: To check the version of the previously installed addin, in the Windows Search box (near the Windows Start button), type “Add or Remove Programs.” In the search results select the one that says Add or remove programs - Control panel. The popup will show the list of installed programs. Scroll down in the list to “Encyro Outlook Addin” and check the version number displayed.

If your installed addin is older than version 2.3, then you must uninstall the old addin before installing the new one. See steps below (the link in step 5 below will provide the latest version).

Update to Version 2.3 (October 2023)

This is the first version 2.x release. When upgrading from version 1.x (any version installed before Oct 5, 2023) to the a version 2.x release, you must manually uninstall the older addin. (Future updates to newer releases within version 2 will not require a manual uninstall.)

Steps:

1. Open the Windows Add or Remove Programs settings: In the Windows desktop search box (typically, near the Start button, in the lower left of the screen), type Add or remove and click Add or Remove Programs from the search results. In Windows 11, you may manually go to Settings and then Apps.

2. Scroll down in the alphabetically sorted app list to Encyro Secure Files and Messages and click it.

3. Click the Uninstall button that appears. Follow any Windows prompts to continue with the uninstall.

4. Close Outlook.

5. Download the new installer (for version 2.x) from the link below:

   Download OutlookAddInSetup.msi.

6. Open (double click) the downloaded file to run the installer. The installer will prompt you to close Outlook if running. Restart Outlook after the installer finishes.

7. If you receive a prompt to verify adding the Encyro addin when you start Outlook, select the Install button on the popup.
