Installation Wizard

Starting the PrintShop Mail Connect installer

The PrintShop Mail Connect installer may be supplied as an ISO image or on a DVD:

  • If an ISO image, either burn the ISO onto a DVD or unzip the contents to a folder (keeping the folder structure)
  • If on a DVD, either insert the DVD and initiate the installation from there or copy the contents to a folder (keeping the folder structure)

Navigate to the PrintShop Mail_Connect_Setup_x64.exe or  and double-click on it. After a short while the Setup Wizard will appear as a guide through the installation steps.

PrintShop Mail Connect requires prior installation of Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 (please refer to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21 for more details).

Selecting the required components

After clicking the Next button, the component selection page appears, where the different components of PrintShop Mail Connect can be selected for installation. Currently, the following are available:

  • PrintShop Mail Connect Designer: The Designer module. It may be used as a standalone with no other installed modules, but it will not have certain capabilities such as automation and commingling.
  • Installation Path: This is the location where modules are to be installed.


The installer can also calculate how much disk space is required for installing the selected components as well as how much space is available:

  • Disk space required: Displays the amount of space required on the disk by the selected components.
  • Disk space available on drive: Displays the amount of space available for installation on the drive currently in the Installation Path.
  • Recalculate disk space: Click to re-check available disk space. This is useful if space has been made available for the installation while the installer was open.
  • Source repository location: Displays the path where the installation files are located. This can be a local drive, installation media, or a network path.

Selection Confirmation

The next page confirms the installation selections made. Click Next to start the installation itself.

End User License Agreement

The next page displays the End User License Agreement, which needs to be read and accepted before clicking Next.

Click Next to start the actual installation process. This process can take several minutes.

Completing the installation

This screen describes a summary of the components that have been installed.

  • Configure Update Check checkbox: This option is enabled by default. It causes the Product Update Manager to run after the installation is complete. This allows configuring PrintShop Mail Connect to regularly check for entitled updates.
    Note: this checkbox may not be available in the event that an issue was encountered during the installation.
  • Show Log... : If an issue was encountered during the installation, click this button to obtain details. This information can then be provided to Objectif Lune for troubleshooting.
  • When ready, click the Finish button to close the installation wizard, and initialize the Product Update Manager, if it was selected.

The Product Update Manager

If the Configure Update Check option has been selected, the following message will be displayed after clicking “Finish” in the setup:

Click “Yes” to install or open the Product Update Manager where the frequency with which the updates can be checked and a proxy server (if required) can be specified.
Note: if the Product Update Manager was already installed by another Objectif Lune application, it will be updated to the latest version and will retain the settings previously specified.

Select the desired options and then click OK to query the server and obtain a list of any updates that are available for your software.

  • Note that the Product Update Manager can also be called from the “Objectif Lune Update Client” option in the Start menu.
  • It can be uninstalled via Control Panel | Programs | Programs and Features.

Product Activation

After installation, it is necessary to activate the software. See Activating your license for more information.

Before activating the software, please wait 5 minutes for the database to initialize. If the software is activated and the services rebooted too quickly, the database can become corrupted and require a re-installation.
