To install the COM add-in on a central VM or virtualized environment, we recommend using the per-machine installer, which you can download from the “More Options” button in Jira. If you do not want to have an automatic updater in place, you can also use this option.
| Info |

This installer requires administrative permissions to install, since it writes to %ProgramFiles% |

User Data
This version of the COM add-in stores the user data (e.g. login token, preferences) in
| Code Block |
|---|
%LocalAppData%\OutlookEmailForJira |
This is the same as the per-user installer. This makes upgrades to the add-in pretty easy, since no data needs to be kept in the %ProgamFiles% install folder.
Updates
To update the add-in to a new version, you’ll need to download the new version from Jira. Please make sure to use the correct one (per-machine). You can either uninstall the old version first or just run the new installer directly - it will take care of removing the old files. In any case, the user data (login, preferences) will be kept, so after a restart of Outlook, everything will continue to work as before!
