The version can be found by opening file details on the file (Right click Properties -> Details tab): 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\OUTLOOK.EXE'.<br />
The version information shown under Help within Outlook 2013 is '''not''' relevant.

The Outlook features that will be available after installation of the compatibility component are:

* Opening shared calendars from Outlook menu ribbon ('Open Calendar')
* Private items support (hides private items)
* Public contact folder support in Outlook Addressbook

Below is an overview of the functionality that is currently not available when using Outlook 2013 in combination with ZCP.

* Freebusy -> View calendar details
* Activities in Shared stores and Public Stores
* GAL pictures
* Using file -> Open -> Open other user's store is not possible, however you can open delegate stores using Zarafa's advanced configuration dialog, and you can open calendars using the ribbon ('Open Calendar') when viewing your calendar.

== AppInit_DLLs ==

In very rare cases it can be that the '''zcompat.dll''' is not properly added to the '''AppInit_DLLs''' property within the registry.

This could result in shared calendars not properly being displayed.

In the registry:

For Windows 64bit, navigate to:<br />
'''HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows'''<br />
Change AppInit_DLLs to include C:\PROGRA~2\Zarafa\ZARAFA~1\zcompat.dll<br />

For Windows 32bit, navigate to: <br />
'''HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows'''<br />
Change AppInit_DLLs to include C:\PROGRA~1\Zarafa\ZARAFA~1\zcompat.dll<br />
<br />
In both cases, if you have multiple AppInit_DLLs you can separate them by using a space between them.<br />
E.g. "somedll.dll C:\PROGRA~1\Zarafa\ZARAFA~1\zcompat.dll".

<b>Since 7.1.10-44973 we do not use this method anymore.</b>

== SySWOW64 ==
In some cases it helped to '''move''' zcompat.dll into the SySWOW64 folder on 64bit systems.
