5. Set-up will ask you which components you want to install. If you are installing GFI FAXmaker on the Exchange 2000/2003 server machine, you will need to tick both the GFI FAXmaker Fax server component and the Exchange 2000/2003 SMTP connector component. If you are installing it on a separate machine, or are not using Exchange 2000/2003, just install the GFI FAXmaker Fax server component. (Afterwards re-run set-up on the Exchange server machine to install just the Exchange connector)
