Instructions for GW Client Download and Setup

Overview for Windows versions. Windows versions of the GroupWise software can be downloaded below as self-extracting ZIP archive files (Win32 compatible). Download the archive file into an empty folder on your workstation, then open the file to unpack the contents of the GroupWise client installation files. Finally the SETUP program needs to be run to install the client.
  1. On the desktop workstation, create an empty folder to accept the archive file you will download.
  2. Click on the appropriate link below to download the GroupWise client version of your choice. Direct your web browser to save the archive file into the folder you created in the step above.
  3. Navigate to that folder and open (double-click) the self-extracting archive file you downloaded. A dialog box will open on your desktop to unpack the archive. You will be prompted to close the dialog box when the unpacking process is finished.
  4. Now run the SETUP program contained in the WIN32 subfolder of the folder you originally created.
  5. After GroupWise client installation is complete, you may delete the folders containing the GroupWise installation files and the self-extracting archive file.

For more information on the Groupwise 6.5 client, please visit the User Information Page.
Training for JHMI users is also available.
