Installing Jello Dashboard is a straightforward process. Although the whole process is semi-automatic, the installer and the setup utility somehow manage to do the job. I can tell this from the number of installation related questions from users which dropped to zero.
However, installing Jello for running two instances of it at the same time (using different settings) is not something easy to figure out.

The whole idea is that we need to have Jello installed in two separate folders and then setup each one as a homepage of two Outlook folders and define their settings journal entry name.

This is not so hard as it seems. In fact you could skip the setup as homepage into an Outlook folder step (3) if you plan to run Jello standalone.

So here’s how it’s done:

1. Install Jello twice in two different folders of your systems. Folder A and Folder B.

2. After each installation use the Jello Dashboard control center to fine tune your installation. If you wish to do this at a later time just navigate to each folder, find the install.hta file and run it.

3. From the Jello Dashboard control center, first click on the Set in Outlook button to choose the folder where Jello will reside.

4. Still in the Jello Dashboard control center, click the Settings location button to set up the settings journal entry. The only thing that needs to be done is to change the Settings folder location or/and the Settings Entry Name of the second installation. So you can leave the first installation using the default setting values and just change the Settings entry name for the second one (eg.<Jello.5 Settings 2>).

That’s all you need to do! After that, you will be able to maintain two separate Jello setups with their own settings.

You can also use the Settings location screen of the Jello Dashboard control center to fine tune your single installation. Reasons you want to do this: Your default Journal folder is on a server which wipes all journal entries every day or it’s on a really slow exchange server which freezes Jello.
