- LangLabEmailer updates automatically if an update is available when you start it.
- Your langlabemailer.exe.config should not be affected by an update. you can access and back up the previous version by restoring, the previous version from the context menu of the desktop shortcut:
. - You may need to reapply changes after an update (automatic on application run that need not, but may overwrite your local settings, but will keep a backup (look for ".pre" files in a subdirectory of the data directory (= directory with the langlabmailer.exe.config and without the many other (MANIFEST, DLL) files).
- Next: uninstalling. Or up Langlabemailer (table of contents)

- Press
+ R, type “Taskschd.msc”, press “OK”. -
On right menu, click “Create Task". To provide students with their assessments and possibly instructor feedback quicker, I run the LangLabEmailer repeatedly after end of business day. I show some settings that you can experiment with.
-
On tab: “general”, name your task:
-
-
Tab: Actions, button:new / window:new action, button:browse, desktop/LangLabEmailer , button:open
-
-
Next up: tab:“Trigger”, where you can set your schedule:
-
-
Finally, access additional (tab:)“Settings”:
-
-
Result:
-
I advise setting the scheduler to end a prior task if it is found still running.
- The above example is using an old ClickOnce distribution of the langlabEmailer– your installation executable will differ and look similar to this:
- Troubleshooting:
-
When a scheduled task fails, an entry gets written to the event log here: Press+ R, type “eventvwr.msc”, press “OK: Application and Services Logs /Microsoft /Windows /Task Scheduler /Operational:
-
-
Watch out for permission problems, tasks that have not been enabled, and disabled task histories (for troubleshooting).

Introducing the LangLabEmailer

- The LangLabEmailer helps integrating the digital audio lab (still widely operating based on files and network shares) into the departmental language teaching and learning process by automatically forwarding (audio, text) assessments and assignments collected in the digital audio lab to teachers and students via campus mail (using MS-Exchange automation).
- Easy on the Language Lab Manager who can "set up and forget": 1000s of assessment files will reach their originating students and teachers in near real time without you lifting a finger.
- To earn "extra credit", show your teachers how they can override the default LangLabEmailer behavior by adding “_noemailing” or “_nostudentemailing” to the folder name when saving their digital audio lab collections.
