Error Message
Unable to Open MS Outlook : (Server execution failed, ProgID: “Outlook.Application”)
Severity
Low. User is able to continue working in the software.
Explanation of Error
User Account Control (UAC) is blocking the software from trying to use MS Outlook.
Resolution #1
- Run Outlook as an Administrator (You must shift-right-click on the shortcut and choose to Run As Administrator. Just running it as the administrator won't work.)
- Click on File | Options
- Choose Trust Center. This will open a new window.
- Choose Programmatic Access.
- Change the setting to “Never Warn me …” . If the options are disabled, then you aren't running it in Administrator mode.
- Save.
Resolution #2
- Go to Start \ Control Panel \ User Accounts and Family Safety\User Accounts
- Click on Change User Account Control (UAC) settings.
- Move the slider bar all the way to the bottom (Never notify).
- Click OK. You will be prompted to re-boot the PC and you will need to do so in order for the change to UAC to take effect.
- Run Cyrious as an administrator.
Resolution #3
- If these resolutions do not resolve the issue, re-installing MS Outlook is suggested.
