Outlook 2010 continually runs the just in time installation.
Problem: After installation of Office 2010 (we also had various previous version of office 2003, 2007 etc visio, project,Visual Studio 2010, Sharepoint Designer 2010)
Outlook would continually try to run a ‘Just in time install’
Error Message 1: Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Office professional Plus 2010.
It would then ask to reboot – and on next launch of outlook – loop the same scenario.
Clicking No to the reboot message results in
Error Message 2: Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window.
Resolutions:
-
try to repair the installation
or
-
try to reset the navpane with “outlook.exe /resetnavpane”
or
-
Open outlook with “outlook.exe /safe” and delete or disable all Add-Ons and try again
-
Files > Options > Add-Ins > Manage Com Add-ins > Go > deselect all items
-
or under the registry paths of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftOfficeOutlookAddins AND HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftOfficeOutlookAddins
-
set all plugins LoadBehaviour(REG_DWORD) to 0
-
Enable each one individually to determine which add-on is preventing outlook opening.
or
-
add this registry key
reg add HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftOffice14.0WordOptions /v NoReReg /t REG_DWORD /d 1
or
-
secedit /configure /cfg %windir%infdefltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verbose
or
-
From server manager install the File Services role – coupled with the Windows Search Service
Summary:
The last option (install windows search service) was the only thing that fixed our server though there was a myriad of other articles where the first 1-4 resolutions listed above worked for everyone else.
