Lookout search plugin and Outlook 2007
If you have to use Outlook I believe you deserve better search features than the features available for you by default. Many of you know the great search plugin Lookout. However after migrating to Outlook 2007 I was unable to successfuly install and use it. Instead after restarting Outlook I got error message:
Sorry! It looks like another Outlook Plugin has installed an unofficial version of the Outlook libraries which breaks Lookout. Lookout will not be able to load. […].
But it looks like there is a way to install Lookout on Outlook 2007. After closing Outlook run from command line:
cd %SYSTEMROOT%\assembly\GAC rename Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OLD type nul > Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook rename Policy.11.0.Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook Policy.11.0.Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OLD
After restarting Outlook everything should work. Don’t blame me if it doesn’t. But in case it doesn’t you can revert changes executing following commands:
cd %SYSTEMROOT%\assembly\GAC rename Policy.11.0.Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OLD Policy.11.0.Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook del Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook rename Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OLD Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook
Hope it helps!
