File->Options->Sync not displaying Outlook as option

Hello:

I have heard great things about this program and thought I would give it a try. I can connect to the phone correctly and am able to view all of the information on the phone in MyPhoneExplorer. However, I cannot seem to get a connection to Outlook. Outlook does not appear in the drop down list in File->Options->Sync, only "MyPhoneExplorer" and "Outlook Express" appear. I have Outlook 2007 installed on Vista Ultimate operating on a domain connected to Microsoft Small business server and Microsoft Exchange server. Can anybody help me understand why "Outlook" is not showing up in the sync drop down list.

I am willing to send whatever screen shots or info are needed to help debug the problem.

Thanks,
Doug

Inster your Outlook-CDRom and choose "Repair", after that MyPhoneExplorer will be able to detect Outlook.

If you dont have the Outlook CD

Hi!

I have the same problem, but I also have another problem: I have a corporate laptop, with nerfed rights etc, so I have no way to reinstall/repair Outlook.

Is there not another way or workaround to get MPE to discover/sync with Outlook? It seems strange that you would have to reinstall/repair.

It appears to me that this is a case of some missing/different registry data, or something similar.

With or without Outlook sync, MPE rocks! Thanks a million!

Yes, the problem is based on a not registred COM-Library. Its not depended on MyPhoneExplorer, MPE just have to use this COM-Library

THANK YOU

Borrow this thread.

:D I really love this program. I was so blur also that I did not know MPE can do sync w Outlook & MPE. I was manually entering entry into both. GOD! :oops:

MyPhoneExplorer checks if this Registryvalue exists: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Outlook.Application\CurVer

But Note - its not enought to create this value. Outlook must be correct registred, so can MyPhoneExplorer can also load its librarys.

I would like to use an Address Book application that has a synchronization with Outlook; my goal is to use MPE as a bridge to sync phone with Outlook. The tricky part is that I don't have Outlook installed, I only have the pst file containing the address book.

I wanted to know how I could...cheat MPE let it believe that Outlook is actually installed and I landed on this topic: which library MPE needs other than the registry value HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Outlook.Application\CurVer ? Is feasible what I'm trying to do ?

MPE does not touch he pst-File. MyPhoneExplorer syncs with the Outlook-Library
