Prerequisites to install Salesforce for Outlook

Publiceringsdatum: Apr 14, 2023
Beskrivning

In Order to install Salesforce for Outlook (SFO), there are three prerequisites that need to be installed first by your local administrator or IT team.
 

Important*
Do not install these if you have no administrative rights on your machine. If you are not sure, please refer to your internal Help Desk.

 

  • Microsoft .NET Framework 4.x Client & Extended version
  • Microsoft 2010 Primary Interop Assemblies, which are already packaged in our SFO .exe installer. Refer to Step 4 of the Article  #000193384. Install this if you have Outlook 2010. If you have Outlook 2013 or 2016 installed, you do not need to install the PIA.
  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable (Both bitness are installed on your machine x86 (32 bit) and x64 (64 bit))
  • Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Runtime

Sometimes these files are there, but corrupted or otherwise not working properly for the install. You would need to uninstall, restart and then reinstall them.
 
  • If you run SFO executable file, the .EXE, for the first time as a non-admin Windows user, the installation may fail. It is best to ask your Local Administrator or someone from your IT team to install them for you.
  • The prerequisites must be pushed out first using a System account before, SFO deployment
  • The installer must match your Outlook bitness. For Office 32-bit installation you would need to install 32-bit version of MSI, the x86 and if you use the .EXE it detects the bitness in the registry and installs the correct bitness
  • Registry key that would be checked is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook There is a bitness key with a value of either x86 or x64
 
Microsoft has retired support for Outlook 2007, so Salesforce is no longer able to support Outlook 2007 as well.

WARNING: THE STEPS BELOW REQUIRE UNINSTALL/REINSTALL ACCESS ON THE COMPUTER. IF YOU CAN NOT DO THIS YOURSELF, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SEND THIS TO YOUR INTERNAL IT TEAM!

 


UNINSTALL

In that case, be sure to uninstall Salesforce for Outlook, as well as the offending prerequisites. If you are not sure which one is the problem, it is OK to uninstall and reinstall all of them.

Please note, however, that these prerequisites are all part of Microsoft and there may be other programs (such as Outlook) that require they be installed. 

To uninstall these, simply open the Control Panel and uninstall them from the "Programs and Features" or in Windows XP, under "Add or Remove Programs." Again, make sure to also uninstall Salesforce for Outlook. 

** If you do not have local administrative rights, ask your IT team to perform these steps for you.
