Important — End of Life Notice: Salesforce for Outlook is in an end-of-life process. Customers are encouraged to migrate to Einstein Activity Capture or the Outlook Integration. This article applies to customers who are still using Salesforce for Outlook.
After installing Salesforce for Outlook on a Windows machine, you receive a pop-up window with the following error when attempting to launch the application:
"Unable to cast COM object of type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.ApplicationClass' to interface type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook._Application.' This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{00063001-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}' failed due to the following error: Library not registered. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8002801D (TYPE_E_LIBNOTREGISTERED))."
This error typically occurs when a user has multiple versions of Outlook installed, or when the Outlook installation left incorrect TypeLib version references in the Windows registry.
This issue is caused by the TypeLib version reference created by the Outlook installation pointing to an incorrect value in the Windows registry. Follow the steps below to check and correct the registry entries, then reinstall Salesforce for Outlook.
Before editing the registry, identify your installed Outlook version and its corresponding TypeLib version number:
| Outlook Version | TypeLib Version |
| Outlook 2007 | 9.3 |
| Outlook 2010 | 9.4 |
| Outlook 2013 | 9.5 |
| Outlook 2016 | 9.6 |
| Outlook 2019 | 9.7 |
