Connector claims that office is not x64 when it is

Post by douglasd1986 »

I am trying to install the zimbra connector for office but it will not install.
I get the error:

I have confirmed that my office, and outlook, is indeed x64

I have also confirmed this by looking at the registry entries for Outlook and Excel.

If I run the MSI using CMD in administrator mode it installs but then I have to run outlook in Administrator as well and my other office applications crash when trying to access certain files (such as macro enabled excel files, which I use a lot).

I have gone as far as to download the zimbra connector back to version 8.8.12.8.1763 and none of them want to install.

Other computers at my employer that have recently been setup have had no problems install the connector, and I cannot seem to figure out why my computer is a standout.

If anyone can help me that would be great.

Thanks
Douglas

Hi douglasd1986,
Could you please do a clean uninstallation and then reinstall the MS Office. And then try to install Zimbra Connector for Outlook?
For clean uninstallation you may take help of "Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant" from here
