Microsoft Outlook is not set as the default mail client?


Today I install CRM Outlook on my Vista(with Outlook 2007), it gives me a strange error:"Microsoft Outlook is not set as the default mail client. Please set Microsoft Outlook as the default mail client from Control Panel\Internet Options\Programs, and then re-run the check."

I'm sure the Outlook is my default mail client, just in case I reset it again. but the error still exist! I'm aware of CRM always query Registry to get information in such cases, so open the default application key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail, the Default value is Windows Live Mail, so change it to Microsoft Outlook, the error gone!

To change the default mail client in Microsoft Internet Explorer, follow these steps, as appropriate for the version of Microsoft Internet Explorer that you are running.

Hi, found I had this problem after adding desktop experience on Server 2008. Thanks for the solution!

I had the same problem in my Vista Business, but your solution did not work. It turned out that in my registry at the key that you provided, there should be a subgroup for the program you specify as default Mail program. I had no 'Microsoft Outlook' subgroup, even though it was installed.

The solution in my case was to go to Control Panel / Default Programs and click on "Set program access and computer defaults". It will ask for administrator clearance. There, in the custom group, choose 'Microsoft Office Outlook' as default email program and click OK. Now the CRM wizard will pass the check.

If you have problems with Outlook files,then advise try-outlook cannot view e-mails,application is free as far as I know,it can help to extract all files with *.eml, *.vcf and *.txt extensions from *.ost file, when you cannot access your mail account, stored on Microsoft Exchange Server,will quickly scan all hard drives and find it. If current user has only one profile and its data is stored in a *.pst file, the path will be automatically displayed in the dialog box,can convert the data to a file with *.pst extension, that can be opened with any mail client, when cannot view Outlook emails.

For solve problems with outlook files I often use-reading ost files,because this tool helped me not once and it has free status as far as I remember.Besides that software can read ost files without Outlook and save all your emails, contacts, tasks and calendars.
