Install Outlook On Windows 7

Posted on |

Feb 12, 2018  After practically two years of not uploading, here is a video on how to install Outlook Express on Windows Vista/7/8/10. The download links are below without stupid surveys.

I was able to install all of MS Office 2007 on my Windows 7 64-bit computer EXCEPT for Outlook, which I love. Any ideas on how to get it to install properly? I get error message when trying to run it

  1. Hello I have office 2007 running on a windows 7 64 bits computer. I just chose a custom install, uncheck whatever programs included I didn't want and everything works ok. You might want to try the following:

    -- start
    -- control panel
    -- click on uninstall a program
    -- find the microsoft office program
    -- highlight and right click on office program
    -- click on change
    -- on box that opens select add/remove features
    -- mark outlook
    -- follow instructions until it is finished installing
    -- if it asks you to restart, restart computer
    -- try opening outlook
    -- if it still doesn't work, record any error you get and give us feedback.

    If doing the above instructions don't work and you know that outlook is install, try following the same steps, just select repair when you highlight and right click on office program. Let us know what happens.

  2. Which error message do you have? you need to add or fix the email account. Seems like you allowed Outlook to set up the account on it's own.

Microsoft's Outlook Express is a discontinued product that was included with Internet Explorer 3 through 6. The last version, Outlook Express 6, shipped with Windows XP. A beta version of Outlook Express 7 was originally planned for Windows 7, but it was replaced by Windows Mail.

Outlook Express is not the same as Microsoft Outlook, another popular email service and software program from Microsoft.

Outlook Express for Windows XP

Outlook Express was a free email program that shipped with early versions of Windows. You can no longer download Outlook Express from Microsoft and it's no longer supported with regular bug and security patches.

However, it is still available for download from Softpedia. Please know, however, that it only works with Windows XP and because it hasn't been updated in a very long time, it likely suffers from many security issues. You're much better off moving away from Outlook Express as your email client and instead use Microsoft Outlook or another popular client.

Outlook Express for Windows 10, 8, 7, & Vista

Microsoft did not develop Outlook Express for Windows versions later than Windows XP and never intended it to be used in those versions of Windows.

In Windows 10 and Windows 8, the included mail client is called Mail. Windows 7 did not include a default mail client but Windows Live Mail was available via Windows Essentials. In Windows Vista, Windows Mail was the included client.

Outlook

If you really miss the Outlook Express experience, you can try these third-party substitutes but we highly recommend you move on to another, more modern client, as we mentioned above:

  • Outlook Express for Win 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 is available from Run As XP. If you use this program with Windows 10, each time an automatic update happens, OE is removed and must be reinstalled.
  • OE Classic is a program similar to Outlook Express and billed as a replacement for it. OE Classic is free and available for all Windows versions from Windows 2000 through Windows 10.

How to Set Outlook Express as Your Default Email Client

Windows

If you have an old copy of Outlook Express or are able to download it, you can still set it as the default Windows email program even though it has been discontinued.

How you go about this differs depending on the version of Windows you are running.

Windows 10 & 8

  1. Click the Start menu.
  2. Select Settings and type 'Default' into the search box.
  3. Select Default app settings.
  4. Click on email and select Outlook Express from the list of available email apps.

Again, not to belabor the point, but the very best course of action would be to abandon Outlook Express entirely and move on to an email client or web-based email that's being continually improved.
