Application.Outlook error in Powershell

Hi All,

I am getting an error when running this:

Code:

$var = New-Object -ComObject Application.Outlook

Error:

Code:

New-Object : Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} failed 
due to the following error: 80040154 Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG)).

    + CategoryInfo          : ResourceUnavailable: (:) [New-Object], COMException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NoCOMClassIdentified,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.NewObjectCommand

I am running Powershell 3.0, Office 2013 x64, on Win 8 x64.

I tried both combinations of running PS and Outlook as Local and Admin, but got error in both.

I am running an x64 environment for PS.

Do i need to have x86 Outlook for this? or Do i need to install any cmdlets for outlook access from PS??

Thanks in advance!

No scripting guys here??

It does look like missing DLL issue. Maybe the code works work only in x86 version of the OS?

Nice guess, I would have suggested to contact Microsoft.
