Hello, I am trying to find a way to make Outlook 2010 (32bit) the default email client for Windows 7 (x64) automatically. This doesn't seem to be an easy thing to do. I have gone into the registry and set 'HKLM/SOFTWARE/Clients/Mai l' and set the Default value to 'Microsoft Outlook' but this did not help. I also set this registry key: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT mailto shell open command] @=' 'C: PROGRA~2 MICROS~ 1 Office1 4 OUTLOOK.EXE ' -c IPM.Note /m '%1 ' But, neither of these changes make Outlook my default program for Windows 7. This is as far as I have gotten in trying to figure out how to make Outlook 2010 (32bit) the default email program for Windows 7 (x64). I am not sure what to try next.

On machine A, both HKLM Software Clients Mail and HKLM Software Wow6432Node Clients Mail have an empty string as the default string value. On B, both those keys contain Microsoft Outlook as the default string value, which is clearly wrong.

The strange thing is that each time I try to call Outlook, I get a Windows message saying, 'Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client.*Microsoft Office Outlook'. The error I just quoted is from the registry HKLM/SOFTWARE/Clients/Mail /PreFirstR un. If you know how to set Outlook 2010 as the default automatically then please let me know.

Even if there is a script to do this then I would like to have that. The reason I need this is that I have a program that works with Outlook. When it needs to work with Outlook it calls it and it expects it to just open up.

If Outlook is not the default email program for Windows then the above error happens. If, perhaps, I can run another program or script during my program's install then that would be an acceptable solution. It would be nice to know what settings need to be set, but at this point I don't really care how to do it as long as it can be done automatically somehow so that a user does not have to do it themselves. Thanks, John.

The causes include: • You are using and 32-bit programs can't 'see' 64-bit programs. • Installing the application AFTER installing Office.

Using Outlook 64-bit with 32-bit Applications Using 64-bit Office is not recommended unless you need large (2GB) file support in Excel or Access. There is no benefit in using Office 64 bit for 'normal' users. Also, you cannot mix-and-match Office 'bitness' - you need to use all 64-bit or all 32-bit Office applications. See for Microsoft's recommendations.

If you are using Office 64 bit, check this registry key and create it if it does not exist.
