Outlook Interop Exception

Question

Trying to automate Outlook as

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application myApp = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.ApplicationClass();    
Microsoft.Office         


        

Answer 1

I ran into the exact same error message you have, my problem was I had installed Office 2016 x64 while the app that was trying to call into it was compiled as x86. Switching to x86 Office 2016 solved the issue for me.
