So I have been doing battle with my Outlook 2010 for quite some time now and I really don't have an answer for this one.
No matter how careful I am in installing the Hotmail Connector for Outlook 2010, it continues to ask me to install it before I can add a Hotmail account. If anyone has a solution to this problem please give me some insight on what I can try.
Some things I have tried:
-Downloaded Connector from different places or via different links
-Tried install with Outlook open and shut
-Tried install with many different points of restarting computer
Some quirks:
-At one point in time I had Hotmail linked to my Outlook and despite always being asked to install the Connector, it worked just fine. I could send and receive emails just fine.
-Now I deleted the account and can no longer even add the account without getting redirected to install the Connector which is already installed.
My specs are in my sig and I am using 64-bit software. Again any help will be much appreciated. I am about ready to quit and switch to thunderbird since that is what I use on my laptop running linux and it has never had any problems!
Edit: My latest hunch (unproven so far) is that it could have something to do with the fact that I do not have my Office Suite installed on the C: drive but a different partition, and the Connector does not let you change the installation folder during the install.
