New Outlook for Windows *Preview Release* does not currently provide third-party interoperability: OGCS won't work

Checklist:-

• Upgrade to the latest release (alpha if available)
• Reproduce the issue
• Complete the information below
• Provide your OGcalsync.log file (see how-to)

OGCS Version: v1.2.3.4
Edition: Installed / Portable
Sync Direction: G->O / O->G / O<->G

Bug Description
When I try to use OGCS with the new version of outlook (in preview mode) it doesnt’ work. It just hangs when I run it. It appears to be launched regular outlook (I see a small notification in my tray that a service is using outlook). It’s similar behavior to when I try to launch OGCS before I open outlook (that has never worked for me, I always have to have outlook open first).

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

1. Make your outlook preview the new outlook
2. Try to use OGCS and it wont’ work.

Any other information

As I said it’s the same behavior I get when I try to launch OGSC without having outlook open, it tries to launch outlook for me, but never really works. So perhaps that is the issue? However, I get 2 outlook icons in my tray now - one with the new outlook and then the old outlook as well. So I think perhaps the new outlook isn’t supported yet?

thanks!

Any additional information that may help troubleshoot the issue.

oh … I see. Thank you for the explanation! Good to know. Literally means I will never use the new office.

That makes total sense. Thanks for your response!

@abhasin505 https://github.com/abhasin505 Unless you have knowledge of the MS roadmap and its provision of COM inteoperability once out of Preview, then it’s impossible to say. It’s not a decision I’m taking as to whether I make OGCS support it or not - if Microsoft do not provide the ability to integrate with the New Outlook, then there’s nothing I, or any of the other thousands of developers, can do about it.

However, it’s extremely unlikely they continue to not provide COM integration once Outlook is Generally Available, as they wouldn’t even be able to integrate their own products like Teams.
