Question

I am on windows 7 and I have windows live installed. Now when I am trying to run following code

import win32com.client
win32com.client.Dispatch(\"Outlook.Applica         


        

Answer 1

This is an indication that Outlook is not installed. "windows live" or "outlook.com" would not help you.
