Before installing Outlook Extensions 2.0, any previous versions of Outlook Extensions need to be uninstalled. We recommend you check to see if Outlook Extensions is installed on the computer prior to installing the new version.

Below are details on how to: 


Administrator rights are required to uninstall/install Outlook Extensions.  If you don’t have Administrator rights to your computer, your IT Team will need to do this for you.

Check if Outlook Extensions is Installed

Even if the Add-ins menu isn’t showing in Outlook, it’s still possible Outlook Extensions is installed on the computer.

1.Open Add or Remove Programs

How to do this will depend on the version of Windows you are using. For most versions you can open it by pressing the Windows key on your keyboard, then start typing Add or Remove Programs.  If you are unsure, check with your IT Team.

2.Check to see Outlook Extensions is installed 

  • Scroll down the list of programs until you find FastTrack Outlook Extensions - if it's not listed go to Install Outlook Extensions 2.0
  • Click on FastTrack Outlook Extensions and check the version number:
    • 1.00.0000 is an older version that needs to be uninstalled – go to Uninstall Outlook Extensions
    • 2.00.0000 Outlook Extensions 2.0 is already installed. Close Add or Remove Programs and check Add-in Settings have been added in Outlook

  • Close Outlook
  • In Add or Remove Programs, click Uninstall – accept any confirmation messages to uninstall

We recommend Outlook Extensions 2.0 is installed before opening Outlook again otherwise a "Installing Office Customization" error may appear when Outlook is opened.  If the error does appear click Close.
