Likely no more AHK controlling Outlook with the new application.

Seems like this really is a new app and so won't automatically have the capabilities of the old one, but I have to say: there doesn't appear to be anything in those articles about COM automation. "COM Add-ins" are a different thing.

Tried it with this little snippet of code and the new Outlook app and works as usual.

Whoops! There I go accidental spreading false information as if it were fact. My apologies. I definitely made the mistake of equating the COM Add-ins to COM automation. Sorry to scare anyone!

I was able to try the new version of Outlook on my work machine this week with the latest push and COM didn't work

First error comes from ComObjActive("Outlook.Application"), the second comes from ComObjCreate("Outlook.Application"). (Yes, I'm still using v1 for this particular application).

May be this will help:

Didn't have any of those registry keys. Event Viewer shows: "The server {0006F03A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout."

With any luck, I'm just an idiot and doing something wrong. I'd absolutely love to be proven wrong on this!

Maybe it's the ROT?
Kon explained it here.

I just tried it on clean Windows 11 Enterprise 22621.1702 Cloud PC.
If there are no running instances of outlook then ComObjCreate("Outlook.Application") works correctly.

And you’re positive that it’s the New Outlook application that you’re launching???

I never used outlook therefore dont know.
Its path is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\
And its version is 16.0.16227.20318

Outlook 2022 is much better than from current
