Changing installed Office executable path

All,

I have a Visual Studio project for Outlook plugin. It works perfectly fine. The office installed on the PC env is Office 2013.


I have another PC with Office 2016. When I tried to debug the same project with this PC with Office 2016, the error pops up saying that it cannot find Outlook.exe for Office 2013. Looks like the project keeps the absolute path to Outlook.exe file for Office 2013. However, I would like to use the same Outlook.exe file but for Office 2016 in the 2nd PC. Is there any settings that we can change the path to Outlook.exe so that the project would look for the path to Office 2016 outlook.exe file.

Thanks.

Hello Fumi,

Right click on your project in Visual Studio Solution Explorer, choose Properties, switch to the Debug tab and change path in the Start external program text box.
