outlook message 0xc0000142
Since you get this message because the app won't open, that link is not useful.
The "fix" of telling you to open Outlook and run an update is worse than usless... it is outright insulting.
clinton1022-- I started having the same problem today. Have you had any satisfactory fix information?
Floored by this solution that requires you to have the error fixed before being able to try it.
This doesn't help as it requires you to open an Office app to complete the update. Since one cannot open the app, hard to install an update..
- Tried start it in safe mode?
Outlook.exe /safe
Adamsafe mode doesn't work, produces the same error
Problem with this is that it won't let me start ANY Office application. I can't get at my email. What about a UK freephone, or at least local rate, number?
- Hi Allan, Consider running the Support and Recovery Assistant for Office 365. I fairly sure it will be able to fix your issue. https://diagnostics.office.com/#/Download?env=SOC Best Regards Mark
This tool is absolutely useless.
After failing to account for my SSO authentication on my main account, I had to sign in with my live ID and it told me the solution was not available to my account.
For real? Really?
So now I have to uninstall all of my office apps and reinstall and reconfigure them? Really?
I tried to open an Office app so that I could apply the update but was not able to open anything. Any suggestions?
- Having the same issue and this "fix" doesn't fix the problem at all. In order for it to work, you need to be able to open an application that won't open in the first place
Precisely the same. Why not provide some "help" that actually helps the paying punters, rather than play a guessing game hoping another punter might know?
