Can't launch outlook in visual studio through TFS add-in

I am using visual studio 2013 with Team foundation Server add-in. Opening up a TFS task/bug item, there is a outlook icon button, which allow me to open up outlook new email with the TFS item title.

my visual studio runs in administrator mode. I have two office versions installed (office 2013 and office 2016.) Each time when I switch office versions, I will do a repair for the office version. and most time I was using office 2013 and everything works fine including open outlook through TFS add-on.

today, suddenly I couldn't open outlook through the TFS add-on, the error is

Unable to cast COM object of type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.ApplicationClass' to interface type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook._Application'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{00063001-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}' failed due to the following error: Library not registered. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8002801D (TYPE_E_LIBNOTREGISTERED)).

I repaired office 2013, but didn't work.

some one knows other possibilities of the issue?

thanks.

The root issue is that the Version reference for the TypeLib created by the Outlook installation is pointing to a incorrect value.

The root issue is that their is a problem with the Outlook installation Common Object Model (COM) interface where the version referencefor the TypeLib entry set by the Outlook installation is pointing to a incorrect value/version or that version does not point to a correct location. If you continue to have issues then you may beed to reinstall Microsoft Outlook. Repairing the Outlook installation does not fix this issue so a reinstall is suggested.

Just following the steps mentioned in below article to fix that: https://www.fieldstonsoftware.com/support/support_gsyncit_8002801D.shtml

Just verify that with Regedit.exe, check below keys:

 HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface\{00063001-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\TypeLib

 HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{00062FFF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}

Verify if the type library (GUID should be {00062FFF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}) is indeed properly registered, using the correct type library version number.
