This article was previously published under Q291609

SYMPTOMS

If you synchronize an offline folder (.ost) file in Microsoft Outlook, you may receive the following error message:
The operation failed due to a registry or installation problem. Restart Outlook and try again. If the problem persists, please reinstall.
If you click OK, Outlook continues to run properly. If you close and try to restart Outlook, you may receive the following error message:
Your offline folder file could not be configured. \\<ComputerName>\<FolderName>\Outlook.ost

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the .ost file is located on another computer and is not shared or is not available.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, store your .ost file on your local computer or verify that the .ost that is located on the other computer is available before you synchronize the .ost file.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
