While installing some of Outlook components you may get following error:

“Outlook 2010 may not be installed with a newer version of outlook”

This error is caused by at least two possible reasons:

1. There is already an Outlook 2010 installed on the machine and you are trying to install CDO library.
2. There is already CDO (Collaboration Data Objects) library installed on the machine and you are trying to install Outlook 2010.

What ever the reason is, remove previously installed components. The error is caused by side by side installation of CDO and Outlook 2010, which is NOT supported. CDO and related components are deprecated since Outlook 14 (2010).

If you need to implement client based peace of code, you will have to use either MAPI or Outlook Object model as an Add-In or any kind of other application type.
