Setup failed to determine whether a supported version of Microsoft Outlook is installed : Outlook Client Setup failed for Outlook 2010

You may receive the below mentioned error while installing Outlook Client for Outlook 2010 as shown below.

The Fix is as below:




Close the setup windows from the taskbar, and it will prompt for confirmation to close. Click "Yes". (Shown as below)

The setup will continue.




Once setup completed you could open the outlook and configure it. 


Remember the Rollup update 7 is most recommended and then you could install any latest Rollup updates. Currently Rollup Update 12 is available. 


Also Some Other posts says about setting registry key and it did not worked for me. The setting as below



[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSCRMClient]
"IgnoreChecks"=dword:00000001
