The problem usually occurs after you have upgraded to Outlook 2013 from a previous version.
To fix this problem, we will have to make changes in the registry. You can attack this one of two ways. Using the registry import file, or making the change yourself manually.
Method 1: Import File
Use these steps if you’re a novice and not too familiar with working in the Registry Editor.
- Close Microsoft Outlook.
- Download the OutlookFix file.
- Open the OutlookFix.zip file by double-clicking on it.
- Open the OutlookFix.reg file by double-clicking on it.
- If prompted by UAC for permission to make changes to the computer, select “Yes“.
- A Registry Editor dialog box will appear asking “Are you sure you want to continue?”. Select “Yes“.
- A message should appear telling you that the Registry was modified successfully.
- Open Microsoft Outlook and select “Personal Folders” or use any other method to access the “Outlook Today” screen. The error message should no longer appear.
Method 2: Manually Editing the Registry
If you know what you’re doing when it comes to the Windows Registry, use the following method.
- Close Microsoft Outlook.
- Hold the Windows Key then press “R“.
- Type “regedit” then select “OK“.
- Navigate to the following location:
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
- Typelib
- {0006F062-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
- Expand {0006F062-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} via the plus sign, then right-click the “1.0” folder, then select “Delete”
- Select “Yes” since you do want to permanently delete the value.
- Close the Reigstry Editor.
- Open Microsoft Outlook and select “Personal Folders” or use any other method to access the “Outlook Today” screen. The error message should no longer appear.

May 4, 2019 at 12:36 pmUsing outlook 365 and used the regedit advice.. I had a file named 1.0 and one named 1.2. Deleted the file named 1.0 and it worked. The script error no longer shows up every time I open outlook.. Very helpful as I could not find a fix to this error, even by microsoft. Thank you!

November 23, 2018 at 2:07 pmI followed these steps but when I expand 006FO62-0000-0000-C00-000000000046
There is no folder 1.0. I have folders 1.1 and 1.2.
So following other suggestions here I deleted 1.2 and the problem was fixed. Thank you!

Christi says
July 15, 2016 at 9:13 amI followed these steps but when I expand 006FO62-0000-0000-C00-000000000046
There is no folder 1.0. I have folders 1.1 and 1.2. Folder 1.1 expands to 0 (which expands to win32), FLAGS, and HELPDIR. Any idea what I should do?
