Today I can across the
following issue:
“The program can’t start
because BCSRuntime.dll is missing from your system. Try reinstalling the
program to fix this problem.”
This issue is apparently
associated with using Microsoft Office 2003 while having some Microsoft 2010
product such as Office, Visio, Projects, etc. installed. It is an easy fix – thanks to
this helpful link. Here are the instructions of how to resolve the issue
below.
Close Outlook
Start
Control Panel
Add/Remove Programs (Win XP)
or Programs and Features (Win 7)
** Win 7 – if you are in
Category View: Programs – Uninstall a program
Click: Microsoft Office 2010 (or other Microsoft 2010 product)
Click: Change (near the top menu)
Choose: Add
or Remove Features
Choose: Office Shared Features
Choose: Down arrow by Business Connectivity
Services to disable [not available]
Choose: Continue
Once the setup is complete,
you should be able to open Outlook 2003 without the error message.
