Jello 5 and Microsoft Outlook connector

There were  several strange and unresolved reports from Jello Dashboard users about a mysterious line 14 error which couldn’t be reproduced. They were not so much, but enough to drive me crazy.

Until one user reported using a Microsoft utility to manage hotmail accounts inside Outlook: The Microsoft Outlook Connector.

I immediately downloaded the product and installed it. Started Outlook and tried to run Jello.

As you can imagine I found an incompatibility with Jello Dashboard. For reasons unknown Jello Dashboard cannot run in Outlook if the Microsoft Outlook connector is installed.

Fortunately, you can run it without problems though standalone using the jello5.hta file.

So if you have been unable to run Jello Dashboard from your Outlook, this might be the reason.
