Replace OUTLOOK HOME AND BUSINESS Version with OUTLOOK PROFESSIONAL [Standalone]

Hey Techies,

Here is the Scenario,I have been using Office Home and business 2013(installed from Click-to-run setup)  on my WIN-7 pro. As i needed to access

my Microsoft Exchange online archive (i have exchange online plan 2) on Outlook i'd to buy outlook Professional standalone (it has the feature to view online archive where as outlook office home and biz doesn't).

So when i try to install outlook professional standalone onto my PC installer just skip installing the outlook (i think) and complete the installation successfully.I assume installation is skipping because outlook is already present .  

Kindly some one  assist me in installing Outlook professional by not removing other components of office home and business 2013.

Thanks advance.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? It's the same Outlook 2013 in both cases.

At a "very" minimum, you'd have to uninstall Office 365 (2013) - then install the standalone OL '2013 - then re-install Office 2013.  Since I've never tried to install OL'2013 on top of itself - not sure what happens when you try.

Not, it's not *exactly* the same - the Pro Plus version can do online archives & retention policies while the Outlook that comes with Home or Home & Business is missing a thing or two that are only supported by Exchange servers. For 99% of the users, it's no big deal and they never notice.

FWIW, this isn't new and it isn't limited to Outlook - the Office professional and pro plus suites have always had a few extras over lower end retail suites. Excel in Pro Plus also has some additional BI stuff, like power pivot.  AFAIK, Word and PowerPoint are the same in both.   This chart gives an idea of what is different.

As for installing Outlook when a lessor version it's already installed, I'm not sure you can without uninstalling the Home and Business suite and reinstalling it after installing Outlook. It would be better to get the entire pro suite.

Just for the update.

I'd uninstalled the office home and business 2013 and installed outlook standalone first and activated then re-installed office home and business 2013(Click-to-run setup) works fine. Sorry for the delay.

Cheers
