Solutions

We'll re-register Prophet's files.

There is a different file for 32-bit Office and 64-bit Office.

If you are the Administrator for your company's Terminal Servers, such as Citrix or Microsoft's RDS, this process only needs be done once.

Then each user will run C:\Program Files\Avidian Technologies\Prophet\ConfigureProphetClient.exe

Determine the bit-level of Office.

1. In Outlook, Click File > Office Account
2. In the Office Account screen click 'About Outlook'
3. Verify if you are running Outlook 32-bit or Outlook 64-bit (top of About Outlook window)
   

Open an Administrator PowerShell (Admin) Window

Right-click Windows's Start button.

Click Windows PowerShell (Admin).

If you get an error, or there is not a PowerShell (Admin) option, please see below "No PowerShell Prompt or Error".

Click Yes to prompts asking if you want "All the app to make changes"

Type the following code, based on your version of Outlook

For 32-Bit Office

Type: cd C:\Program Files\Avidian Technologies\Prophet\x32 (press enter)
Type: Unregister (press enter)
     A number of commands will run.
Type: Register (press enter)

For 64-Bit Office

Type: cd C:\Program Files\Avidian Technologies\Prophet\x64 (press enter)
Type: Unregister64 (press enter)
     A number of commands will run.
Type: Register64 (press enter)

Open File Explorer and navigate to C:\Program Files\Avidian Technologies\Prophet

Double click to run ConfigureProphetClient.exe

Click OK. Leave the Powershell or Command window open for now.

Open Outlook and test.

If Prophet's folders still show a Black X review the commands that were run.
