So when I am trying to uninstall the Zoom outlook plug in the file that was supposed to be uninstalled cannot be found. I get a message that the path C:\users\pboza\Appdata\Roaming\ZoomPlugin\CheckForUpdate\5.3.52819.0925.msi cannot be found. The installation package 5.3.52819.0925.msi is missing and therefore cannot be uninstalled. The problem is that the plug in remains in my outlook and cannot remove it from my Settings > Apps and Features.
@PetrosBoz Since this is a Microsoft community talking about a Microsoft product, why is someone offering 3rd party software to uninstall a Microsoft product? Isn't there a Zoom Removal tool? All good/ but Intrusive software applications have them. Can someone please give me the Registry Entries or the Zoom Outlook Plugin Removal tool to uninstall this plugin? Then I can reinstall. I uninstalled office365 desktop suite but, because of Microsoft 0365 account, the zoom plugin persists along with BROKEN plugins after uninstalling and reinstalling Office365.
We deploy zoom outlook plugin msi through SCCM in our environment. If we manually install/uninstall or go through sccm to upgrade a previous outlook plugin install we get these errors. The zoom cleanup tool doesnt work for the plugin.
I am having the same issue. I continually receive an error message that says a network resource is unavailable. It is looking for an installation package containing '5.8.6.170.msi'. It also prevents me from installing Zoom updates.
I too am having the same problem. The msiexec /x call fails "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed'", whilst trying to reinstall the plugin fails because it cannot find the uninstaller (in my case 5.11.0.532.msi). There is another installer in the AppData cache 5.11.3.563.msi but using that fails "is not a valid installation package for the Zoom Outlook Plugin
Hi, answering this because "I know how" and "these work for me" YMMV.
tl;dr
The Zoom uninstaller has very limited usefulness if the original source files are missing. You will need to Brute Force it via one of these three methods in order of preference for risk tolerance.
1. Microsoft Program installer /uninstaller Fix problems that block programs from being installed or removed (microsoft.com)
Official MS app/link that fixes the problem 9/10 times. Run it, wait.......pick Zoom Wait..................Click next a few times, Done.
You can reboot if you like but it generally works as long as Zoom isn't actually running (or anything that uses the Zoom Plugin like Outlook) before you run it.
2. Windows Profile deletion "Tactical Nuclear Option"
Yeah nobody really wants to do this unless you hate your users, and yourself.
3. Regedit GUID "Search and Destroy!"
Find the GUID of the offending app (however you fancy) in regedit and kill it, with fire. If the first two option were the Army and the Air Force-- This option is Special Forces. Go in and surgically remove the thing you don't like without mucking up the works. - Really only done if Option 2 has been done or you can't do option 2. sometimes there's more than one.
Why does this happen?
Well I don't really know the why OK? 'cause I'm busy trying to fix other stuff, important stuff like the internet powered, espresso machine.
But I do know that it happens on managed systems (SCCM, N-ABLE) where third parties patch the app from a temp repository. When Zoom pushes an update (and you don't have it turned off in Group policy for example) it doesn't play well with your "managed" version and Boom you are in Dante's Hell of installation loops.
Good Luck and God Speed
Side note If you actually keep a repository of all the old MSIs you have delivered, you might be able to copy the to the local machine and see if that works as a source.
An update (either Windows or Zoom; take your pick) broke this plugin in Outlook for a user of mine. I tried to uninstall it and the popup said it was on a Network resource that it couldn't find... Its missing the ZoomOutlookPlugin64.dll. I did a "dirty" install and that Zoom Plugin directory never gets created. I did a search on another computer and found the directory.
Anyone know if I can copy the directory with all the .dlls to get it to recognize it and maybe allow uninstall? I need a ZoomPluginRemovalTool for x86 and x64 bit please. Also, is there some registry entries I could delete that would facilitate my uninstall/reinstall? btw... I uninstalled Outlook 365 x64 COMPLETELY and still got same problem within Outlook. Plugin won't install or uninstall after being broke. Any info would be appreciated.
This Zoom Outlook Email Windows add-in mimics the zoom in Outlook except that it persists even if Outlook is exited and re-entered. Plus, it even has separate zoom factors for the preview pane and the individual email reading windows.

Set your preferred zoom percentage and how you want the zoom button to behave and you are done! This add-in does all the work so you can get back to yours.

I found it! The zoom plug-in / add-in is not provided by the Microsoft store, rather installed by zoom itself, so you won't find it in the Microsoft store > my add-ins area. If you go to finder > applications, you will see a folder called 'Zoom plugin for Outlook', in that folder is an uninstall icon. Close outlook, uninstall, and voila....zoom gone!
The Zoom for Outlook add-in allows you to schedule Zoom meetings directly in a new calendar invitation in Outlook on all platforms: Windows, Mac, Web, IOS/IPadOS, and Android. This is not the old Zoom plugin for outlook which only worked on Outlook for Windows.
If you are not signed into zoom you will be prompted to sign into Zoom. In the web version it will open an new window, in the application a window in the app will open. Both will ask you to sign into zoom. Be sure to click on the 'SSO' link and enter 'arizona' in the SSO sign-in window.
