The email have successfully send if i run the script in normal way(using IDE) when i try to run the same script from jenkins ,it throws "Exception: Could not launch Outlook, do you have Microsoft Office installed on Windows?"

  • does you Jenkins run on your windows machine or a server? Is Outlook installed on that server? – smelm Dec 04 '20 at 11:38
  • I am running Jenkins in a windows machine and outlook also installed – Saravanan S Dec 04 '20 at 11:40
  • okay, so maybe you need to add it to the PATH. Have a look here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36473479/how-to-set-the-path-environment-variable-in-jenkins-configuration-on-windows for more information. – smelm Dec 05 '20 at 13:18

Yeah ..Now it is working ..it is because of Jenkins running under Admin rights and Outlook is in User Rights...after i start to run Jenkins on User rights(not Admin)it is able to send email through Outlook
