A new version of Outlook Hotmail Connector is available and its getting pushed out to users as an automatic upgrade. We’re seeing a lot of reports about the install going into an endless loop. This was somewhat common in older versions as well – the fix is:

1. Close outlook
2. Uninstall the older version (not required, but I prefer to do it)
3. Download and install the new connector yourself.
4. Restart Outlook.
