Hi @Alan Cameron ,
Glad to see you have already got your issue fixed.
And yes, it is normal that we can not re-install Outlook alone. Outlook is part of Microsoft Office programs and we could only completely uninstall or reinstall the whole Microsoft Office.
By the way, in order to close this thread, please kindly mark helpful replies or your own reply as answers so that others who might have a similar question can benefit from your thread. Thanks for your understanding and support.
Have a nice day :)
