When do you get the error? At runtime?
On the outlook card do you see the dropdown having “default” and the email account?

Error loading type library/DLL

Error message: Unable to cast COM object of type ‘Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.ApplicationClass’ to interface type ‘Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook._Application’. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID ‘{00063001-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}’ failed due to the following error: Error loading type library/DLL.

Cause: This issue is caused by a leftover registry key if you have downgraded your version of Microsoft Office from either Office 2010 to Office 2007, or Office 2013 to Office 2010 or 2007.

Solution: This issue can be resolved by deleting an invalid registry key left over from the higher version of Office.

Link to the discussion: Outlook issue - Unable to cast COM object of type ‘Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.ApplicationClass’

Solutions that are offered: reinstall Office or clean the registry.

You make any manipulations at your own risk. If you’re not sure, then don’t try to edit the registry. Reinstalling Office seems to me an easier attempt to fix the issue.
