I have both Office 2011 and Office 2016 installed on my Mac. I also have Parallels and the windows version of MSFT Office. I need to automate some work and need to use the scripts that are bundled with the Office for Mac 2011 version. I am running Yosemite 10.10.5 (14F1808)
When I enter automator I see the scripts, but they point to the Parallels versions of Office:
I have already researched where are this scripts stored: /Library/Automator
I have disabled in Parallels "Share Windows Applications with Mac"
Automator is set to open these scripts (obviously):

The problem:
I have a feature for a Microsoft Outlook web add-in which works fine in Office 365 Outlook, but when I test the same feature on Outlook for Mac or Outlook for Windows, the same feature doesn't work. The web add-in still installs fine on Outlook for Mac, it's just that there is a discrepancy between the behavior I am seeing on Office 365 Outlook and Outlook for Mac (this is also true when testing on Outlook for Windows, which has the same behavior as the Mac version).
What I've tried (Mac): I've tried running defaults write NSGlobalDomain WebKitDeveloperExtras -bool true as suggested from this answer and defaults write com.microsoft.Outlook OfficeWebAddinDeveloperExtras -bool true as suggested here and have an option to View Source which opens the HTML source in what appears to be a TextEdit window, but I'm still unable to inspect element in order to see any errors.
What I've tried (Windows):
I've tried using the VSCode Debugger Extension for Office Add-Ins to try to attach the debugger to Outlook for Windows, but keep running into this 'Error processing attach' error.
Additional Notes:
On Mac, I'm running Microsoft Outlook for Mac version 16.43 on MacOS Catalina version 10.15.6 and on Windows I'm running Outlook on Windows 10 Pro version 1909 inside a VM.
My understanding is that while debugging web add-ins for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint are all pretty well supported, debugging add-ins for Outlook on Mac or Windows is somewhat limited at the moment. Has anyone had success in debugging Outlook web add-ins running on Outlook for Mac and/or Windows?
For Outlook for Mac, we think this is specific to the Mac App Store build of Office, which currently doesn't support those flags. To workaround this, you will need to get a non App Store build. You can get one by signing up for the developer program and getting a tenant: https://aka.ms/o365devprogram. (similar issue: https://github.com/OfficeDev/office-js/issues/506)
For Outlook for Windows, we suggest attaching a debugger. Instructions for how to attach a debugger can be found here. Note that there is a different debugger for add-ins that run in Edge and IE.
We have an add-in that works fine on Outlook for mac but not on windows for IMAP (Gmail) accounts.
Is the setup different to how the IMAP is configured on MAC and Windows?
Mac Version - 16.41 (20091302)
Win Version - 16.0.13127.20402
This is an issue because a lot of our users are unable to use the add-in when they have multiple accounts in Outlook on windows (of which most are IMAP - Gmail)
I would have thought it would be other way around where Add-ins would be available on Windows and not on Mac since a lot other things are not supported on Mac within outlook.
Are there settings that can be changed to make them available on windows or of anyone knows about this being available in the future?
----------------- UPDATE --------------------
Mac Version - 16.42 (20101102)
So, this morning 19th Oct, 2020. I got an Outlook Update for mac and as per the screenshot below, you can clearly see that I am using a Google Account (IMAP) and the add-ins are availanle.
Outlook Web Add-Ins are only supported on Outlook accounts connected to an Exchange server. Further documentation here : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/outlook/add-in-requirements
When I download Visual Studio Code for my MacBook Pro (running the latest version of MacOS, 10.15.1), I get a message:
“Visual Studio Code.app” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.
Is there a way around this, or is the app being updated?
This is a security mechanism from your operating system. If you trust the app, you can right klick on the file and open it from the context menu. Then you have to confirm again that you want to open it and it should work as expected.
How to install Internet Explorer 11 on MAC machine?
I think it depends on your OS version.
If you are using windows OS, you could install IE browser.
If you are using MacOS, it is impossible to launch Internet Explorer on Mac. But, there are other ways to simulate IE for Mac experience. You could mask Safari as different versions of Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge, you could also install a virtual machine and launch IE for Mac that way.
More details, please check this article and this thread.
