In Office 365, which uses the Click-to-Run technology, Office program files are now in a new location.


When you experience issues with Outlook, often you would use the ScanPST.exe tool to repair PST and OST files with Outlook.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15\ScanPST.exe
This should apply for both 32-bit and 64-bit installations of Office 365.

Update:

Microsoft has published a Knowledge Base article list the locations of the ScanPST utility depending on your installation of Office 365. Whether you're using 32 or 64 bit versions.
