Had the same problem. Go to
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA102225181033.aspx

Download the full install manually. Install it. DO NOT UNINTSALL your
previous version as this will cause you to lose your connector accounts.

Which is no big deal because it's simple enough to add them in again.

Simpler still not to have to.

The problem isn't the lack of instructions - it should be seamless and
automatic, with your only effect being clicking ok a time or two.
Unfortunately there is a bug in the automatic update process - its now
disabled until they figure it out.

I've never lost the accounts when I uninstall the connector - they are still
in the profile. They are only lost if you remove them from the profile.

You need to close outlook, install the connector you downloaded (uninstall
is optional) and restart outlook - the important part is closing outlook
before running the install.
