Yes, you can repair a PST file even if Outlook is not installed. Manual repair methods like ScanPST require Outlook, but third-party tools work independently. This is useful if Outlook is not installed, corrupted, or unable to launch. Advik PST Repair Tool can repair broken, inaccessible, or damaged PST files from any system without relying on Outlook. After the repair, it creates a new PST file that you can import into Outlook when it is available. This makes the tool ideal for IT technicians, users with system errors, or those who prefer repairing data separately.
