Now, you will never miss an appointment no matter where you are

Install RemoteCalendars
Installing RemoteCalendars maybe a little tedious than it is to normally install any application, but we will attempt to explain how this is to be done in easy steps. Close Outlook if it is open. Install Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 if you have not already installed. You can get it from here. Extract the contents of the RemoteCalendarsSetup-6.3ALL.zip file to a folder. Inside the folder, where you extracted files, you will find a Prerequisites folder from which you must first unpack O2003PIA.EXE and install O2003PIA.MSI. Next, install the file vstor.exe, which is also in the Prerequisites folder. Lastly, install RemoteCalendarsSetup.msi from the main RemoteCalendar folder.

Configure RemoteCalendars
The next time you launch Outlook after this installation, the Remote Calendar Options window will open automatically. Now, you can set the timezone to yours, so that all items stay in sync. Optionally, you can also check the Automatic Update box for this purpose. Now, click on the Subscribe a RemoteCalendar button to add your Google Calendar to Outlook.

Next, you need to copy the iCal URL for your calendar's Private Address on the Calendar Settings page.

Paste the copied iCal URL in the Remote Calendar's URL box, add the calendar name and check the box next to it's my Google Calendar and I want to sync both ways.
