Issue: Microsoft Outlook 2010, 2013 and 2016 crashes after installing Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2016 SP1 - KB3154952 (on-premises)
Crashes becomes a lot more aggressive when other add-ins (especially from 3rd party) are installed for outlook. If 3rd party addin gets disabled in outlook then number of Outlook crash will reduce. While working with one such add-in we were seen Outlook crash as soon as outlook would start.

Cause: KB3154952 release version 08.01.0000.0359 that released in mid 2016 (close to July) had issue where Outlook will crash a lot more after Outlook Client for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2016 would get upgraded to this release.
Solution: Microsoft seems to have re-published service pack for KB3154952 on 21st September 2016 under same version 08.01.0000.0359. However new set of downloads have newer version of Microsoft Dynamics CRM Outlook client 2016 version 08.1.0000.0371.

Basically when new setup files will be used, following that you should see version of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2016 Outlook Client to be reported as 08.01.0000.0371 in program manager.
Reference: Came across this page while looking for Microsoft articles that could explain why we say that difference in versions which seems to explain what others have also encountered/
