Calendar invite opening in OWA rather than Outlook desktop app

Hi folks,

I have a user trying to add a shared calendar to his outlook desktop app, but whenever he accepts the invite, a web browser opens a link prompting him to use the OWA, rather than importing the calendar into his desktop app. Outlook has been set as both the default calendar and mail app in the OS.
Any thoughts?

@jaugust Take a look at:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -h

Something along the lines of the following may help:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -seed -domain u -domain s -domain l -v

Is this a shared internet calendar not a calendar shared by a co-worker or mailbox that's part of your organization?

Outlook for Mac itself cannot open shared internet calendars. However, if you add it via OWA, it may sync from OWA down to Outlook for Mac.

This doesn't work for all shared internet calendars. It depends on the format of the content.
