This issue has been solved. See solution.

I can deploy the MSI without issue as long as Outlook is closed, if it's open I get a hung process no matter what I try. Is there a method of telling the job to ignore the open application?

Kill Outlook

Kill Outlook using taskkill

This will forcefully close any open outlook.exe processes:
taskkill /IM outlook.exe /F

But if that doesn't work in testing, try this one instead, which will also close any child processes of outlook.exe:
taskkill /IM outlook.exe /T /F

For me, taskkill /IM outlook.exe /F closed Outlook and all my IE windows.
