outlook2gcal

This app syncs your Outlook calendar with your (private) Google calendar. The synchronisation is only one-way: Outlook events are pushed to your Google Calendar. All types of events (including recurring events like anniversaries) are supported. Note: no admin rights required

Alternatives

GoogleCalendarSync worked fine for me until I had to switch from Windows XP to Windows 7. In Windows 7 GoogleCalendarSync requires admin rights to install it.
