Error Number : 29521 Installing BcmBeta2TR.exe

[albartholow]

Getting above error installing Outlook 2007 with BCM Beta at the point where
it installs the imbedded SQL Server Express package. The message text is
"Cannot alter login 'sa', because it does no exist or you do not have
permission." I have created the "sa" user on the local machine and have given
it administrator authority. I downloaded the SQL Server Express 2005 package
and successfully installed it while logged in as "sa". Tried again to install
the BCM Beta package while logged in as "sa" with admin privileges. Got the
same error at the same point. Any ideas?

Let me suggest that you instead get BCM Trial in the Microsoft Office Small
Business 2007 from
http://us1.trymicrosoftoffice.com/.

Thanks Chris for the suggestion. I did as you suggested and pulled BCM from
the file X13-40150.exe. It failed the same way at the same spot. Good try
though.

You may have run into something specific about the username sa, sql
server, and bcm. Historically sa was the dba account in sql's own
login scheme, and bcm explicitly configures its database to use
Windows authentication only. Just a guess.

A co-worker made an install CD for me from an MSDN Subscriber download of BCM
and it installed fine. Problem solved.
