Quoting from YOUR email from Microsoft:
Thank you for participating in the Microsoft® Office 2007 Beta
program.
Listed below are the products you selected and the associated
product keys to activate the beta.
Product Keys:
Microsoft® Office Outlook® 2007 with Business Contact Manager: Not
Applicable
If this is the ONLY application you selected, you cannot run it. Plain and
simple. You will need to download Office Professional to install Outlook,
and THEN you can install the Business Contact Manager ADD-IN!!!
What about this is so hard? You can't run an add-in without the base
program installed first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

|| You cannot install the add-in without the base application, namely
|| Outlook. BCM is only an add-in, not the program.

|||| download the full Office 2007 Professional Edition and install it
|||| first from the 'get the beta' choice on the link below.

|||| download
|||| that or the 2007 outlook, or etc. similar, and bottomline, access
|||| deined or
|||| not gonna happen. What's going here? You gonna give it up or not?
|||| What I have, that is not or refuses to run is:
|||| BCM-EN.EXE program application, AND,
|||| Outlook2007WhatsNewAddin.msi
|||| Now why is that? Especially, since I gotta have that supposeitly MS
|||| office 2007 (free?) download, but I can't seem to get (anything) of
