can't find Outlook 2007 after trial installation of Office 2007

[Richard Stricker]

Hi, tried to install the office trial professional 2007 today. After finally
uninstalling all beta references did get a "successful" installation. Went
to check my email and can't find Outlook anywhere.

Tried the idea of business contact manager for outlook but that asks me for
an outlook to install over, and says it can't find it.

Any ideas?

YOu will need to remove prior version of Outlook and then re-run Office 2007 setup, using a custom installation and mark Outlook as available.

Hi, Trying to figure out why outlook wasn't included in my download of
Office Pro 2007. Thought maybe the download was incomplete (there are those
two download buttons). Downloaded it a second time. Still not there.

Tried to install the outlook contact manager, but got the message that can't
happen without outlook present. Thought maybe outlook was part of another
grouping of office programs. Downloaded Office standard. Still not there.

Imagined maybe something about the whole installation of Office 07 was
corrupt (partly because of the warning about sql express being
"incompatible" with some features) but also just to get a fresh start.
Uninstalled all the 07 office programs.

Downloaded a fresh copy of office pro. This time a slightly different
configuration of download files. First few times was 2 downloads of about
300 mgs each, this time the second one was 148 kb. Maybe this will be the
charm. Started the installer.

Noticed that a "custom" installation was offered. So looked at that to see
if outlook was mentioned. It was and I selected it but found out I needed to
remove my old outlook xp first. (This should have been mentioned in the
download/installation instructions, I think)

Removed the old outlook. Ran the installer. No outlook. Ran the installer
and looked at add components. Saw outlook with a big red x saying not
available.

Closed the installer. Sometime later, forget just head scratching, this was
a hair pulling event, opened the add components and clicked on add from
this computer.

So fine, the installer got the outlook 07 that had been there all along and
installed it.

Guess what happens next?

Richard...
I sure hope some one helps you...I have had exactly the same problem. There
is a red "x" by the outlook program when you go to the modify screen. It
looks like the program is not downloaded with the rest of the suite.
If I do not catch an answer to your quiry, will you please email me when you
get help?
Thanks, Tom

BTW, do you know if you uninstall Outlook 2003 first, will you lose all of
your archived emails and adressbook?

Hi Tirado,

You won't normally lose any of your files and email, but as with any significant change to your PC you should back up your files
first as a safeguard.
