Failed install of Business Contact Manager 2007...help?

[Clinton Ford [MSFT]]

We've had a number of reports like this one. In most cases, the SQL service is failing to start.

1.) Restarting your computer
2.) Right-click on "My Computer" and select "Manage"
3.) Expand the "Services and Applications" folder and click on "Services"
4.) If you have Outlook & BCM 2007, look for "SQL Server (MSSMLBIZ)"
Outlook & BCM 2003, look for "MSSQL$MICROSOFTSMLBIZ"
5.) Check the status to ensure that it is running

If not, you can check the event log for errors:
1.) Click "Start | Run" then type eventvwr and click "OK"
2.) Check the Application & System logs for errors around the time that you encountered the error

Let me know what you find.

Oh dear,
I have uninstalled, reinstalled SQL, reinstalled BCM2007 and still get
the same error :-(

Isn't there anyone from the Mighty Microsoft listening???

I am also having the same problem, however, my installation is failing when
it tries to modify the mapisvc.inf file because it says there is a
permissions problem. I have tried to go out and rename the file, but of
course with thenew permissions in Vista, I have no rights to modify and file
in the system32 directory. What can I do to get past this error??
