Failed to initialize the Common Language Runtime

[DonW]

I have a copy of Office Enterprise 2007 and downloaded the Small Biz trial in
order to get a copy of BCM 2007. There is nothing that I have been able to
do to get it to run. I always end up with the same message "Business Contact
Manager failed to initialize the Common Language Runtime. The system cannot
file the file specified."

Some of the things I've tried include

*Uninstalling .Net 2.0

*Unistalling .Net 1.1

*Uninstalling all of the Enterprise version

*Installing only the entire Small Biz trial

*Delete KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Business Solutions eCRM

After fooling around with it for about 7 hours in various combinations, I'm
about out of ideas. I used BCM extensively in Office 2003, and was very
disappointed to find out it wasn't in the Enterprise version.

My environment is Windows XP sp2.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi I am having this same problem and noticed no response. Did you get your
question answered or figure the problem yet? Its been frustrating and I
really liked the small biz contacts aspect, for the 2 nights i ran it.

If you resolve, please tell me how, I too am running XP SP2

Jerry,

No, I have not gotten a response. Not on this board, not on the BCM blog,
not anywhere that Google can find. It's very frustrating.

This _should_ work.

Uninstall BCM
Uninstall .NET 2.0.
Reinstall BCM--which should install .NET 2.0, along with two patches
that fix bugs in .NET 2.0.
