Microsoft Office Professional 2007

[jjbfoster]

I have installed the trial version of Office Professional 2007 to determine
if I want to upgrade. Microsoft Outlook 2007 did not install. I
re-installed the trial version and outlook still did not install. Can
someone tell me if Outlook 2007 is a part of the trial version? The
advertisement leads one to believe that it is. If so, can someone tell me
what I have done wrong? I am running Windows XP Professional (SP2).

If I remove Outlook 2003, will I then need to re-install Outlook 2007? One
remark in the message stated that Outlook 2007 was not installed. I thought
since Excel and Word upgraded that Outlook would also upgrade.

Hi J.J.,


Of the Office apps, Outlook is the only one that doesn't allow 2 different versions to be active. The Trial and retail products of
Office 2007 treat older versions differently when using the default setup choices:

The trial editions of Office 2007 leave the older versions in place,
The retail editions of Office 2007 remove the older versions.

So, to use Outlook 2007 with the trial choice you can

a. During initial setup use the custom setup choice when first installing and choose to remove Outlook 2003 and put Outlook 2007 in

or

b. If after installing Office 2007 you want to switch to Outlook 2007 you can

(1)Go to Add/Remove Programs in the Windows control panel, choose your older Microsoft Office version and in that version set
Microsoft Office Outlook to 'Not available' status,

(2) Restart the PC then go back to Add/Remove programs in the Windows control panel, choose the Microsoft Office 2007 choice and
set Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 to 'run from my PC'.

====================

I had the same problem. All I did was go to Install/Remove Programs and
selected Microsoft Office Professional 2007. I then chose "Change". Then
just click on "Add or Remove Features". You then click on the very first
pull down arrow, or the very first line on the list of choices and select,
"Run ALL from my computer". It will install Outlook no matter what. Mine is
working fine. Hope yours does too. Good Luck!
