I have been working on this for some time, now. The failure point has moved from SQL to msiexec (progress, I think?!). Now, the logfile reports <MainEngineThread is returning 1605>. Any thoughts? All suggestions and work-arounds are appreciated.

Please post the entire log file, and not as an attachment. Let's see where it's stopping in reality. I probably can make it work for you remotely, but we charge for that service. -- Leonid S.

The following comprises the complete log file. If I am interpreting this correctly, the installer is attempting to find a previously installed GUID. Since the present number for Outlook 2007 differs from that of my prior 2003 installation (or a file is corrupted), it cannot uninstall potentially conflicting files; so, the program is forced to terminate. Let me know what you think. If a little guidance will get this feature running, then I shall be grateful for your input. If it proves more difficult, then we should discuss what it would take to complete the recovery. --Thank you for your comments and insights. === Verbose logging started: 10/31/2006 12:12:47 Build type: SHIP UNICODE 3.01.4000.2435 Calling process: C:\WINDOWS\system32\msiexec.exe === MSI (c) (38:20) [12:12:47:359]: Resetting cached policy values MSI (c) (38:20) [12:12:47:359]: Machine policy value 'Debug' is 0 MSI (c) (38:20) [12:12:47:359]: ******* RunEngine: ******* Product: {B32C4059-6E7A-41EF-AD20-56DF1872B923} ******* Action: ******* CommandLine: ********** MSI (c) (38:20) [12:12:47:375]: Client-side and UI is none or basic: Running entire install on the server.

Looks like that log is incomplete. There are other logs. Windows Installer cleanup tool may help to clean up this mess. Or perhaps restoring the LSI for the previous version of office. I posted a technique how to install the SQL server instance in case like this before. I think I have a copy of that article on my site. -- Leonid S.

Thank you for your reply. You are correct, there are other logs; however, the posting above is the complete text of the last log created. Moreover, all of the previous logs indicate a successful installation and termination of the installer. The data seem to suggest that the sought GUID is different from the one actually installed. If this is true, then one must ask, how can I break-out of this seemingly intractable situation? All attempts to install, re-install, uninstall and repair have produced an error message showing a failed installation. Does anyone know how to force the unsinstall? Are there specfic files that one could remove manually that would allow the un-installation to succeed?
There is a tool called Windows Install Cleanup http://www.**--****.com/ http://www.**--****.com/ The issue I foresee is fixing the .NET framework issues after using the cleanup tool. -- Leonid S.

Thanks. I will try the tool. It should help with at least part of the problem. I also think you are right about the .net situation. I have encountered one or two other things that suggest not all is well in the .net Framework.
Yeah we suggest to run .NET Repair usually. It is in the add/remove programs, highlight .Net framework, click change, click repair. I doubt that will fix the whole situation though. -- Leonid S.

1.B2TR Outlook with BCM -- BCM will not run, uninstall, or repair
I was running Outlook with BCM 2007 without problems. I installed the TR and ran into trouble with the BCM TR. Now, I have B2TR Outlook installed and some form of BCM on my system. The uninstaller for Beta does not recognize the BCM version. Outlook B2TR issues an error at startup saying that the BCM version is incompatible. The uninstaller for B2TR BCM also fails. BCM B2TR is in a strange state. BCM will not run, will not uninstall, will not reinstall, and will not repair. What can I do to get this feature running?
2.(revised) INSTALL BCM - uninstall BCM - install BCM - still no BCM
An Addendum - 10 minutes later) I just went into the DATA FILE MANAGEMENT setting on OLK (outlook) and added BCM. Like before - it installs it but there is NO TOOLBAR so I cannot restore - move - or add contact to my old BCM contact database. (from a previous version of outlook). SO - my problems are reduced to ADDING THE BCM TOOLBAR to the top of my OUTLOOK 2003 window. I have the OUTLOOK CONNECTOR showing but no BCM. thanx again - in advance - DRIX "Drix" wrote: > HI - whew - please help me get my OUTLOOK w/bcm to show my BC's again. > > I excitedly have the fat 2 disk set of OFFICE SBM 2006.

3.INSTALL BCM - uninstall BCM - install BCM - still no BCM
HI - whew - please help me get my OUTLOOK w/bcm to show my BC's again. I excitedly have the fat 2 disk set of OFFICE SBM 2006. It works but for the BCM (the second most important part after email). In increasingly desperate attempts to get it to function correctly, I read and did most of what was suggested here in this forum. I put in CD ONE to put in OUTLOOK, put in CD 2 to added BCM (and accounting) and after several attempts of install and un-install and re-install I got it to work - BUT with NO TOOLBAR. sigh... 2 days full of frustrating hours I have NO BCM, NO TOOLBAR and NO MORE CLUES as to what to do. PULEEEEZE TEAM MS - help me get back to work here. FEEDBACK CLUES: The registry (as in another post) says: REGDWORD (3) and I've done ALL of the updates. BIG CLUE - I also re-installed WINXP (pro) and noticed it added me (log in name) twice, once as DRIX (primary) and NOW I'm DRIX.millhouse (my network) with my other programs still listed there but w/o functionality to them. (sigh again...) PULEEEZE help me kidz - im losing time - patience - AND the names/numbers to MY CLIENTS!!!!!!! (yikes!) THANX - I'll be here waiting for your holy words of cure. Drix
4.Importing BCM 2003 backup in another language in B2TR and Outlook 2007 with BCM
I once downloaded the whole Office 2007. With BCM it went completely wrong. It as not possible to import the backup of BCM 2003 into Outlook 2007, 'Sorry, wrong language' the error message was. (BCM 2007 did not convert my BCM 2003 database automatically). And so I had to end Office 2007, reinstall Outlook 2003 and BCM 2003, which took about an hour. Now there is the Technical Refresh. Will I now be able to import the Dutch BCM 2003 backup? Or will the conversion of BCM 2003 to BCM 2007 succeed during installation? Is there anyone having positive experiences? Paolo
5.Install/Uninstall Purgatory BCM B2TR
I had Office 2007 with BCM running well. I installed B2TR. Outlook and everything else installed and ran fine. For some reason the BCM install failed. I then tried to uninstall BCM for Outlook 2007 (not the B2TR) and the uninstall failed. I then tried to reinstall BCM for Outlook 2007. It failed. I am completely stuck. BCM does not run, and I can neither uninstall the current cofiguration nor repair it. The B2TR will not install, either. ...very grateful for suggestions...
