Default I did not get Outlook 2007 with my Office 2007 Trial Version.

You should be able to install Outlook 2007 once you removed Outlook 2003
from your computer even with the trial version.

It turns out that the issue is more complex than expected: Outlook is

not
installed with the trial version because it *is* a trial. Here's the
official explanation:

"Because a Trial is a product that is normally installed for temporary

use
since it expires, the default behavior is replacement of the 'Upgrade'
button with the 'Install' button. This means that when the user clicks

on
the 'Install' button, no legacy Office products are removed (including
Outlook). Since the legacy version of Outlook is not being removed,

Outlook
2007 is not installed. [Only one version of Outlook can be installed on

a
given system.]"

The same official source writes:

"Because this is a confusing area, I've submitted a request for a KB

article
to make it clearer to users what is happening. The KB will explain both

the
Trial and non-Trial behaviors. Once the KB is created, I'll request

that
this info be provided on the Trial web pages.

"This change in behavior for Office 2007 Trial products should make it
easier
for users to go back to the older version of Office."

This is an unusual situation in that a great many users who are

installing
the trial version of Office 2007 have every intention of upgrading when

the
retail version is available, so they want to go ahead and upgrade rather
than install side by side with Office 2003, but this is evidently not

quite
possible at the moment.

Suzanne, I too am having trouble. I read the previous inforation,
uninstalled my outlook 2003 and tried the reinstall of 2007. I still

have
no
outlook avaliable and I also thought I was getting the Business

Contact
Manager (BCM). I would very much like to own 2007 only if I can get
outlook
and BCM!

Okay, that makes sense. I was going on discussions in the private

Office
NG
about Outlook vs. Outlook with BCM.

Suzanne,

Only one 2007 Office system suite does not include Outlook 2007,

the
MS
Office 2007 Home and Student Edition.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/su...635841033.aspx
Some functionality of Outlook for that Edition can be 'gained' by
using
the http://officelive.com, and/or in Windows Vista, Windows
Mail.

MS Office Outlook 2007 Business Contact Manager (BCM) is a

separately
installed, Small Business tool Add-in for Outlook 2007 and
Outlook is an included prerequisite in the chart. There are, for

some
Office 2007 trial additions that have two separate download
portions (CD Images) and some folks have tried to install the
equivalent
of 'CD #2' first.

If Outlook 2007 isn't replaced by an installation of Office 2007
(using
the default 'upgrade' choice) it can be due to the previous
version having some possible damage, often from registry or file
cleaners,
or from deleting, manually files from the \MSOCache or
\Windows\Installer folders at some point in the life of the prior
version.
These 'issues' may not show up in day to day use of the
products. It can be helpful, when upgrading to Office 2007 to

back up
files (of course g) but to then try to complete a Detect &
Repair or Repair/Reinstall before proceeding. If the prior

version
installation is damaged then Office 2007 may not 'see'
accurately what is installed and could then leave older version

apps
behind.

Confusingly, many SKUs of Office 2007 do not include Outlook.

Someone
somewhere must have some rationale for this, but no one I have

talked
to
can figure out the reasoning. It's understandable that
large corporate networks might be using Exchange, but small

business?
