I did not get Outlook 2007 with my Office 2007 Trial Version.
When the retail version ships, I would imagine.

"NGray" wrote in message ... So when is it going to be available? -- NGray "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: 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 S.

"NGray" wrote in message ... 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! -- NGray "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Okay, that makes sense. I was going on discussions in the private Office NG about Outlook vs. Outlook with BCM. -- Suzanne S.

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. ============== "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... 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? -- Suzanne S.
