I have installed MS Office pro 2007 with Business contact manager on my
computer after uninstalling an older version of office pro 2002. The 2007
office suite installed ok but when I start the install for disk 2 containing
business contact manager I am receiving the following error.
(Setup failed to install the required component Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Express (MSSMLBIZ). Business contact Manager for Outlook 2007 cannot
continue. See C:\Program File\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup
Bootstrap\Log\Summary.txt for more detail)
I am running XP with enough memory and hard drive space for the install.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling office, running the win cleanup
utility downloaded from Microsoft’s support site, down loading the latest
version of SQL express with sp3 and attempted to install with no successes,
adjusting the MSDTC tab to allow remote clients, remote admin etc… and adding
a Domain file to the HKEY registry. All attempts were unsuccessful in fixing
the issue.
Can anyone please offer a fix or a work around that will allow me to
complete the install? This problem is becoming extremely time consuming and
frustrating.
Thank and have a great night.
