having the hardest time connecting to Lotus Notes w/Outlook 2007

[Peter]

I cannot stand Lotus notes - my company is using it, on Domino 6.5. I
downloded the trial version of Office 2007, installed outlook and was pleased
to see that one of the included configurations is the outlook connector tool
(which you previously had to download if you were on office 2002/2003).
However I am not able to manually configure my server or connection - when
selecting "manually configure" and then selecting the Lotus Notes connector
tool the outlook wizard goes right to the finish screen - and the end result
is that I get a cannot connect/use when trying to access the Lotus Notes
folder in my outlook application.
Has anyone been successful in setting up outlook 2007 to connect to Lotus
and if so what did you do?

Are you using the connector mentioned here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290834 ?
The article says it is for Outlook 2007 but only mentions Outlook 2002 and
2003 - not sure if it is an error or not.

Hi Bill;
Yup - using that very service. Interesting twist on this since I wrote this
request. I uninstalled the connector and then uninstalled my trial 2007
products. Reinstalled my 2007 trial products (Outlook, Word, Excel and
Powerpoint as well as some shared tools) and ran the connector install tool
again.
The install wouldn't even run - said that MS Office wasn't even installed
and to reinstall Office 2003 or 2003 and then to run the install connector
application.
Ugh - any help is greatly appreciated!
