I can't find outlook 2007

[Mark-NotHappyRightNow]

I was using a trial of office 2003 on my new notebook and it expired today. I
want to decide whether to buy 2003 or 2007 so I installed the trial office
2007 standard. Now I can't get Outlook 2007 to show up in my computer at all.
Help!

I am having the EXACT same problem. I now have no Outlook and I have lost my
entire calendar, emails, etc. We run a medical practice, so this is really
creating problems with scheduling, etc. This needs to fixed FAST.

Basic research through the Outlook/Office news groups would have given you the answer in the time it took you each to post your questions. Uninstall all prior versions of Outlook and then re-run setup using a custom installation. Make Outlook available.

Thanks for your rather snotty reply. I have my Outlook working now. I do
wonder why MS doesn't hint that you need to use a "custom" installation to
get one of the most important components of Office 2007 Standard Edition...
