Outlook 2003 and BCM

[Janie Sawyer]

I have the Beta 2 which I refreshed this morning, carefully following all
the instructions from the MS site. All that I want to install is Outlook &
BCM. BCM shows up in the Add-Remove Programs and on my C: drive but not in
Outlook 2003, which did install. I did not download Visio and did not
install the rest of Office 2003, only Outlook & BCM.

From Start, All Programs, Microsoft Office, I see where I also got Office
Tools, InfoPath and Publisher as a bonus. Do I have to install all of
Office 11 to get Outlook & BCM to work correctly? Thanks for help.

I removed all of Office 11 Beta 2 including OL & BCM. I never created any
Business Contacts or Accounts because of problems I was having. As of this
morning I was using Office 2000 only. Then I saw that the refresh for Beta 2
became available. Here is what I did, in this order: 1. Reinstalled MS
Office 11 Beta 2 for Outlook only. I did not reinstall any other parts of
Office. 2. Downloaded the refresh for Outlook which gave me other programs I
mentioned in my last message. 3. Then I installed the refresh. I can see BCM
on both the Add or Remove Programs dialogue box but it is not yet a part of
Outlook 2003. BCM did become a part of Outlook when I originally installed
it from the Beta 2 Kit and I think that is how it should be configured now.
Please tell me how to make it once again become a part of Outlook 2003.
Thanks.

You need to download and install the separate BCM Beta 2 Refresh program. It's not included in the overall Office 2003 B2R download.
