Outlook 2007 BCM - Win 7

[D.Sweet]

When trying to install outlook 2007 BCM on win 7 - the express version or SQL
5 tries to install and fails. Is there a work around for this or will BCM not
function yet on WIN 7? Outlook 2007 installed and is working fine through
exchange 2003.

There is a compatibility issue with SQL 2005 and Windows 7.

I was able to get this working by doing the following:
-Install SQL Server 2005 Express (separate from Outlook BCM).
-make sure you deselect the box in setup saying to start SQL after the
installation.
-Then apply SQL Server 2005 SP3.
-Then install Outlook 2007 BCM.
