Outlook 2007 on two partitions

[pmme]

I have Outlook 2007 installed on drive C. I want to install it o
another partition for testing some pst files, etc. When I pu
installation disk in however, setup.exe recognizes I have it installe
and only offers to "change your installation of Office Outlook 2007"
Only offers to add or remove feature, repair or remove.

Is there a way I can "force" the installation on another partition

Is there a way I can "force" the installation on another partition?

Is this another operating system partition or simply another partition acting
as a logical disk? If the former, there's no way that the installation in the
second partition can know about the installation on the first partition. If
the latter, you'll have to completely uninstall it from the first partition.
Keep in mind that even if you install it on another drive, some of it will
still be installed on C.

Brian I am not sure how to answer your partition question. The compute
came with two partitions, one C and D, called the recovery partition
(It still holds recovery data but I have since switched from Vista t
7). But again, my real problem is that when I put the Outloo
installation disk in my system, it only offers me the option t
"repair" or "remove" Outlook. How can I get an option to install o
Drive D

Since you've changed operating systems, simply reformat drive D and you'll be
able to use it for storing things. If it has not been initialized as a drive,
then use Disk Management to format it as a drive and make it available. Then
specify some path on that disk for the location in which you want Outlook to
be installed during setup. You'll get the option. Keep in mind that it's not
really a separate disk drive, merely a partition on the existing drive and if
one partition fails, they both will.
