It is all very well to say uninstall the earlier version of outlook, but
what if you no longer have the CD ROM and it is Outlook 2000. I have wasted
countless hours trying to get rid of Outlook 2000 in order to install Outlook
2007. Without success I might add.

I have to say that it is this level of interconnectedness that drives
everyone nutsand costs America a lot of wasted time. It seems the people
putting these things together only ever test with the latest and greatest and
a perfect situation. Most of us out in the field have less than perfect
situations and a casual "oh uninstall the prior outlook" is less than helpful.

Have I seen correctly that the retail version will overwrite the older
versions for you?

Why on earth can you not have two revs of outlook on the same machine? MS
makes life oh so difficult.
