Hi,

I just signed up for the MS Office Outlook 2007 Beta 2 program. After
getting my verification email, I was taken to a page with the available
programs to download. The only Outlook program on the list included Business
Contact Manager (Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 with Business Contact
Manager). So I downloaded it and proceeded to initiate installation. After
it extracted the files, I received the following error message:

"Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 (Beta) must be installed before you can
install Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager (Beta).
Install Outlook from CD 1, and then start this installation again."

All I have is the original downloaded file (BCM-EN, 241 MB.) I see no other
file for Outlook alone. I'm lost. Can someone please help?

Thanks in advance,
Rick

Outlook 2007 is part of Office 2007 Professional. That's what you need to download and install first.
