how to reinstall Business Contact Manager

[Guest]

I have the beta version of Office 2007 Professional, which appears to work
fine except for the following.

When I open Outlook, I get this dialogue, "Business Contact Manager for
Outlook only works with the Microsoft Office Suite that it was packaged with.
Please install the appropriate software and retry." I click OK and then it
goes away and I can continue using Outlook to send and receive email and
calendar events and such.

How do I reinstall only BCM? Is that even possible?

Thank you very much.

My personal advice, if you intend to purchase Office 2007 when it is released in a couple of weeks at retail, remove the Beta and install a 60 day trial version of the Office suite that you intend to purchase. You will get rid of the beta bugginess and have a fully functional Office version until you decide to purchase.

Thank you for your advice but will you please take a shot at answering the
same question but with these revised facts. Apparently, what I have
installed is the Trial version not the Beta version as I incorrectly assumed.
So when I mentioned in my first email that everything worked properly at one
time, it was when I was using the Beta version with Business Contact Manager.
When I installed the Trial version, I purposely installed Outlook without
installing Business Contact Manager. Can I now reinstall just the BCM
portion of the Trial version so the dialogue box will go away everytime I
open Outlook?

Thank you again.

Just and FYI, after installing the full version I needed to repair Business
Contact Manager but only had the remove option in add and remove programs. I
had to expand the setup files and then run mssmlbiz.msi, I then had the
repair option and it repaired my problems
