Failure to install BCM for outlook 2007

[Elias A]

I have WinXP pro installed and bought Office 2007 Small business with
Business contact Manager.
While trying to install BCM it fails to install SQL Server 2005 Express and
consequently fails to install BCM. The error number I am geting in relative
log is 1605.

Any suggestion will be appreciated

Thanks and regards

My advice, download the latest Sql Server 2005 from microsoft.com and
try installing that. Running the standalone package will use the full
setup UI, and that should give you more feedback on why it won't
install. Sql Server 2005 is also on the CD (in sse\sqlexpr.exe, I
believe), so you could try that one first, and see if it gives a
better error when rn by itself.

Once Sql is installed, rerun the BCM setup, and it'll ask the sql
that's already installed to create an instance for BCM.
