Hi, I am trying to install business contact manager on top of my Office 2003
(MSDN download which originally had no BCM).
I installed Office 2003 complete....everything on it....
if I double click on setup.exe I get the following message
"version detection failed for C:\bcm\dotnetfx.exe. Insure that the installer
exists at the specified location.
Message returned: The specified image file did not contain a resource
section."
(I have WinXP sp1 with abosultely all the patched and updates
installed...including dotnet framework service packs...i tried reinstalling
those first, but got the same error)
The setup.ini file has the following content
------------------
[Bootstrap]
Msi=MSBCM.msi
ReqMem=128
ReqCPU=400
'ReqOutlookBuild=11.0.4920.2
'LanguageDirectory=enu
'ProductName=Microsoft Business Contacts Manager
'DialogText=
'CaptionText=
'ErrorCaptionText=
'FxInstallerPath=c:
----------------------
so I tried changing 'FxInstallerPath=c:
to an actual path where dotnetfx can be found (by first removing the ' and
then placing the path)
so then the error was the same except that instead of saying "version
detection failed for C:\bcm\dotnetfx.exe" it replaced the
c:\bcm\dotnetfx.exe with the new path...so no good there
then I tried installing by double clicking on
msbcm.msi
this took me to the standard install dialogs...I clicked next a couple of
times and was on my way....until the very end.....when the installer goes
into the "starting services" section I get the following error
"Error 1721. There is a problem with this windows installer package. A
program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your
support personnel or package vendor"
after I click ok on that message it rolls back and uninstalls everything.
I read something about MSDE being required for BCM (I dont know if its true)
so I installed MSDE from the office 2003 cd.
any ideas what this can be?
thanks,
