microsoft business contact manager professional plus 2010 wont install. I just recieved it today as part of the office 2010 pro plus suite and will not install. Any ideas welcome.
thank you in advance

Its bombing because the .exe file is looking for either an OS in 32/64 bit environment. So depending on what version your Windows 7 operating system you have installed on your pc will determine which version of Business Contact you need.

its windows 7 professional mate and its 32bit dell inspiron 1545. I also unistalled office 2007 enterprise if that helps you in anyway.

I understand, but is the version of business manager a 64 bit program, trying to run on a 32 bit windows 7 platform?
When Office Beta 2010 was released as a new 64 bit version it would not run with an exisiting 32 bit version.

could someone tell me in detail what this person has done i know how to copy a disc to my documents but this person has done the following and worked for them. "
This helped me. I simply copied the entire disc to a BCM folder on a temp drive. Then I edited the setup.ini file and changed the entry to "Combo3264=1".
My student edition copy of BCM was then able to install 32bit with my 32bit Office Pro Plus intallation."
