SYMPTOMS
When you try to install Microsoft Office Small Business Accounting 2006, you receive the following error message:

Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel.



CAUSE
This problem occurs if the Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 with Business Contact Manager Update is installed.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, remove the Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 with Business Contact Manager Update, and then install Small Business Accounting. To do this, follow these steps:


 * 1) Click Start, click Run, type Appwiz.cpl, and then click OK.
 * 2) In the Add or Remove Programs dialog box, click Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 with Business Contact Manager Update, and then click Remove.
 * 3) Insert the Small Business Accounting installation CD into the CD drive, and then install Small Business Accounting.

Note The Small Business Accounting 2006 Trial CD installs both Business Contact Manager Update and Small Business Accounting. When you start Outlook, the Business Contact Manager Startup Wizard appears. If you have an existing Business Contact Manager database, click the Select a database option, type the name of the computer where the database is stored in the Computer name box, and then click Connect.

Note Do not remove Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MICROSOFTSMLBIZ).
