Office 2007 has been released but...

I do not see BCM as available for download on the trial page yet. That means that new trial customers can't try BCM. Those of you who are MSDN subscribers will find full production releases on your MSDN site.

Office Accounting 2007 Express will integrate with production release of BCM and so will Office Accounting 2007 Professional.

Be advised that beta is over, and these instructions are for existing Beta customers who need the B2TR links

You will want to download Office 2007 Professional Plus, which includes Outlook 2007 from here:

http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview - this link is no longer valid.

You will be charged $1.50 per download. I do not believe you need to bother downloading BCM-EN.exe, so save the $1.50 *smile* since it won't install on B2TR anyway.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7BC78C14-7143-41D9-84A9-BD628DB7B6A0 - beta of BCM Mobile for WM 5.0 if you want it

Don't forget to also get Office 2007 B2TR from here and install it first before you do anything with BCM from here:

Note that Office B2TR will not install unless you first install the original Office 2007 Beta 2 release that you were charged for.

Once you install the original office 2007 beta, I recommend that you also open each of its aplpications at least once to complete the initialization process.

What is B2TR? Beta 2, Technical Refresh. Why do you want it? The performance increase is very noticeable and lots of bugs were addressed.

Incidently, there has been a Technical Refresh of Small Business Accounting 2007. Those of you who are in that Beta program have a special link available.
