I think perhaps this has to do with BCM???? Both Small Business Accounting
2006 and BCM are on Disc 2...so when I get a message that 'another version is
already installed,' I think it's looking at BCM. Besides, when I insert Disc
1, it only has the standard Office 2003 products on it, so it tries to do the
Add Feature/Repair/Uninstall thing.
So, I guess the new question is: Should I uninstall BCM (and obviously
backup my database) before I try to install SBA 2006? Anyone had any luck
with that?
Thanks again!
