    Trying to install outlook 2010 on an sbs2011 server (has all the relevant service packs)

    It gets to the end of the install then says 'Outlook 2010 encountered and error during setup'

    Gives no error code only option is click on close

    There was a previous trial copy of office professional plus on the machine which has been removed

    We have have checked the registry

    Very annoying

    Anyone got aclue what could be causing this

    Hi
      I check outlook 2010 System requirements.
      http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee624351.aspx#section2
      

    Supports only the 32-bit edition of Office 2010: Windows XP with Service Pack (SP) 3, Windows Server 2003 SP2, MSXML 6.0.

    Supports both 32-bit or 64-bit editions of Office 2010: Windows Vista with SP1, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Terminal Server, Windows on Windows (WOW) (which allows installing 32-bit versions of Office 2010 on 64-bit operating systems, excluding Windows Server 2003 64-bit and Windows XP 64-bit).
      What is SBS 2011 os version ?

    I recommend that you post your question to the Outlook forum or the SBS forum.

    I would also reconsider whether you need or should even install Outlook on the server.

    I wouldn't back up mailboxes.  Back up the Information Store.  Mailbox backup is a time-consuming tape-wasting feature that you really shouldn't need.

    Hi
       You can read this SBS case.

           You can read IbanezWiz's post.
       I will get blasted for this but I have Outlook 2010 installed on SBS 2011 with five different email accounts added to it. 
       SBS 2011 support outlook 2010 which install on same server.
       It is outlook installation problem. You can post it to outlook forum. 
       Crowley has posted link.

    no we dont - everyone keeps saying you shouldnt put outlook 2010 on sbs 2011 server. but we have no choice.

    No one has come up with an explanation. there is nothing in the logs to indicate why it fails - just the simple error message which has no reference number
