Outlook for CRM "Missing"

Is this known behavior? I can install Outlook for CRM in
CRM 1.2 just fine and it works FOR THE USER IT WAS
INSTALLED UNDER. Any other user logs into the machine
and runs outlook and they get just the normal outlook2003
window. None of the CRM functions are there. What is up
with that? What about when people hop around to
different workstations and when workstations are shared.

The client install is login specific. There is no roaming
functionality with the current version. You can only have
one install per machine. The installation is bound to the
system OS and not a specific profile, so the installation
will only work for the user with the original installation.

Apparently there is rumor that this may change with future
versions, but it is a current limitation.

Sorry.

So just have a multi-boot or VPC to allow for multiple installations, if its
a problem. Its no great surprise probably more to do with one instance of
MSDE to replicate with SQL than anything else.
