Beta2 hangs Businees Contact Manager

hi,
I installed .Net Framework Redistributable 2.0 on a machine that has
Business Contact Manager (part of Microsoft Office 2003 Small Business and
Professional Editions)

After installing the framework, BCM wont work, it comes up with an error and
hangs.

*****
Event Type; bcm, P1:mapi, P2: typeinitialzationexception
******

It happened twice and i had to do system restore to uninstall the
framework. Both being MS products, we didnt expect them to interfere with
each other.
If it is a bug in Beta2 then MS would need to look at it before someone else
faces the same problem.

Installing beta software on a production machine is a high risk maneuver,
and not recommended unless you accept .
Consider testing beta software on a dedicated test PC, in a separate
partition on a dual boot system or in Virtual PC to minimize the risks.
