  • Hi Fritz,

    Installation cannot detect .net framework because Windows 7 have .net 3.5 which is backward compatible with 2.0 which you need. Can try uninstallation .net 3.5 + installation 2.0 + installation ms crm outlook client and when it's working upgrade to .net 3.5 should be working.#
    Other thing is outlook which need to be done 32bit (even MSCRM 4.0 Outlook client not support 64bit Outlook).

    Summary - it may work (after few tricks) but definitelly will be causing a lot of problems.

  • Hello,

    I had the same problem installing CRM 3.0 and your solution has an installation successfully.
    Thank you.

    However, when you start Outlook, you can not load the component CRM. I have the two following error messages:

    "Problem communicating with the Microsoft CRM server. The server may be unavailable.
    Again later. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator. "

    and

    "An error occurred while downloading the Microsoft CRM functionality.
    Try restarting Microsoft Outlook.
    If the error persists, contact your system administrator. "

    Can you help me?

    Thank you for your help.
    Good day.

    Kevin
