I am trying to install SBA on my local machine, where I have been running and
using BCM for a while. The SBA install will not work becasue it says I
already have components installed and must remove them first. I recall this
issue on a test machine - where I had to uninstall BCM then install SBA then
reinstall BCM.

The issue is I have lots of BCM information I don't want to mess up! Is
there another way to get SBA installed on a mahcine with an existing BCM
installation?

Which versions of products are you talking about?

I wouldn't be so sure that it's complaining about BCM being already
installed.

Take a backup of BCM database (Business Tools -> Manage Database -> Backup
Database) before you do anything.

BCM says it is SP2 but I am 99% sure it is SP3 (MS Update does not want to
update it).

The SBA I am trying to install is off "Microsoft Samll Business Management
Edition 2006" disc - which looks like only SP1.

The install will not even go forawrd after reaching the message where it
says components are alredy installed - just exists.

The BCM and SBA SPs have to match.

Fixed it by downloading a new copy of SBA (Trialware) and installed that.
The installer found the existing veriosn of BCM and played nice.
