	Grr, nothing.... installing using the *.sh command yields same results...
	Installed Crossover Pro 7.1.0 (amd64) deb file using GDebi... Now 
Outlook is connected and updating folders. I guess I'll run this way for 
now. Would've been nice to get IE7.
	Anybody try install Office Service Packs 1 & 2 on top of Office 2007 
installed in Pro 7.1.0?
