business contact manager and Office 2013 cannot get it working

Hi, could somebody help me out with this issue?

 

I had Office Professional Plus 2010 and BCM 2010.

I have now Office Professional Plus 2013 32 bit on a Windows 7 64-bit system, and uninstalled 2010 (including BCM 2010).

Microsoft told me that BCM 2010 does not work with Outlook 2013. Now I found an application on the microsoft site to have that addressed:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36511

When I run the program it tells me that: "There are no products affected by this package installed on this system"

So my reaction was to install BCM 2010 again, and thereafter run the above mentioned program. Now I get the error message:  "Microsoft Outlook 2010 must be installed before you can install Business Contact Manager for Microsoft Outlook 2010. Install Outlook from CD 1, and start this installation again" (I have 2013). So I am caught in the middle.

 

Please tell me that I do NOT have to:

  1. Uninstall Office 2013
  2. Install Office 2010 including BCM
  3. Uninstall Office 2010 excluding BCM
  4. Install Office 2013
  5. Run the application which is in my link above.

There must be a simpler way I hope?

 

Best regards.
