Did you install the CDO and MAPI download from Microsoft's site?
Also, did you get any errors on the initial install screen, marked by ! marks?

Using the following guidance from Anderson I made it all the way to Active Directory Settings:
Install 2k3

Install Mapi

Install Office 2k7

Install ZCB

Goto Control Panel - Mail - create BlackberryServer / BlackberryManager

Set BlackberryServer as the default and open Outlook to get GAL
Install BES

After SRP remove the local address book, leave the GAL address book.

People who do not have BES yet cant test out 4.1. RIM says 4.x is out of cycle so 1 license is 2500 for a what if...
Hurry up!

I created 2 new users with mail accountsÃ‚â€“ blackberryserver and blackberrymanager
Created 2 new mail profiles on the server with zimbra collaboration suite Ã‚â€“ blackberryserver and blackberrymanager
Tried to install Exchange Mapi/CDO Ã‚â€“ received an error message- Ã‚â€œcannot be installed with outlook
Ran the BES installation again Ã‚â€“ receive the same MAPI error

I managed to get it completely installed
It's even supposedly syncing my GAL, as blackberry server configuration sees it in the mapi profile configuration.
Only issue is when I try to add a user it doesn't work -- I'm assuming its because my GAL isn't synced, but its not very big. If I stop the BB controller service and open outlook I can navigate to the GAL -- but that doesn't necessarily mean it's sync'd to the computer.
I'll give it a little bit and let you guys know my findings tomorrow.
