100% removal of Office 2008 Home and Studentto allow Business Edition upgrade?

[gone2utah]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel Email Client: Exchange Forgive the cross posting...

I've searched around but I am clearly missing something here.

I purchased Office 2008 Home and Student and started at a new company that requires me to update to Office 2008 Business Edition (for Exchange).

I uninstalled Office 2008 and tried a reinstall with the new CD and no good.

I tried deleting EVERYTHING I could find (In Library/Preferences etc.) That had Office 2008 listed and still when I install it tells me (even though I use the new product key) that I have Home and Student.

What am I doing wrong? From what I can tell, Home and Student and BE are basically the same binaries and the Product Key tells the install what edition you are using.

Any ideas folks?

Thanks!
