Trouble adding PowerPoint to Office XP Small Biz

[Nolan]

I currently have Windows Me with Office XP Small Business
Edition....which means I do not have PowerPoint. I now
want to add Power Point without having to upgrade to
Windows XP, upgrade to Office 2003, etc., so I went out
and bought the Office XP Professional Upgrade (2002) in
the hopes that I could add Power Point and Access.
Unfortunately, I am getting the "Cannot find qualifying
product" error during setup. I'm assuming that this is
because I do not have a PREVIOUS version of Office XP. Am
I right? So, my questions are:
1) Am I stuck with $300 down the tubes (Best Buy won't
take a return on opened software)
2) What's the easiest way to add PowerPoint to my PC?

No it's because you don't have a previous version of Office - there's no
such thing as a "previous version of Office XP".

Nope. See above.

Yep. Your own fault for not researching first.

2) What's the easiest way to add PowerPoint to my PC?

Buy PowerPoint full licence.
