Upgrade from Office 2003 to Office 2007

[Proflight]

I have been unable to upgrade.

I originally had the Office 2007 Trial, and attempted to install a retail
Upgrade package over it to conver my Office 2003.

I consistently received a message about 1/3rd of the way in telling me that
installation did not complete successfully. So I tried uninstalling the
Trial. About 1/3rd of the way through, I got a message stating that it did
not uninstall successfully.

So I removed the Trial through the Shared items, the Program Files and the
Installation Files tool.

Now install tells me that I do not have a qualifying version from which to
upgrade, even though I have pointed it to the Microsoft Office (including the
Office11) directory, and inserted the Office 2003 CD from the original
install.

Any suggestions? I really need to get this going again... the trial worked
out great, and now I just want to install the software.

Thanks,

Tony

You should have uninstalled the Beta first. Here are some message I saved
before I uninstalled Beta. I was lucky in that all went well but there are
some useful tips in these messages:

The thing is... it wasn't the 'beta'... it was the TRIAL version. I'll look
through what you've offered, but I'm moving from 2003 to 2007 through the
TRIAL version, and never had the beta on my system.
