Upgrade to full Office 2007 from Beta

[keywest540]

I am trying to install full version of office pro 2007 from beta and it won't
allow me. Error message: Setup is unable to proceed due to the following
error(s): the 2007 Microsoft office system doesn not support upgrade from a
pre-release version of the 2007 MS office system. You must first uninstall
any pre-release versions of 2007 Microsoft Office system products and
associated technologies."

I have uninstalled all versions and applications of Microsoft office
products and I am still get the same error message. Anyone have any
suggestions?

The beta is dead.

In addition to what JoAnn has said, you cannot use an upgrade version of
Office to install from a beta as the beta is not a qualifying product. You
would need the full version.

Also, please see this article for help with uninstalling the beta (wow -
that beta ended almost 2 years ago!):
