Upgrade from Office 2003 to Office 2007 Proflight 5/13/2007 5:03:00 AM 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

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: 1) from Patrick Schmid Check the RTM Issues page linked below. There is a KB linked from it for your problem.

Re: Upgrade from Office 2003 to Office 2007 Proflight 5/13/2007 8:01:01 PM 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.
