| Upgrading from Microsoft Works 9 to Microsoft Office Standard 2007 I have Works 9 installed on my system. I am trying to do the upgrade to Office Standard 2007. The installer says "Setup can't find a version of Microsoft Office on your computer". I have tried the Browse function to go to the Works program files on the Local Disk C:. And I have tried to Browse to Drive E: where I have inserted the Works install disk. Neither method works and I get the message "The path you have chosen does not point at a qualifying upgrade product. Click 'Retry' to try again or 'Cancel' to quit setup. Would appreciate any advice on what I might be doing wrong. Thanks      |

| Re: Upgrading from Microsoft Works 9 to Microsoft Office Standard I have the same issue, I like the utility solution, however I do not have the CD to insert after running the utility as my "works" software is part of a bundle installed on my new Hp's hard drive. What can I do to get my office Small Business upgrade to install?

| Re: Upgrading from Microsoft Works 9 to Microsoft Office Standard You can browse to the bundle but the Works updater is looking for the original .msi file which is not on the computer. Is there any other way of applying this update or any other way of updating Office? "Mary Sauer" wrote: > Are you saying you don't have Works installed? Did you get recovery disks?
