2007 says won't upgrade from a prerelease version

[Neil Evans]

Hi, Trying to install Office 2007 upgrade. And I keep getting the message,
"unable to procede due to, does not support upgrading from a pre-release
version of the 2007 Office system. You must first uninstall any pre-release
versions.."

I have 2003, Does it see this as the pre-release. I have uninstalled and
re-installed another 2003 copy, and registered it. I have tried another
upgrade copy same result. Is there some download I can use or maybe
something needs deleting in the registry.

Any suggestions appreciated, thanks.

Is this Q related to your other post?

Have you uninstalled any trial versions?

Hi, Not related to my other post, and no evidence of trial versions installed
(looked in add/remove programs).

The trial version doesnt allways show up in Add/Remove - so some have
stated - though if installed would be in;
\Microsoft Office\Office12 folder

Right; Useful links, I found Office Install 2007 (Beta) on my pc. How or
when it was installed I don't know. But it appears to be doing the trick.
Wasn't related to the 2003 as I thought.

Thanks for your help DL
