Can't install Office 2007 Enterprise

[scjconsulting]

I have a notebook that had both Office 2003 and Office 2007 Beta. I
unistalled the 2007 Beta and even uninstalled Office 2003. No Office
products were shown to be on my computer. I rebooted. I then tried to
install 2007 Enterprise. It gave me an error message: The 2007 Microsoft
Office system does not support upgrading from a prerelease version of the
2007 Microsoft Office System.....

I searched the system for Office 12 files and found about 200MB still on the
system. I deleted these and it still gives me the error.

I had installed 2007 Enterprise on another computer that had the beta, which
I uninstalled, and that installation worked fine.
What gives and what do I have to do?

I have also removed all references in the Registry to Office 12 and it still
gives me the error.

That had to be one of the most painful things I have ever done on a PC! I
must have deleted well over 100 registry entries!! You guys must have
developed a program to take care of that - like the Windows Cleanup that I
have used before.

I'm sure you have already heard this, but I would like to report a bug with
your Office 2007 Uninstall!!
