Installation Problems

[mrl]

I am attempting to install the Office Standard 2007 upgrade on my laptop. I
get a message that states prior version of Office not detected. I have the
option to browse for programs that will allow the upgrade installation. I
have Works 9.0 on my laptop which is supposed to allow the Upgrade
installation. I am not able to find the appropriate works program on browsing
to allow the upgrade installation. How do I identify the Works program so I
can install the Office upgrade?

Ensure Works is updated, I'm pretty sure there was an earlier post that
stated Works needed to be updated to fix this problem

There is an utility that you need to install for you to be able to use Works 9.0
as an upgrade.
Error message when you try to upgrade Works 9 or Works SE 9 to an upgrade
version of a 2007 Office suite
