You cannot upgrade a Microsoft Works suite to a 2007 Office suite or program

SYMPTOMS

When you try to upgrade a Microsoft Works suite to a 2007 Microsoft Office suite or program, the 2007 Office suite or program is not installed.

CAUSE

This problem occurs if Microsoft Works is not installed in the %programfiles%\Microsoft Works folder. By default, the Compliance Checking program (CCP) searches the %programfiles%\Microsoft Works folder for versions of Microsoft Works that can be upgraded to a 2007 Office suite.

MORE INFORMATION

For a decreased price, Microsoft offers the option to upgrade from certain products that qualify. The CCP is run to verify that a product qualifies for an upgrade to a 2007 Office suite or program. After the product is verified, the Setup program will start.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
