It's retail.

But, ya know, in the meantime, I just installed the Home and Student
version and then easily upgraded to the Business version.

I'm still interested to know, however, just where the heck I should have
pointed the install program to find the darn thing!

Thanks.

Upgrade version or a OEM or Retail version

New notebook because old one crashed. I have my installation disks of
Office Small Business 2007 UPGRADE, which was installed on the old
notebook. Of course, I can't locate the disks for Office 2003, which I'd
upgraded from. And, of course, in the install process, Office 2007 is
telling me there's no version of Office on my computer so I can't
"upgrade."

I do, however, have the install disks for Office Home and Student 2007
(which is loaded on a different computer). According to the Office Small
Business Upgrade docs, that qualifies as a version eligible for upgrade.
When prompted to insert that disk during the Small Business upgrade, I'm
told to navigate to the "appropriate drive." But the install process
tells me the path I've chosen doesn't point to a qualifying upgradable
product.

I've tried pointing to lots of different locations on the underlying
disk but haven't hit the right one. Where should I point?

(I suppose I can install Home and Student and then upgrade from that
full install, but...)

Thanks,

You should have put the '07 H & S disk in the drive when asked for
qualifying product and pointed to the drive letter for the CD drive. The
installation program should have scanned the disk for the files it needed to
ensure qualification. Now that you installed the programs you probably will
be stuck with the non-commercial banner on Word, Excel and PowerPoint even
though it is Small Business.
