Yeah, I did put the H & S disk in when prompted, and did point to the disk
drive. I kept getting the message that kept telling me there was no
qualifying program there. Moot point now, though...

Thanks.

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.

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.
