Default Upgrading from MS Works

I bought an upgrade version of Small Business Suite. It says it will upgrade
MS Works 6-10 and I have Works 9. The upgrade does not locate an upgradeable
program when I try to load it. Is there something I am missing? Will an
upgrade version not work to upgrade MS Works?

Default Upgrading from MS Works

This is exactly my problem also but in Finnish version.
So I try to upgrade from Finnish Works 9 SE to Finnish Office 2007
Professional...
And not the patch KB943290_fi-FI.exe nor the patch KB943290_en-US.exe
doesn't work.

What to do?
