2007 Office Suites Upgrade
Gkemper 12/2/2008 8:19:02 PM
I recently bought a new laptop and also purchased 2007 Microsoft Office Small
Business Upgrade that has all the programs I need as the trial software that
was included with the computer was not adequate. When loading it says it
cannot find .ww\SMBrWW.cab and then cancels the installation. Do I first
need to purchase one of the Office programs, i.e. Word, prior to installing
the Upgrade that also incudes Word?

You can't upgrade a trial. You need a full version.

You need a qualifying application in order install the 2007 SBE and a trial
is not a qualifying application.
You also need to uninstall any trial version of Office, and the activation
assistant ,then reboot, prior to installing any Office version from CD

I have a full version of MS Office Standard edition 2003 from my old laptop.
I uninstalled the trial version and installed this software hoping I could
then install my 2007 upgrade. Same error message came up. The new version
set up cannot find Smallbusinessr.WW\SMBr.WW.cab.
