Article ID: 321384 - Last Review: January 9, 2006 - Revision: 2.1 MacOFFX: Cannot Install Upgrade Version of Office v. X for Mac When Office 4.2 Is InstalledThis article was previously published under Q321384 SYMPTOMS
When you try to upgrade to Microsoft Office v. X for Mac, you may receive a message similar to the following:
Upgrade Verification This software is an upgrade to an earlier version of the software. To continue installation, click Browse, and then select the folder that contains the earlier version of the software (Microsoft Office 2001 folder, for example). The folder can be located on either your computer or the CD-ROM from which you originally installed the earlier version of the software. For information about which software you can upgrade, see Installation Read Me.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because Office 4.2 programs are not eligible for upgrade to Office v. X for Mac. You cannot install the upgrade version of Office v. X for Mac unless a qualifying Office product is already installed on your computer.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, you must obtain the full version of Office v. X for Mac or obtain a qualifying product. For more information about your upgrade eligibility, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
