Office won't install

I'm trying to install Office 2007 on to my PC but it won't install due to it not being to upgrade from Prelease forms. I unstalled those a long time ago and yet it syays I still have them. With Revo Uninstaller nothing is there, but when I go to add/remove programs it has these language packs and yet no uninstall feature

Help please.

If you can change the directory to which it installs, try doing that. Dunno why it would try to upgrade, but usually if there is an upgrade option there is also a 'create secondary install' or something like that for an option.

Apparently someone else had had this problem, and he troubleshot it on his site. Sounds like it would be some unique things that you would have installed, so I'm not sure if the top part would help much. Read further down and it should show you where the registry keys are that may need to be removed.

I some of those things he recomended and still doesn't work. I get the opposite condition of him, the file populate the Add/Remove list but it's not on the my uninstall program I downloaded. I opened up regedit aswell and I can't seem to find the files he says there are, but I did delete the office list.
