Remove corrupted program

[DRJET]

I tried to remove Office 2007 Beta. Add/Remove says it is there ocupying
680MB. Remove option says it cannot find it. Says version number
12.0.4017.1006. Also says system corrupted, reload CD. I got this from
Microsoft web site, do not have a CD. I cannot install my new Office 2007
from CD since it says
already installed. Catch 22. Help!

one. Please answer my question somewhere!

Please, if you can be clearer on "Also says system corrupted, reload CD."

When does this message occur, and is it referring to XP or to Office?

If it's to XP, you need to find that CD or the restore media. And you
need to back up your files first, if you haven't already done so.

Here are specifics. When I start the 2007 install CD, I get this message:
Setup is unable to proceed due to the following error(s):
The 2007 Microsoft Office system does not support upgrading from a
prerelease version of the 2007 Microsoft Office system. You must first
uninstall any prerelease versions of the 2007 Microsoft Office system
products and associated technologies.
Correct the issue(s) listed above and re-run setup.

When I select Add/Remove programs, the Professional Plus 2007 (Beta) is
listed as: Size 680.00MB Used Frequently. When I select Change, I get this
message:
This product installation has been corrupted. Run setup again from the CD,
DVD. or other original installation source.

I do not have an install CD, since this was installed directly from the
Microsoft internet site.

When I select Remove, I get this message:
Setup could not find any available products to install. Please contact your
system administrator.

This is my home system I do not have an administrator.

I suspect that there is some file that needs to be changed or removed. Do
you know how either the Install or Change/Remove programs detect an error?
