You're right- it says "upgrade" on the box. Whoops!
Thanks for your help!!

Sounds like you bought the "upgrade" version and
Microsoft can't find a
qualifying product on your computer to upgrade from.
You will need to take
back the software and buy the "full" package.

I bought the Power Point software and can't get it
installed. After I enter my user name and product key
number, I get an error message saying "failed to
locate a
valid qualifying product. Select a drive where a
qualifying product can be found." I tried out various
drives but nothing seems to work. I'd appreciate any
help.
