cxoffice only works on full versions, not upgrades

I tried Crossover Office 5 as soon as it was released. I have a copy of Works and the Upgrade to Office 2003. I started the installer and it got as far as asking for the upgraded app's CD, then balked.

I spoke to support, whose response was "we've not tested upgrades but it probably won't work. Can you use a full version of MS Office?".

Sorry, no I can't. I'm not shelling out another several hundred dollars, I'll just use VMWare instead. I'd quite happily have paid for this product but right now it simply doesn't do what I want (of which, letting MS Office install would be the first step).
