Default Word 2007 Will not Update "Set Associations" to open doc. and docx

just installed office 2007. Previosly had 2003.. I went into "set
associations" to update the program used to open "Doc" and "docx" however it
would not update.
I go into browse and select the following path:

Path: programfiles/microsoft office/office12/winword and I hit open. The
"set associations" window did not update for this application.. It appears it
does not like "winword"; however, this is the only word application that I
can see in the office 12 folder. I cannot find a "winword.exe application.

In addition when I try to open a newly created office document it cannot
find a program to open and I go through the same "browse" procedure and
nothing is updated. How can I get Microsoft word 2007 into "set Associations
" as the default program to open .doc and docx

Have I not selected the correct program... I now have all my .doc files
which I cannot open.
