iWork update not installing on Lion

I got Lion today. One of the features I was most looking forward to was Auto-save and Versions. But then I learned you had to update iWork for these features to apply in those programs. So i went to the Apple update site and downloaded the iWork update. When I went to install it, however, it said:

"An eligible Keynote application was not found in the location /Applications/iWork '09."

I checked and Keynote is entirely up to date. So what's going on? I would really like to be able to use the new features as soon as possible. Thanks for any help!

Cheer,

I found the answer in another discussion. I had moved the iWork applications out of the iWork folder so I could acess them more quickly. However, the installer was looking for a folder called 'iWork '09', which no longer existed. I hope people can learn from my mistake!

I am still having problems installing the update. All programs are in their correct directories, have never been moved, yet I still get the "ineligible Keynote application was not found..."

What now?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Never mind, I figured it out. Turns out I had made an alias for Keynote and moved the native file to the new directory and not the alias. Time for new glasses, I think.
