Hi when I try to install Vista Beta2, I get that the upgrade feature is
disabled and I can do a clean install. Any help would be appreciated.
 
Hey Jeff,
I've been trying for 3 hours to install Vista on my laptop. I found this
worked on mine when I had the same message.
Go to control panel
open add/remove software
on the left of this screen click on add windows...
and wait, it looks for the cd or download and runs on mine from there.

Just be aware that upgrades of vista can be flaky. In fact, of the six
various upgrades tried, none went to completion. Also, any incompatabilities
(software/drivers) you have, regardless of whether you uninstall them first,
will upset the installation of Vista. I have successfully done so by
disabling the driver detection program, but that's another story.
 
Hey Jeff

Mine worked after i deleted files and got Vista some 9GB free disk space.
Try it.
