I guess that i waste hours to get the upgrade 5384

[David Sherman]

I download the Vista Beta 2 to install over Vista 5308.

I tried to upgrade-- failure
that function has been disable.

I guess that the only way to upgrade this machine is to re-install
all my applications which I don't really want to do.

Yes, that is the correct thing to do - clean install, especially for beta
software. Since unknown conflicts can happen from beta to beta installs that
will make it difficult and likely impossible to diagnose problems.

I guess that may be the case, but Microsoft should have disclosed
this. I rather know the conflicts then not know tehm.

I guess that I won't be install 5384.

Also I don't have 50 gigs of space to place the files

 

[Andre Da Costa [Extended64]]

The installation requires a minimum of 11.3 GBs free space, the OS takes up
about 8 GBs free space.
