I'm trying to upgrade my Windows XP with Vista Beta 2.
I start the setup.exe program, and it starts fine, and gets to the point
where it asks me for my product key.
I enter my "Ultimate edition product key".
I enter the product key, and it switches to the next page (verify license
dialog).
If I click "accept", or just wait a minute, suddenly I'll get a dialog from
the "Microsoft C++ Runtime" telling me the application (setup) has failed.
Here's the actual message:
"Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library - Runtime Error! The application has
requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the
application's support team for more information."
If instead I enter a "home basic" product key, I don't get a crash, but the
next dialog in setup tells me that you can't upgrade XP pro to home basic.
So I'd guess it has started looking at the system in preperation for the
upgrade, but something goes wrong?
The system has plenty of available resources (4gb memory, 250 GB free on C:,
etc).
