I am an Action Pack subscriber and now that my Office 2007 beta period is
over, I decided that I would grab hold of my Vista and Office release
versions and get it all over with. I realize that I can NOT 'upgrade' in
the traditional sense since the RC2 was Vista Ultimate and the Action Pack
distributes Vista Business. Here is what I've done:
1. I've done my backup and a Windows Easy Transfer to my external hard
drive.
2. I put the Vista DVD in and started away.
3. I put in the Product Key and let it download updates.
4. I left it.
When I came back, there was an error that said it couldn't be installed, it
restored my previous version and I should run the compatibility program.
I've RUN the compatibility program and I am RUNNING Vista (albeit a beta
version).
Questions:
1. Since this is a 'clean install', I don't have to uninstall anything to
make it work, do I?
2. Should I have uninstalled all my peripherals (printer, webcam, external
hard drive, etc.)?
3. Is there a chance that they did something between RC2 and release that
makes me now not compatible?
Any answers, suggestions, gut feelings, etc. are GREATLY appreciated!!! =)
Thanks,
Jeff
