How to install Vista Ultimate 32-bit Version

I have the Retail Vista Ultimate Upgrade Version which inlucdes both the
32-bit and 64-bit Version.

Because of various incompatablity issues, I would rather install the 32-bit
version.

Everytime I install the software, I am not given a choice, and it installs
the 64-bit version. Even if I wipe the drive completely it installs the
64-bit version.

Any ideas??????????????

Use the 32-bit Vista DVD and not the 64-bit Vista DVD.
A "clean install" is required.

LOL, DUH, Thanks Carey!!! I just grabbed the first DVD I saw and didn't
bother to even look that it said 64-bit at the top, two re-installs and later
and countless hours, I knew I was missing something rather simple, I just
never imagined it to be that simple.

Thanks for the fast response!!!
