Premium Upgrade to Ultimate

The upgrade process gets to the very end then it cannot install a program,
automatically rollbacks to Vista Premium. Very frustrating. I've done this
three times and three times the result is the same. Any ideas?

(If setup becomes non-responsive or does not complete), do a Cold Boot
(reset the machine) > Start the computer, when the Windows Boot Manager is
displayed, select Windows Setup press F8 on your keyboard and setup should
continue.

If you are upgrading/clean install, as noted, disable any external or USB
based devices you might have attached to the computer. Also, disable any
Security software before launching setup and ensure that you meet the
minimum system requirements for Windows Vista.

Turn Off Serial Key Devices: Windows Vista does not support Serial Key
devices. If you are upgrading and you currently use Serial Keys with an
alternative input device, you must turn off Serial Keys and install another
input option before the upgrade. To turn off Serial Keys in Windows XP, open
Accessibility Options in Control Panel. For more information, go to the
Microsoft Accessibility website (http://www.microsoft.com/enable).

Hi SailorDude,

You might consider doing a clean install with the upgrade version of
Ultimate. Just type in the product key for the Ultimate version. This
tutorial will show you how to do a clean install with a Upgrade version
of Vista.
