Hello,
I am having some trouble upgrading a laptop running Windows Vista Business (Service Pack 2) to Windows 7.
I ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, and (after having to uninstall several "incompatible" programs) was given a green light to upgrade to Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate.
However, disappointingly, upon running the installation DVD and selecting the "Upgrade" route, I received the following show-stopping message:
You cannot upgrade from a staged build to a non-staged build
I tried three times, selecting Professional, then Enterprise, then Ultimate, but all three options produced the same result.
The installation image was downloaded from the MSDN subscribers site. The exact file name is as follows: en_windows_7_checked_build_dvd_x86_398742.iso
If you require detailed system information, just let me know, and I'll be happy to provide.
In the meantime, any advice/pointers would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Bill
