Upgrading from XP Pro 64-bit Trial

Question

Sign in to vote

I purchased a digital update of Windows Vista Premium upgrade and the download won't load. I am useing a trial version of Windows XP 64-bit.

I first used the digital locker a few times and it would stop at 99 percent and give a validation error. I figured it the locker was having a problem so i manual downloaded the three files through my internet browser. They downloaded fine without problems, but when I tried to run the Vista setup I ran into another error:

0x8007000D Windows was unable to create a required installation folder.

Anyone else have this problem? I was wondering if it was because I had the trial version but a review of the software said that's how they upgraded it.

Hello SDBmania,

These forums are for the support of Windows Genuine Advantage Validation issues. You post does not appear to be Vista Activation or Validation related and such is off-topic (as well as outside my area of knowledge).

I suggest reposting your question to one of the Vista Newsgroups at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=42486 or go to http://support.microsoft.com for additional support options. (Vista Support usually supports Install/Upgrade issues at no cost)

There is also some upgrade XP -> Vista information here:
