Can't upgrade from Vista Basic to Enterprise

C

Cuzzi

I am trying to do a simple upgrade from Vista Basic to Vista Enterprise. I
have tried to do the install from within Vista and by booting up with the
DVD. However, I get the same message either way -

"Upgrade has been disabled. You cannot upgrade from Windows Vista Home
Basic to Windows Vista Enterprise. You can upgrade to Windows Vista Home
Basic, Windows Vista Home Premium, Windows Vista Business, Windows Vista
Ultimate."

I have researched this endlessly and can't find any answers. I would prefer
not to do a clean install. Any help is appreciated.

Windows Vista Enterprise Edition can only be clean installed.
