error code 0x80070017 with retail vista version

[Guest]

Hello,
i purchased the Windows Vista Home Premium upgrade version yesterday, I ran
the upgrade advior and everything passes. When I get to the actual installing
part it gives me a error code 0x80070017 at around 45%. I have ran a disc
cleanup, Disc defrag, searched blog after blog to find out what to do. , I
dont really feel I should pay Microsoft 59 dollars for a chat session to fix
it after i just spent 150 dollars for the upgrade. So here I am . Any
suggestions on how to fix or a push in the right direction would be greatly
appreciated. Please and thank you.
