OK I broke down and bought Vista Business to test here at home.
Spent about an hour removing programs that I don't use that often,
taking some backups and defragging. All set to go. I put the DVD in
the drive and run setup. Decided to try an upgrade just for SAG's.
Everything seemed to be rolling along until I got to the very last
step, completing the upgrade. It ran until it got to 49% then sat there
for about 30 minutes. A dialog box with the title bar of
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library pops up. the error message read
Program c:\Windows\system32\oobe\setup.exe
This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an
unusual way.
Please contact applications support team for more information.
Even though I had disabled my spyware and antivirus programs I
thought OK maybe I should have uninstalled them. So I uninstalled both
and tried again. Same result.
I will say that Vista did restore my old operating system without a
problem but I restored my image anyway. Just in case.
Any ideas on this one? I haven't tried a clean install yet. I was hoping
to avoid that.
