RC-1 Installation Termination

[Tom Ziegmann]

The fix for this issue will not be in RC1 but in builds after RC1 that are
on the RTM tree. I'm sorry it is not fixed in RC1, but please do download
and try installing both clean install and upgrade to see if the issue
repros.

Hey Tom,

This may be more of a philosophical discussion, but one would think that MS
would be reluctant to do a broad distribution of RC-1 with this type of
lingering bug. I think sending a product with this type of bug into the
market, even a non-GA product, to a wide audience will do more damage then
good to an already tarnished public image. This gets especially dicey when
you consider there is no clear means of sharing these types of problems with
MS.

Thanks,

Gary

Sorry for the dumb question Tom:
What is the RTM tree?

Thanks!

Hey Tom,

I'm not sure what MS did, but whatever it was appeared to work. I
downloaded the RC-1 distribution and it appeared to install just fine.

Thanks for all your effort with this.

Glad to hear it is working for you!

Thanks again for all your help on this Tom.
It appears that several folks
are interested in what you are able to find out.

Hello,

The bug report has been filed and all setup logs have been enclosed. As soon
as I know something I will let you all know.

I just downloaded the Vista 5728 release and am still getting the
"Windows installation encountered an error and cannot continue," on
an upgrade of XPSP2. I follows through the whole file copy part and
roughly through 55% of the 2nd phase. I did a verify on the dvd disc
and it checks out. I am not familiar enough with the upgrade process
to find and provide the necessary logs to assist in the
troubleshooting process.

Aside from this problem has any one else been able to complete an
upgrade after getting this error?

I'm trying ato upgrade the beta 2 to RC-1 also but the installation stops
after the compatibility tests. I uninstalled the software it said to but it
refuses to budge from the comp tests.
