RC1 install fails

K

Kevin Arthur

When I first got the RC1 iso file, I burnt it to a DVD and installed it on
one of my two computers. This installation worked fine, so I tried it on
the other. The installation ran fine until it got to the "Completing
Installation" section. It seemed to skip this entirely, then rebooted into
Vista. The boot screen loaded, then the mouse appeared with the usual
"Windows Vista (TM) RC1 Evaluation Copy. Build 5600", the same as my on
other computer, over a black screen. However, before anything else
happened, the computer restarted. This repeated until I rolled back the
installation. I've tried this 3 times now, with the same result. Does
anyone know why this happens?

I did an upgrade to RC1 on Beta 2 August which was run from INSIDE the
existing Vista Beta 2.

Took a while but, eventually seems to work.

Funny windows generation but, customers will have to have something new to
think of paying for an upgrade.
