Tip: Upgrade Advisor and WinSAT Aurora

[Andre Da Costa [Extended64]]

Some persons last week were having issues running the Upgrade Advisor BETA
for Windows Vista relating to a missing WinSat.exe. Open Command Prompt type
CD C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor, then type
"winsat.exe aurora"

You should then see the beautiful Aurora.

Or, just move the winsat.exe file into the System32 folder, then type in at
Run > winsat aurora
.... that's it )

i thought you wanted to see if your computer could run windows vista or is
this "aurora" the way of telling if your computer can run windows vista?

The Upgrade Advisor itself (which calls on winsat.exe) will tell you about
your system.

The aurora switch when run as Andre described from Command Prompt will give
you some beautiful eye candy
