[Guest]

I has buy "Microsoft® Windows Vista Ultimate UPGRADE Download" from Circuit
City
it have 3 files
boot.wim
install.wim
X13-49120.exe
Could me create a boot DVD install Vista from dos?

No, those files will not create a bootable DVD, even if they did, the
upgrade MUST be installed from within an activated XP installation.

probably should ask Circuit City what to do with those files.

Maybe this would help. Did you burn a DVD with the files?

Maybe this will help also, if you haven't found it.
