Vista To 7 Upgrade Hangs At 62%


I've been having some difficulty getting the upgrade from Vista 64 to Windows 7 64 to happen. Twice I tried it and it hung at 40%, but then I uninstalled iTunes and updated my RAID drivers and it progressed further. Now it's hanging at 62%.

I've seen the article about 62% here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/975253, but my log files don't contain that information.

The logs contain a lot of information about not being able to get attributes for this or that directory, but it seems to get past those so it doesn't seem like that's the problem.

A zip of setupact.log and setuperr.log is here: http://tinyurl.com/yh8348h

When it was still getting stuck at 40%, I ran the setup advisor and it told me that iTunes should be uninstalled, and that there was an upgrade available to Steam. I uninstalled iTunes, but I seem to have the most recent Steam client available.

Upgrade From Vista Hangs At 86%
nstalling windows 7 RC as an upgrade to Vista 32 bit. During "Gathering files, settings and programs" the install hangs at 86%. The WindowsUpdate.log shows the following:

2009-09-06 10:35:30:867 1132 86c DnldMgr * Update is not allowed to download due to regulation.
2009-09-06 10:35:30:868 1132 86c DnldMgr Regulation: {7971F918-A847-4430-9279-4A52D1EFE18D} - Update BF40C891-B536-442F-A3DF-405D678924B8 is "PerUpdate" regulated and can NOT download. Sequence 5424 vs AcceptRate 500.

I tried the install last night and let it run through the night and it periodically displays the attempt and failure. When I say hang, the install is actually waiting at this point and is still attempting to continue, pending this step.

Any suggestions?

Upgrade From Vista Hangs At 62% Of Last Stage
i was a bit more leniant the first time i tried to do it, basically, it goes like this, I downloaded Win7 RC1 and the upgrade is doing alright except it had been upgrading for 17 hours and 20 mins, it was making very slowly progress with the last item .. switching the message at the bottom constantly between "Please Wait..." and "Transferring files, settings and programmes (395931 of 523838 transferred)" it had been on number that for at least 6 hours and 20 mins that i know of, basically, i restarted the machine and it began reverting back to vista,

i've tired everything and it just isn't going to upgrade, tried at least 10 times now and it's just not getting past 62%, I don't understand what it's doing.I'm really not sure how to continue anymore, what should i do now?Specs are RAID0 SATA HDD's, 3GHZ Dual core AMD, 8 GBs of RAM, ATI Radeon HD3870 and I'm upgrading from Vista SP1 to 7RC1.

Vista To Win7 Upgrade Hangs At Transferring Files Etc 39%
I'm trying to upgrade my Vista 32-bit install to Windows 7 32-bit, and Win7 Upgrade Advisor shows me that all should be fine.  During the installation, the process hangs for about 45 minutes at 21% of "Gathering files", then later it hangs for upwards of 90 minutes at 39% of "Transferring files". 

I reset the machine and let it rollback to Vista, then I reran Upgrade advisor, uninstalled a device driver it was now warning about (not sure why it didn't warn that one earlier), and tried the install again.  Same results.  Stuck at 39% until I gave up on it.Any ideas or suggestions?  I'd dearly love to get Vista off this machine, but I really don't want to have to clean install.

Upgrade Of Vista SP1 To Win 7 RC1 Hangs At 72% Complete
Trying to upgrade a Vista SP1 installation (in-place upgrade) to Windows 7 RC1 on an HP 6710b business notebook computer with a Core 2 Duo processor, and 3GB of RAM.The installation chugs along until it gets to about 72% complete when it is transferring programs settings it seems as though it is in an endless loop and the number of programs/settings never advances from that point forward.

I have not tried a fresh (new) install of Win7 RC on this laptop. I guess I'll try that next as I have a full image of the previous installation of Vista.Any recommendations on getting an in-place upgrade to finish?  My only option was to power down and allow the installation to rollback to Vista.

Upgrade Hangs Up
The upgrade has been hanging on the final step "Transferring files, settings, and programs" (58%)...

It has been at that point for approx. 12 hours. The three dots after the percentage continue to appear and disappear which makes it looks like it is processing, but no progress.

How do I get out that this and complete the upgrade?

Upgrade Hangs Up At 62%
I have attempted (several times) to upgrade Windows XP SP3 to Windows 7 Home Premium x32.  Everything goes along smoothly until it goes into COMPLETING INSTALLATION, then it hangs up at 62% on the last step.  At one point I let it run all day hoping it would eventually right itself... no luck. I even install a new clean HD with the same affect. I purchased the Windows 7 upgrade for 3 CPUs. 

I upgraded the first CPU from Vista Ultimate x32 to Windows Home x64 with no problems.  This second CPU is the one I'm having all the problems with.What should I do about this?  I'm very frustrated.  Any suggestions would be greatfully received at this point.

64 Bit Upgrade Hangs At 19%
I am trying o run upgrade on HP TouchSmart IQ816 running Windows Home Premium 64 bit OS with SP2 and IE 8.  Computer is set for automatic updates to Windows and all were up to date. I ran check for updates on the Windows 7 installation disk before starting upgrade process. Advised it might take several hours, but after 6 hours it was still stuck on 19% so I finally canceled installation and everything is back to normal on Vista. Any idea what is wrong? I'm not anxious to go through another lengthy failed install.

Upgrade Hangs At Collecting Information
Windows 7 Advisor gives the thumbs up for upgrade From Vista to Win 7.Installation does not progress after Compatibility Report (blank, by the way) shows.  Compability Report stays open.  "Close" box for Compatibility Report window or Red X are the only interaction available.  "Collecting information" is displayed on the bottom progress bar, and I have let sit for over 2 hours.  The computer is not freezing, still have mouse movement and control.Â

If I click on the Red X of the blank Compatibility Report window or the Close button, then the installation is cancelled.  I would rather not do a "CLEAN INSTALL" as an answer to this problem.Computer is an Acer Aspire w/2 GB. AMD Athlon X2 Processor.

Upgrade Installation Hangs At Windows Starting
According to the Upgrade Advisor I only have 2 problems, the printer drivers and that ADMtek AN983 based Ethernet adapter needs to be updated. Purchased Windows 7 Upgrade designed for Windows Vista. Chose Custom install because my current version isn't supported for this upgrade according to the install program. Everything installed fine until it rebooted.

The system came up to a screen stating "Windows Starting" 2 hours later it was still starting. rebooted my system and it went back to the Starting screen again and just sat there.I was able to reset Vista back running manually to search for a solution, but none of the problems matched mine. Any suggestions?

Upgrade Path Problem - Win 7 RC To Vista To Win7 Upgrade
I installed Win 7 RC on a new build and purchased Vista Home Premium 64bit OEM with upgrade to Win 7 Home premium. The Win 7 upgrade disc has arrived. I understand that Vista must be installed and activated for the upgrade to work. Attempts to install Vista with Win 7 RC running or booting from the Vista disc lead to error code 0x80070103, insufficient free space. My HDD has > 450 Gb free space in 2 partitions. Do I need to reformat the HDD in order to install Vista over Win 7?

What Actually Happens When You Upgrade From Vista?
I was wondering what actually happens when you up grade from Vista? Do you keep the programs (eg itunes , office) or do they need to be re-installed. Also, do all you documents stay in the same place (like in the music folder) or do they go to another folder?

Will Be A Win 7 Upgrade DVD Be As Crippled As A Vista Upgrade DVD ?
As a Windows user of many years, I'm sure I wasn't the only one caught out by Windows Vista's novel upgrade DVDs which didn't allow a clean install of the OS. It astounded me at the time that Microsoft could contemplate rewarding loyal customers by selling an upgrade DVD that doubles reinstallation time of Windows in the event of any problems (I returned my DVDs as soon as I discovered the limitation and, somewhat annoyed, purchased full version DVDs...

what business user has the time to waste installing an OS just to wipe it again?)Given that every other Microsoft upgrade product in history (including the recent ones - cf. Office 2007 Upgrade but right back to Windows 3.1 days) has been capable of asking for a previous product CD/DVD to prove upgrade eligibility, will Microsoft be punishing loyal users with this same irritating limitation on Windows 7 upgrade DVDs? Having built up an *old* laptop with Windows 7 RC and my full software profile, I shall be wanting to get Windows 7 the day it comes out so would like to know the details of the upgrade DVDs in advance!

Upgrade From Vista And Drives
I'm running Vista Business (32 bit, with sp1) and I'm going to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional (32 bit, from msdnaa). I have two hard drives set up, C and D. I have D for all my data. Now, the option to upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista says that I'll get to keep all my files, programs and settings. but what exactly does 'all' mean?

Does it include those in both drives c and d? Will all my data in D stay there and be accessible after upgrading to Windows 7? Also, upon searching here in the forums, I've seen several cases where the upgrade is unsuccessful where it stops at a certain percentage, if this happens, will the operating system revert back to the previous one (in my case, vista) or will i have to install vista manually? and how do i make sure i have a problem free upgrade?

Edit: can i actually do an upgrade? I mean, will the product key for the windows 7 professional work/register successfully after upgrading and not doing a clean install?

Will I Be Able To Upgrade To Win7 From Vista ?
I am ready to buy a new dell computer which ships with Vista SP1 64 bit premium.  I have heard great things about Windows 7 and want that operating system.  If I buy my system today, will I be able to upgrade to Windows 7 for free when it starts shipping from Dell, or should I just wait to purchase?

HP Laptop Upgrade From Vista
I am trying to install on an HP DV6-1063TX laptop computer.

I have runs upgrade adviser it reports 1 issue although I am not sure what it is,

In the System report I get two notices one about MS Mail & Web filtering and one suggesting a visit to HP website, everything else is green ticked so I don't think there are any serious problems here.

In the Devices section there is a ? againnst the HP DVB-T/Analog TV-Tuner but again all else is green ticked.

In the Software section I get a 'Yellow Triangle !' against Adobe Shockwave Player version 10.2.0.023, everything else has green ticks. The problem is that as far as I can see there should not be Adobe Shockwave version 10 as I have uninstalled not only this program but all the other Adobe software as well. I have tried updating to version 11.5, I have used Adobe's standalone uninstall tool for Shockwave but Windows 7 UGA insists it is still on the computer. I have run CCLeaner but all to no avail. Is this the problem?

On the first attempt I had a problem with HPs Keyboard Filter which I understand is related to the HP Quick Launch Button software, I have uninstalled the software and have upgraded to the latest version.

I have tried the installation 3 or 4 times now with the HP software upgraded or fully installed. Each time the installation goes through all the on-line checks, system checks, file expansion etc... only to find that it fails during the final stage. During the last attempt I had the upgraded Keyboard Filters installed and this again caused a problem so I am going to uninstall the upgraded software and try another install although I hold little hope for success.

The fact that the Windows 7 UGA reports a phantom Adobe Installation leads me to think the problem may be there but I have no idea how to solve this as it is not on the machine.

I would prefer to do the upgrade installation if possible as it will save many hours of software installation (after hours of time already wasted on Windows 7 installation), and I am worried that being a laptop Windows 7 may fail with some of the drivers it does not help that I cannot find this laptop on HPs website even though it was bought just over 12 months ago.

I really want to get rid of this Vista installation and hope that someone here can be of assistance, in the meantime I will be trying one more attempt to upgrade after uninstalling the HP Quick Launch Bitton software.

Upgrade From Vista HP 64 To 7 Pro 64
I was to find that I couldn't do an in place upgrade from Vista Home Premium (64-bit) to 7 Professional (64-bit) after I'd already bought Professional. It seems that I can do an in place upgrade to either 7 HP or 7 Ultimate, but they skipped over Pro.

Is there some workaround for this, or failing that some way to reliably back up my applications and data?

I have already either upgraded the incompatible software, or uninstalled it, so I only have compatible software left on my Vista HP64 system.

Upgrade To Ultimate From Vista HP
I have a new PC with Vista home premium in Spanish. I didn't realize that the voucher given for Win-7 was not valid for Ultimate which I need.

I am unable to find out if I should upgrade or buy the full version.

I believe I have to find out from others first if one allows more than one PC to be upgraded, or something I will miss and regret.

Any advice please a I see some cheap options on Amazon, but there has to be a catch I will not pick up on.

What Happens To Vista Cd Key After Upgrade ?
I am curious if I need to hang on to my Vista disk indefinitely if I buy the Windows 7 upgrade, in case I need to re-install Windows 7? Does MS keep track of the fact that I have activated as an upgrade? Or will I need to verify that I own Vista again?
