I echo this. I originally had Home Premium. I have Ultimate. It makes it
all the way to the same point as mentioned in this discussion (Mick Murphy's
reply made no sense as it would not make it to the final stages as mentioned
by Dana unless one had started it from the os).
I even scanned the various installation logs and the rollback logs. There
is no discernable reason why the upgrade did not work. This is especially
weird as it does go through the "starting windows for the first time" screen.
But, ultimately (small pun) it fails and rolls back to premium. Ultimate is
not so ultimate after all is it (of course the premium wasn't all that
premium either)?
I will attempt a clean install, which I agree will at least start the
registry from scratch, where the issue probably lies.
