| | Unsuccessful upgrade from XP to RC2 Tried to use RC2 to upgrade my XP. computer is pretty generic DELL XPS although fairly powerful with 2 GB of RAM. Probably the most nonstandard thing is that I have IE7 RC1 installed. I launched RC2 from XP and it found about 5 programs it said would not work after the upgrade. That was ok with me. The upgrade ran overnight and in the morning I found a message like "VC++ crashed"... I didn't realize it was a fatal error so I hit ok without writing down the message. It then proceeded to rollback to XP. It did this successfully. This computer has successfully run Beta 2 and RC2 with a clean installation. Unfortunately when I reported the bug using the tool, it asked me about debug log files that must have been lost during the rollback to XP. Of course, I was just curious what the upgrade would do. For my real world machine, I use clean installs. Knox |
