Windows Vista Upgrade Has Been Disabled -Upgrade Compliance Check Cannot Be Run
I am trying to upgrade from Windows Vista Beta 2 to Windows Vista July CTP.
The upgrade option used to work. The compliance report said to uninstall
Norton Products 2003 - 2006. I did that with the Norton Products Removal
Tool. Now the upgrade option for Windows Vista Setup is disabled. It says
the compliance Check cannot be run. Please help anyone. I need to upgrade
ASAP.

If you are upgrading do you have enough free disk space? The last time i
upgraded i encountered a smiliar situation until i realised that there was
not enough free disk space available on the partition for vista to upgrade.
At the time, i was using a 10GB test partition for Vista (only the operating
system, not any other software) Increasing the partition size to 20GB solved
the problem for me.

No I have 23GB free, It is my main laptop computer. I know I shouldn't have
upgraded my one of my main computers to Vista, but it ran great on my test
system.

The Upgrade option now give an explicit message about the disk space needed
when there is insufficient space. The message is something like 11.3GB
needed.
