Setup just disappears

I've been trying to install vista since the release of the ccp release and
have been trying to upgrade my current xp system to vista. Yet every time I
try the upgrade option I get to 99% of Readying files and the installation
disappears. It does not restart my computer like it did on my tablet, nor
does it give me any error message to follow up on. I've tried installing it
probably 15 times and get the same thing every single time. Having no luck
there I have tried on a freshly formatted HDD and get an error message
indicating it can't continue. Exact error code I can't remember. I'm not so
much worried about that but I would like any suggestions on what's going on
with the upgrade and why it keeps dying on me.

Re: Setup just disappears

Try to search if there is any (may be hidden folder, go Folder options to
change them visible) setup*.log that have their date time near when the
setup finished running. They should be quite big files, several MegaBytes..

Then get Beta Client installed and submit those logs to MS.
