| Windows 7 upgrade advisor fails to install Downloaded the advisor, installed it on my XP system and it worked fine. Copied the download to my VISTA system and tried to install. It quits immediately with no error, no indication of any kind. I've tried "Run as Administrator", restarted the system, downloaded the package again. Nothing helps!!! |

This is true for MANY downloads related to a specific OS as the site(s) check for OS version and then start the download according to its findings, therefore you cannot "copy" the download to another OS and expect it to work.
