Having Trouble Installing

Have you tried alternative methods of installing such as using Virtual Drive
software such as Daemon Tools or NERO Image drive? Have you tried extracting
the contents of the ISO to a folder in an existing install of Windows, and
launch setup from there?

Try reburning the ISO at a low speed, 2x recommended, also do a CRC check on
the ISO to find out its integrity. Nero MD5 Verifier is a recommended
choice. If setup still fails, its likely a bad download.

I use the one from Ahead Nero
http://ww2.nero.com/nero6/eng/Nero_MD5_Verifier.html

Here are the MD5/CRC values for x86 or x64 depending on which every ISO you
downloaded:

x86
- File Size = 3.12 GB (3,355,598,848 bytes)
- CRC Value = 0x67E089E0
- MD5 Value = 0E733AB1A8E8FF9A8684FD3639332773
x64
- File Size = 4.01 GB (4,309,368,832 bytes)
- CRC Value = 0x48697711
- MD5 Value = E43502D0A15EADD551119D5639859E04

Paste the MD5 Checksum for either x64 or x86 depending on which one you want
check in Step 1, Step 2 - Browse to where you stored the ISO on your drive
and open it and it will automatically start the varification process and
generate the has in the third field, if it matches Step 1, then you are
safe.

Burning the ISO Image in NERO and Roxio Easy CD Creator:

NERO

Insert a Blank DVD, open Nero Start Smart > change the media type to DVD >
select Copy and Backup > click "Burn Image to Disc" > navigate to where the
Windows Vista BETA 2 Image is stored on your hard disk, (note: if you don't
see it, make sure the image file type is changed to "ISO" click Open and the
burning wizard will automatically start.



Roxio

Open Creator Classic > click File > "Record Disc from Image" > navigate to
where the Windows Vista BETA 2 Image is stored > click Open and the burning
wizard will automatically start.
