    I have Windows 7 RC 7100 64-bit installed. On the RTM DVD I hacked the CVERSION.ini to allow for upgrading from build 7000. However after selecting upgrade I get an error that I cannot upgrade from a 32-bit to a 64-bit or 64-bit to 32-bit…I’m trying to go 64-bit RC to 64-bit RTM. Anyone having a similar issue or know a work around?

    This does not work with the real RTM or with RC. On both, if you delete the cfg file, you will receive an error and be unable to install Windows 7.

    I think this is the error message I got

    Windows could not collect information for [OSImage] since the specified image file [install.wim] does not exist

    By the way, the original ISO, worked and installed perfectly.

    I used this method, opened up my ISO and deleted the ei.cfg file in magic iso, then I saved the ISO via save as function to my desktop and reburned. The DVD did load correctly but gave me some weird error about IMAGE and WIM, something along those lines and would not go any further, it then brought me back to the “INSTALL” button and same error, etc.

    Any ideas??

    nokey, it wasn’t like that for the official betas I used. No key and still no choice, it installed Ultimate. I don’t know if that changed post RC to be like what you’re talking about (like Vista is).
