    I have an HP m9177c computer system (quad core, 3 GB RAM).

     

    I am trying to upgrade Vista Home Premium to Ultimate.  The upgrade apparently goes fine, going through all the steps except at the very final step "Completing Upgrade" (after two or three reboots), the following error message is raised:

     

    "Windows could not configure one or more system components.  To install Windows, restart the computer and then restart the installation."

     

    That's it.  The program does not tell me WHICH system component is the problem.

     

    Any assistance is greatly appreciated.  I have tried two or three times and nothing changes.  Is there an installation log file that would provide the information?

    Hi,

     

    I suggest referring to the following article first:

     

    Error message when you try to upgrade Windows Vista to a more advanced version of Windows Vista: "Windows could not configure one or more system components To install Windows, restart the computer and then restart the installation"

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946078/en-us

     

    Please let me know the result.

    I have tried this solution 4 times (about 6 hours of wasted time at this point) and my upgrade of Vista Home Premium x64 to Vista Ultimate x64 continues to fail. Here are the contents of my C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\panther\setuperr.log file:

    I can't believe that 2 years after this product came out, I can order a brand new Dell XPS 630i and *STILL* run into these problems!
