Cannot install Windows Easy Transfer for update to Windows 7

I am running Vista Home Premium 64-bit sp2 and upgrade to Windows 7 Pro. I know I need everything back up, install 7 and then restore my data and programs. When I install Windows Easy Transfer, it downloads very well, then on run I get 'Stand Alone Windows Update installation', then "Looks For Updates" and then "update applies to my system" and nothing, fact. I made sure I download the Easy Transfer for Vista 64 bit, but I'm stumped. Any ideas?
