Is downgrade supported at installation time, it works.
I install w7 ultimate (go to a .wim file, with a file of responses without product key), updated everything that needs to be updated, and then, at the moment, I add my product key (key for w7 Pro) with the help of 'Change product key' in the control panel-system.
It works fine, but is it supported?
A Windows 7 Professional product key cannot activate or decommission an installation of Windows 7 Ultimate.
You must have a disc of Windows 7 Professional, and then perform a custom installation:
For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.
It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.
Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:
How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?
Make sure you scroll down and read the section:
What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

CF 9 installer does not work on Mac OS Lion
So I'll try to setup CF 9 on my Mac under OS X Lion and, surprise, surprise, the installer will not work. I meet this wonderful problem on windows before, but can't remember how I solved it or I know it would be the same problem. Just to be clear, it is not an installation process has failed. The process is not yet start, Setup does not work. I know that maybe they do not support Lion, but even so, something should happen in the installer saying that the OS is not taken in charge or something.
I checked the logs from the Console, and this is the error that is coming:
MacBook com.apple.launchd.peruser.501 [94] ([0 x 0-0x2a6ba69]. (ColdFusion 9 install [96113]): posix_spawn ("/ users/tmessier/downloads/ColdFusion 9 Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/adobe_cf",...): permission denied
No idea what it really means, I always run facilities in this same directory and never had a problem. I'm guessing that maybe it is trying to copy the installation files to archive somewhere and execution of this directory and fails, but do not know how to fix this problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
I installed ColdFusion over 100 times on many operating systems and do not remember ever having a problem. So, I find your difficult bitterness. I get as frustrated with people who get immediately outraged a problem like this, especially when trying to make something that is clearly not supported. CF9 is not compatible with the Lion, so try not to get so frustrated with Adobe when you try to do something they never claimed that you should be able to do.
That said, I'll try to help.
First of all, are you aware that the Lion does not come with Java? Have you installed it?
Second, have you check the permissions on the installer execute. Who owns the file? It does not matter if you have run the installer from the directory before, files can have their own authorization. Maybe something with your got buggered. Worst case, you could just put it to 777 (remember that a .app is a package, you must recursively process the file permission changes. chmod - rf 777 ColdFusion\ 9 Installer.app).
You can always try to download the file again.
Hope that helps. If it is not could you also want to check this out: http://superuser.com/questions/361475/com-apple-launchd-com-apple-launchd-peruser-error

Whenever I run windows update, and try to install an update for Vista, I get the error message"
"Windows Modules Installer has stopped working and was closed"
. This has happened for quite awhile and I tried many suggestions on the web. If you do an internet search, you will see this seems to be a fairly common problem, but I can't find any official solution of Microsoft. I am afraid that I do not receive the latest updates and security patches so would like to help with this question.
Thank you
Luke
Hi guys
I had installed up-to-date antivirus software and my problem seems to start after an update from Microsoft. Do a search on the web and you will see similar stories. I spent so much time trying to solve this I think it's better just to do a re-install. Certainly not the resolution I had hoped, but appreciate this type of questions are almost impossible to solve the problems through intermittent mail such messages.
Thank you

Driver Installation module stopped working and was closed
Hi, can someone help with this error.
I am trying to install different drivers, but I get this problem "driver installation module stopped working and was closed" and as such, I can not install any drivers...
Is there a round work or a solution to this?
See you soon
Hello- What drivers are you trying to install?
- What were the changes made before the problem occurred?
I suggest you try to put your boot system minimum state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.
See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

Windows Installer has stopped working on Vista Ultimate 64 - bit SP2
Hello
My Windows Installer has stopped working all of a sudden (probably common last week). I get no error message at all. It simply doesn't get it. The programs can be installed and uninstalled by there own systems updated, but the changes are not reflected in "programs and features". When I ask Windows Installer to run under programs and features, I get the usual verification pop-ups, but once I click on the last approval, nothing happens.
I tried to install a new Windows Installer from the Microsoft Download site and each time, the program "check updates" and I get an error message that says "this update does not apply to your version," (to paraphrase). I tried to install Windows 6.0, v-2, x 64, but when it does not work I tried all (LOL) with the same result.
At first I thought that my computer can was struck by a malicious code, so I ran MSE, remove malicious software (FULL) Windows for January and Advanced System Care 3. All scans is come-up 100% clean!
I tried to restore my computer to a point 3 days does not. As Murphy's law would have, I disabled the restore before January 12 points.
Windows Update online might work. I get notifications for optional updates for MSE and AFAIK, they are applied.
Edit: One more important thing, the uninstall on Advanced System Care 3 feature does more either. It's almost like the hooks to the installer of Windows have been removed to that also.
Installation service seems to be very well and the value 'manual '.
Any thoughts on the subject? I can reload Windows from "day 1", but would rather not. Laughing out loud. I have my drive so. :-)
Thanks in advance for your help.
