Sonic Studio DLA prevents Windows 7 Pro upgrade from Vista Business (64 bit)

When I try to upgrade to Windows 7, I get an error that Sonic Studio DLA must be uninstalled before the upgrade. This program is not visible in Add/Remove programs. A Roxio program was there and I uninstalled it. I searched the registry for roxio and sonic DLA and deleted everything. It will not install. Help, please.

Hey Killick,.
 
Please let us know the exact error message.
 
To remove Sonic DLA Studio we suggest you to run Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. Once the tool is installed, run it in the start menu and remove the program Sonic to the list of programs.

  • Windows 8 pro upgrade from Vista Home premium - abandonment of the facility after having successfully performed the wizard upgrade reboot

    I started the process of upgrading to Windows Vista Edition Family Premium to Windows 8 Pro by using the relevant DVD purchased from amazon.co.uk.

    Setup.exe automatically runs 'prepare' the PC for the Windows installation. The option allows to select personal folders are to remember, I chose 'Nothing' (I also tried another option). After reaching 100% of the given progress the PC is reset.

    The blue brand (8) window so that the circle of progress under and then all of a sudden I get an instant error on a light blue background, something like: ":-(". The installation could not be completed.
    I'm not sure of the message because it only flashes for a second and then reboots the PC. Back to the Vista, a message from window 8 installation could not be completed without further indication of what might have gone wrong.
    Some information on my system:
    Intel Pentium Dual Core 2.5
    6 GB OF RAM
    Important: During the described process I had a dual boot OS, Ubuntu 12 and Windows Vista. Then I formatted all realizing finally that it is explicitly a DVD upgrade and it won't work for any new installation.
    In any case, I'm really frustrated by the upgrade experience. I never had something similar, not even with Trash OS like Windows Me.
    Any feedback/direction would be really appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi Rohit, André,

    I want to thank you for posting on the thread.
    After some trial and error, I finally had. Here's what I did:
    I started by trying to install Windows 7 to then use as the basis for the upgrade of Windows 8 (Vista installation was not good enough since it is 32-Bit allows do not directly upgrade to 64-bit operating system)-here I was getting an exception (BLUE) screen with the error code several different so I started to answer one by one
    1 removed all USB and other devices outside mouse & keyboard (lock was apparently a Logitech camera)
    2 update BIOS of ASUS motherboard to the latest version
    3. I had two different pairs of RAM modules using different frequencies. (2x2gb, 2 x 1 GB). I removed a pair.
    Everything worked well, Windows 7 was installed successfully, and then I continued with an upgrade of Windows 8 smooth.
    Lessons learned: incompatibilities HW should consider significant problems during the upgrade.
    Kind regards

  • I bought MS Windows 8 Pro upgrade from last year, but it was not installed until today. I get a message "installation failed." What should I do?

    Currently I have Windows XP, but cannot install Windows 8 Pro upgrade.

    If you have compatible hardware and your computer still stops responding, disable any unnecessary material. Remove (USB) universal serial bus devices. Remove or disable network cards, sound cards and cards of the series; and then restart the installation.

    Have you tried to boot from the disk and make a custom installation?

    Boot from the DVD Windows 8

    Click Install now

    Accept the license agreement

    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 8 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • XP Mode/VPC does not start on Windows 7 Ultimate upgraded from Vista Ultimate box

    1 Dell Studio 1735

    2 initially loaded with 32 bit Vista Ultimate. Including one instance of VPC 2007 carrying a XP Pro Virtual Machine

    3 before moving on to 32-bit Windows 7 compatibility check was done and recommended applications, including VPC 2007, have been uninstalled.

    4 Windows 7 upgrade was performed without incident or error and to end all applications and data were good.

    5 installed, strictly in accordance with the files of the web videos etc., XPMode, VPC and WindowsXPMode.  Once again without incident or error.

    6 in the execution either XPMode or VPC ago approximately 45 seconds of the busy HARD disk activity and then nothing.

    7 I have a backup image of the original disc loaded with Vista as it was before step 1, above, I have tried several variations on a theme whose hardware virtualization on and off the power, order of the file install etc. but nothing helps

    8 to prove the process and installation files, I did a clean load of Windows 7 then XPMode etc. on some old iron P4 and it worked a treat.  I'm actually surprised by not only it installed at all, but by the way it currently works on an area that was originally intended to spend the rest of his eternal life as a dump.

    My conclusion is that VPC 2007 uninstall is not clean; He leaves legacy shrapnel (register?) in the system which is farce VPC.  Note that the result is consistent on several uninstalls, step 7, above.

    Question; as the XPMode function is essential and will determine if a quantity of boxes are to move from Vista to Windows 7 where only once from here?

    See you soon

  • The upgrade of Vista Business 64 bit on a workstation used

    I recently bought a Dell Precision T5400 used with Windows Vista professional. I'm very happy with it, but I intend on a program 64 bit running on the workstation. What are my upgrade options?

    Anyway you have to clean install.

    Your options are Windows Vista 64 bit, Windows 7 64-bit or 64-bit Windows 8.

    You can use a Digital River 64-bit with Service Pack 1 setup files to a bootable media and pure install 64-bit Windows Vista Business.

    I recommend Windows 7 Professional with Service Pack 1 64-bit, but you have to pay for a license (its probably the most expensive option).

    You can also switch to Windows 8 Professional upgrade license is cheaper than that of Windows 7, but in my opinion, a lower quality product.

    I would recommend either tried and decide what you like the most and if you think that its worth the upgrade.

    Follow the instructions in install windows own A: http://philipyip.wordpress.com/dell-community-forums/

    I suggest running step 2 and 3 to A Clean installation of Windows Vista before experimenting. The guide tells you how to obtain trial versions of Windows 7 and 8 so you can evaluate them. With Vista 64 bit, you have the product key and must be able to activate using activation activation recovery backup program or phone to Microsoft.

  • Upgrade from Vista Ultimate 32 bit to Windows 7 Home Premium

    I'm running a GM 5424 Gateway System I bought with Vista 32 Ultimate on it.    A year ago I bought the dvd of Windows 7 Home Premium at Wal-Mart.    Can I do a upgrade in place without having to reinstall all my programs application?   I understand the Win 7 Upgrade advisor a few programs may not be compatible and is not a problem.

    I was wondering if the upgrade in place is available for this combination or to I need to do a clean install (which I am dreading because it means at least a week of work to re - install everything what I really need.)     Whether it is a new installation or an upgrade in place, I also know that I have several days of Windows updates for Windows 7 until the current patch level, since the OEM Win/7 disc includes only through SP 1.    I have other computers (laptops) running Windows 7 and 8 to win.

    My PC has a 500 GB drive and I've upgraded to 8 GB of memory in a couple of years (I realize the 32 bit OS does not use everything), but I want to go to the 64-bit version of Win/7 since my CPU and hardware will support it.   I've already replaced my NIC with a compatible card Win/7.

    I already intend to have at least 2 backups made to two different USB 1 terabyte disk drives and also will have all of my data backed up online via BackBlaze.

    Please notify.  Thanks in advance!

    Yes, no problem, as long as you stick with 32-bit Windows. And almost
    all the programs will be compatible.

    or that I must do a clean install (which I am dreading because it means at least a week of work to re - install everything what I really need.)

    but I want to go to the 64-bit version of Win/7 because my processor and hardware will support it.

    However, it is not possible to change the number of 'bits' of Windows, of
    32-bit to 64-bit or vice versa. The only way to get there is what you
    Dread - a new installation.

    Another point: Windows 7 is now two generations old. As far as I am
    concerned, she brings more much sense to upgrade to a young person of these
    Version. I recommend going to 10 Windows instead.

  • Upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 Home Premium Enterprise?

    I think my laptop at home has Windows Vista Business edition (I'll have to double check when I get home). I was wondering if I could buy the upgrade from Vista business to Windows 7 Home Premium edition. I don't need all the stuff that comes with Windows 7 Professional, but I don't know if I am limited to just Windows 7 professional since I'm upgrading to Vista professional. Windows 7 Home Edition Premium is a notch down from Windows 7 Professional, so I was wondering if it is possible to do. Or I'm stuck after you buy the full version of Windows 7 Home Premium for the SB $ 199.99 upgrade $ 119.99.

    Then I can buy just the Microsoft® Windows® 7 Home Premium, Version upgrade and just do a custom installation? The instructions are fairly easy to follow? The only upgrade I've ever done is when I got my laptop from XP to Vista, (it came with XP installed and they gave me a CD to upgrade to Vista if I wanted to).

    Yes, its simple, simply start your desktop of Windows Vista professional, insert the Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade DVD, click install now. When the menu appears, select custom (advanced option) to a clean install procedure.

    My last computer was shipped with Vista Home Premium. I bought Windows 7 Pro update for this computer. The death of this machine, I bought another HP with Windows 7 Home Premium pre-installed. I reused my disc of Windows 7 Pro upgrade successfully. I have Windows 7 recovery discs that were created before the installation of Windows 7 Pro upgrade. Now, I pre-ordered Windows 8 Pro.

    Hi flnettles,

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

    If it is a full license or upgrade retail - Yes. You can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on a single computer at a time (and if it's a Windows 7 Upgrade version the new computer must have its own XP/Vista license qualification). The previous installation of Windows 7 on the old computer must be in the format / deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turning it on the second computer will automatically be in effect 'disable' the license for the first computer. The key works with 32 and 64 bit, but can only be installed at a time.

    If it is licensed OEM - No.
    OEM licenses, including Windows preinstalled on a computer before purchase and Windows purchased separately, are related to the first computer, they are installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer. To install Windows on another computer, you will need to buy another copy.

    Call Microsoft use the manual phone Activation

    If you have trouble activating Windows 7 you can call Microsoft to activate it by following these steps:
    1. with the operation of Windows, click Start, then in the search box type: slui.exe 4
    2. press enter on your keyboard
    3. Select your country.
    4. Select the telephone activation option, then dial the given number and hold for a real person.

  • Windows 7 Pro upgrade Activation issue.

    Windows 7 Pro upgrade Activation issue. I bought a real upgrade of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. In reading, there is no way I could actually update my current installation of XP and keep all the settings, I decided to just reformat my hard drive and install windows 7 as a custom install fees. Now, I can't activate Windows 7 because it claims that I do not have a version of windows installed on this hard drive. Is it possible (armed with my XP and Windows 7 product keys) I can activate my software? Or should I go through the hassle to format my drive again, stick XP on it simply to crush it with Windows 7 so I can activate it? Feels like a bit of an oversight for XP to 7 plants of valuation. Thanks for any help you can offer!

    When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click the link x days before activation.

    Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

    They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

    Click next to complete the activation.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.
