Windows 7 - upgrade Setup error we are unable to create or save new files in the folder in which this application was downloaded

I just bought the Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade from the downloaded Microsoft store the installation files. I am currently on Windows XP 32-bit, and try to install Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

Now, whenever I try to run the executable from Windows 7, I get this error message:
Now, I tried to make the folder I downloaded files is NOT unalterable, but every time I try to do it right, he returns to read-only. I can do all the files Windows 7 installation not in read-only, but the folder remains read-only. I moved the installation files in different locations, only to get the same results.
Yes, I'm on an administrator account and I still have this problem.

Hello

32-bit to 64-bit is not a supported upgrade path. You must do a clean installation of 64-bit.

In addition, upgrade is not possible from XP to Win7. It will be a custom installation.

As a first step I suggest you back up the data before you do a custom installation. Check the link for more information.

    Hello

    What is the edition of Windows Vista installed on the computer?
    Make sure that you upgrade to the correct version, some versions of Windows cannot be upgraded with the installation disc you are trying to use. For example, you cannot upgrade a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version, or upgrade a higher edition of Windows like Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, to a lower edition, such as Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. If this is the case, you will need to use the custom during installation option.
    Before you attempt to upgrade, please run the Windows 7 upgrade Advisor:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor
    Also, check if your computer is compatible for Windows 7, using the Compatibility Center:

    1. In Windows Explorer, right-click the file or folder you want to work with.
    2. In the context menu, select properties and then in the Properties dialog box, click the Security tab.

    3. In the name list box, select the user, contact, computer, or group to which you want to display permissions. If the permissions are grayed out, this means that the permissions are inherited from a parent object.

    The pictures that you have imported into the photo library are, by default, stored inside the package (not file) "Library.photoslibrary Photos" in your pictures folder. The 'iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary' package would contain photos that have been stored in your library, iPhoto at the time of the migration.

    The other files in the pictures folder are that: other files. Also, they can be in libraries if you imported and has not deleted the copies lying around in the images.

    I use Windows xp. In Windows Explorer. A dated file say 12/02/2000. When you click the folder, the files in the folder bear different date. Why is it so. To update the files, we should see the dates of the files instead of the dates of the folder. right? Why is there such a difference?

    My copy of Windows XP works the same as yours.  Apparently the date folder is not updated when the content is, that fact make some sense as the folder itself is not updated when new content is created in the it.

  • Server data store will automatically get updated when the new file (with the same name) is placed in the landing area


    Hi guys,.

    The data store server-side will get automatically updated when a new file with the same name is loaded in the landing area?

    for example

    1 data store created for server-side get the file named UK.xls (he has 5 rows)

    2 snapshot created for the above data store

    3. created with the snapshot process

    After that if I remove 2 lines from the same file and load again to the landing (with the same name). So by re-running the process will take the last file OR do I need to reload the file in the data store every time when there is a change in the file. We also tried with option to work but the last file was not picking up.

    Any help will be really appreciated.

    Please lets us know your updates.

    Please advice

    Thank you

    Hello

    When you create a snapshot, you create a snapshot whose task (provided that you use a data store server-side) can be run from a job. To refresh the data, run the snapshot in a job task. If you create a task at the time the snapshot and the processes that use it, they will automatically connect and will be 'upstream' data through the snapshot in the process. You can then choose whether it would be appropriate to write the snapshot or not (for the effectiveness of performance if you want to do the straight through processing) by activating or deactivating the bucket of data staged that the snapshot written to. The snapshot in the work task means that the data is refreshed.

    For the work of design to the Director, you can refresh the snapshot by running again it manually in the context menu.

    Hello

    > before installation, a message appears that I need to uninstall install ATI Catalyst and ATI catalyst Control Panel.
    And why you didn t do?
    Maybe you run an earlier version of the display drivers and so you should uninstall them before you start the upgrade.
    Check it!

    After the upgrade, you can install the latest version of the Toshiba page display driver.
