Can't Upgrade to Longhorn from XP

Post by TheTerminatorExecuter »

I get a driver error near the beginning, which is fine and allows me to go through.
While installing files though, I get an error that closes the installer.
"An error occurred while copying files." or
"An error occurred while migrating boot drivers."
Can I get some help?

What are you using to install the OS? (VBox, VMware, VPC)
i do things.
Pre-Whistler 2428 builds are underrated tbh

What build of Longhorn are you trying to upgrade to?
Pseudo-localized builds are awesome!

Yeah, you can't. Upgrade to build 4001, then to 4029, after which you should be able to upgrade to 4093.

I can't find an ISO of 4001 online, can I start from 4005 instead of 4001?

Pre-reset Longhorn builds 4008 and beyond do not have upgrade functionality
Quote the release notes of 4051/4053: You cannot upgrade to "Longhorn"; you can only perform a clean installation.
If you really want to upgrade from XP to Longhorn, go with 3683-3718 or 5308 instead
