This is the upgrade version and works only on top of a Windows 98 or XP installation (cant use a bootable CD and clean install)

Install Notes
1. Put the exe and the 2 wim files in the same folder.
2. Then click on the exe. It will copy the wims to the correct folder. An installer will come up. Close it.
3. The exe will create a folder named vista. All the files (and the wims) are in there.
4. Install from that location and use the crack:
