This is a procedure that sounds like it should work OK for those who have bought a upgrade version of Vista and who wish to do a clean install. I haven’t personally tried it since I don’t have a upgrade version to test with.
1. Boot your computer system using the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD. You may have to set your BIOS to boot from DVD first, as the 1st boot device if it hasn’t been setup before.
2. Then click on the “Install Now” button.
3. You will be prompted to enter a Product Key. Do not enter one - leave it blank.
4. You will be prompted to select the Vista product version you wish to install. Do so now.
6. The installation should proceed normally for Vista. Installation time is quicker then previous versions of Windows.
7. Upon completion of the installation process, you must restart the installation once again from within Vista. And you must select to do a in-place upgrade. This time you will enter your Product Key when asked.
