No problems. Then installed the Windows 8 Pro Upgrade – all accepted, then just before it was ready to go it declared that the installation had failed, gave me no advice, and promptly took be back to Vista. Does anyone still like Microsoft?

I can install Apps by downloading from the Internet without trouble. But i can not install Software using a DVD. During the Install-Process there comes an note, that \vmware-host can not be found!
Whats wrong?

I am running XP Pro and purchased the Win8 Pro update. I now understand that this will not update from within XP. I then purchased the optional disc. I installed from the disc as per the instructions here. But now I cannot activate the software because the Windows activation service says that it is not a licence for a clean install, just an update. Don’t you just hate Microsoft. What does this mean? The software seems to function? Is there a solution? This whole business is driving me nuts.
