upgrading from Vista Business to Windows 7 Professional on Boot Camp

i'm posting this in case it helps anyone :-)

i am unable to use the Upgrade version of Windows 7 Professional to upgrade my Boot Camp installation of Windows Vista Business.

there is a reproducible problem which aborts the install at an early stage.

judging from the number of blog posts which report successful installs of Windows 7, i have to assume that they are using the Full Install disc, and not the Upgrade disc.

(i have verified that the particular Upgrade disc i have, proceeds beyond the stage where the reproducible problem occurs, on a regular Windows PC)

[update: have a look at this Apple Support Document]
