newid12345,

Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.

I have reported this information from other threads that people are receiving this error with the Upgrade Assistant. What exactly does the error read? I cannot make it out. What system is this on and are you upgrading to the 32 or 64 bit Windows 7?

thank for the reply.

i don't know what the system is on but let me copy the whole details for you...

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:


   


When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

And I m upgrading to the 32 bit windows 7 home premium.
