Migrated all office PC’s to Windows 7 from Windows Vista Business. Awesome stuff. Missing a few Group Policies for the 7/R2 level but thats ok. The best is the ease of network backups. Love it!

Less resources – good performer – im stoked.

Ran into a few snags upon upgrading where a few systems were stuck @ 72%. Here’s the fix:

  • Reboot your computer for the system to roll back to Windows Vista OS
  • Navigate to Start >> right click on Computer >> Properties >> Advanced Settings >> Environment Variables
  • Under System Variables, click New >> press ENTER
  • Type in the following variable information:

    • Variable Name: MIG_UPGRADE_IGNORE_PLUGINS
    Variable value: IphlpsvcMigPlugin.dll

  • Reboot your computer and restart Windows 7 upgrade installation process
  • You are done.
