Windows 7 Student edition has a bug


Since the launch of Windows 7, Apple would have been waiting anxiously to hear about the Windows 7 flaws. Well it seems they don’t have to wait any more as the first Windows 7 flaw has appeared on the scene.

Windows 7 Student edition seems to be the affected version. People have experienced difficulties using the Student Upgrade edition on 32 bit Vista to upgrade to the just released Windows 7.

The likely cause of this flaw is a flawed unpacking process. The unpacking process results into one executable file and two non-functioning bundles instead of producing an OS installer.

When the installation process is initiated, a bug makes an entry and attempts to execute a 64 bit task on the32 bit systems.

Microsoft has stated that it is looking into the issue. Microsoft should come up with a resolution as soon as possible as this will be in their best interest.
