Hello, I'm trying to install Windows 7. Currently I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium x64.
I downloaded a 32 bit (x86) version of Windows 7 which came with 3 files: 2 .box files and a setup (executable) file. i.e, setup1.box, setup2.box and win7-p-retail-en-usx86.exe.
I ran the file and the dialog box says "Unloading the Box", however, there is no progress. I left it to run for 4-5 hours, and there was still no progression. Only a folder called expandedSetup was created with a file called Win7Setup.wim inside.
Can someone help me? I'd really love to get rid of Vista and get the best out of my system using Windows 7.
Thank you.

EDIT: I think I should add that I tried to "Run as Administrator", I tried turning my firewall off: neither worked.
EDIT II: I fixed it!
Thanks for all the help...or lack thereof. A simple re-download of the .exe file fixed it.
