Inplace upgrades from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional are
not supported.
In general, inplace upgrades are a bad idea. So you should avoid them
anyway. I would recommend you to insert the CD, and then do a custom
install. If your hardware supports it, you should prefer the 64bit
Version.
Note that during a custom install, all data on your hard disk will be
preserved, but not migrated. You will need to reinstall all programs
and migrate settings and documents to the new namespace. A good tool
to help you with that is USMT, or Windows Easy Transfer if you prefer
a grpahical interface.
If you insist on doing an inplace upgrade from VHP to W7P you need to
copy the content of the CD to your hard drive, remove the ei.cfg file
in the sources directory, start setup from the hard disk, perform an
inplace-upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium, and then perform another
Update from Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional.
