This Fix it Solution automates setting a system variable to ignore the IphlpsvcMigPlugin.ddd plug-in on Windows Vista which enables the update to occur successfully from Windows Vista to Windows 7.

The Fix it solution can be applied after the 62 percent upgrade failure happens. At that point, the PC will roll back to Windows Vista. Users can then visit this support page, scroll down and click the "Fix this problem" link. The link will run a wizard with steps to complete to apply the patch. After the patch is applied, users can try the Windows 7 upgrade process again.

Microsoft cautions that this Fix it solution should not be used for Windows 7 upgrades that halt at some other percentage than "62 percent."
