When you try to upgrade a Windows XP-based computer to Windows Vista, you may receive the following error message during the upgrade process:

Windows installation encountered an error and cannot continue. Your computer will now restart, and your previous version of Windows will be restored.

When you click OK, Setup restores Windows XP on the computer.

Additionally, an “Error 112″ message may have been logged in the Setupact.log file during the upgrade process. This log file is located in the %SystemRoot%\Panther folder. This “Error 112″ message indicates that the volume is out of disk space.

Consider the following scenario:

  • You are running a Windows XP-based computer.
  • You create an End User Defined Character (EUDC) font.
  • You deploy the EUDC font to a Windows Vista-based computer or to a Windows Server 2008-based computer.

In this scenario, you cannot enter the EUDC characters by using the Pinyin (phonetic) Input Method Editor (IME) or the Changjie IME.

This issue also occurs if you upgrade a Windows XP-based computer to Windows Vista.

Symptom 1
You are running a Windows Vista-based computer that has Onekey Recovery 5.0 installed. If you try to upgrade the operating system to Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) by using Windows Update or another method, you may experience a black screen issue after the computer is restarted.

Symptom 2
You are running a Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2)-based computer that has Onekey Recovery 5.0 installed. If you try to upgrade the operating system to Windows XP Service Pack 3 by using Windows Update or another method, you may experience a black screen issue after the computer is restarted.

Note: This issue occurs when the computer contains Onekey recovery software that is earlier than version 5.1. If the computer uses the Onekey recovery software version 5.1 or later versions, this issue does not occur.
