Vista Upgrade on Dell Inspiron 6400

Has anyone upgraded to Vista on a 6400 yet. I had problems when running Dell upgrade assistant DVD. Macafee Unistaller appeared and when trying to update from Mcafee Security Centre got download error (12152) and does not work. Mcafee's site says that Mcafee should upgrade and work automatically when carrying out Vista upgrade so not sure why Mcafee uninstaller needs to be run? Anyway does not work for me. Am reluctant to uncheck Mcafee and proceed with upgrade if this causes problems further down the line.
 
Any advice appreciated.

    Well i upgraded my Inspiron to Vista Home Premium last week. It went really smooth, the only difference was i bought a OEM version of Home Premium, cheaper than the retail copy!!!
     
    I would suggest doing a clean install of Windows XP, then do a upgrade. Afterwards you should have no problems. If you still have a problem with McAfee, the contact Microsoft.
     
    Hope it helps, and good luck.
