I am unable to upgrade from Vista Beta 2 to RC1 because of the following

Hi I have a question hopefully you guys can help with.  I'm Currently running

Just after entering the Product code I get an error stating it can not find
D:\sources\instal.win error code:0x80070570. What do I do now?

the installation. Error code: 0x80070017

.iso file as they are on the 5728 download page. It seems that My numbers
don't match the checksum numbers on the download page.....Thanks
