The .exe that MS gives you to download MS7, does it allow you to create a boot-able ISO disk from it? Or does it just unpack and install from your current Windows OS?

i ran the setup exe directly from my desktop.
There is a folder that it creates and you can burn that on a dvd to boot.

Okay, I have a problem already..
I think someone brought this up before but that was installing with an ISO.
So, I got my disc today finally and i'm just trying to install it and right after the start up i get the "cannot find dvd/cd rom drive... blah blah" error. I googled it and apparently it's a very common problem, but now I'm stumped. I'm not computer savvy, but I can do things as long as I have a set of instructions, but until now I have not found a suitable one
Help? And I'm doing a clean upgrade from Home Premium 32 vista to Prof 64 Win7
EDIT:
nvm, figured it all out hehe

Sorry to bump this up but I finally got the upgrade and I'm getting fucked here.
I went to do a clean install of 64 bit on a new HDD, but it says my key isn't valid (wtf?) so I go ahead with no key planning to add it after. When I get into 7 and put in the key it says the key is for upgrade only. Fuck. I don't think I can upgrade from my 32 bit OEM copy of Vista to 64 can I? Even then, that copy of Vista is bogged to shit and on the wrong harddrive, so I went to at least try and use the recovery partition to reformat to OEM but now there's no fucking option at boot to recover
WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO?!?!?!?! I just want to put this goddamn 64 bit Windows 7 on my nice new HDD.

I tried it a bunch of times a bunch of different ways but it would never accept my serial either in the installer or in Windows. I found a way to workaround it that's super simple, it was posted up that it worked for Vista and people were wondering if it worked for 7 as well. It did for me, so here it is:
1) Download the upgrade ISO from Microsoft when you pay and get the serial key (or just use a plain Win7 ISO) and burn it.
2) Boot from disc and follow the install, when it gets to the serial number and activation, don't enter one and uncheck automatic activation when online (not sure if that was important or not but uncheck it anyways)
3) Finish up the install so you're running the 30 day trial of Win7 Ultimate
4) Take out the install DVD, restart
5) Put the disc back in, and boot up the upgrade installer from inside Windows
6) Go through the whole thing again, this time entering your upgrade serial key and leaving the auto activation checked off
7) Finish the install, and enjoy your shiny new copy of Windows 7
Super easy since all you do is install it twice, I guess all the upgrade thing checks for is if you`re running 32 or 64 bit, and if your current install is horribly illegitimate.
