Install problem: setup.exe won't run

I have a Vista SP1 Acer laptop which had no issues after I ran the Windows Vista
Upgrade Advisor. I received my Windows 7 DVD set (32 bit & 64 bit) last week. I inserted
the 32 bit DVD in my drive. I get an Autorun pop-up asking me to confirm I want to
run setup.exe, and I clicked on it to run it. I then got the UAC pop-up asking me
if it's okay to run, and I say Yes.
I see some blinking lights on the DVD drive for maybe one minute, and nothing else
happens during that time or after that time.
I look at Task Manager and see setup.exe there but always at 0% CPU.
That's it. It just dies and nothing happens.
I tried START/RUN/d:\setup.exe and the exact same thing happens.
I click on COMPUTER then the D drive and do indeed see the contents of the DVD, including
setup.exe. I click on it and nothing happens.
Vista tells me that I have a 32 bit OS when I look at System properties. I am using
the 32 bit DVD from Microsoft.
Any ideas, please?
Frustrated in VT,
Tom
