Upgrade stops responding (hangs) at 62% when you upgrade to Windows 7

Microsoft has published an awesome article on this:
When you try to upgrade your computer from Windows Vista to Windows 7, the upgrade process stops responding at 62% indefinitely.

Additionally, Windows creates a file that is named system_drive:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther\setupact.log. If you examine the contents of the file, you notice the following information:

<date> <time>, Info                  MIG    IPostApply::ApplySuccess for Plugin={ServerPath="%windir%\system32\migration\IphlpsvcMigPlugin.dll", CLSID={ade10465-2a43-454e-b0a7-3f220a61bd03}, ThreadingModel=Apartment} - Working directory: C:\$UPGRADE.~OS\OnlineUpgradeApplyWork\srcworking\agentmgr\CCSIAgent\005AE0CB

Warning [0x080b50] MIG AsyncCallback_ApplyStatus: Progress appears to be stuck. Current progress: 62

Note Generally, drive is drive C on the computer.

Cause: This problem occurs because the Iphlpsvc service stops responding during the upgrade.

Note Other services may also cause a problem in which the upgrade process stops responding at 62%.

Resolution:

Important Do not use this resolution if the upgrade stops responding at a percentage other than 62% or if the log entries are not logged. For more information about how to open the Seupact.log file, see the More Information section.

To have us fix this problem for you, go to the "Fix it for me" section. If you prefer to fix this problem yourself, go to the "Let me fix it myself" section.

Fix it for Me

To fix this problem automatically, restart the computer where the upgrade to Windows 7 fails at 62%. Your computer will roll back to Windows Vista. Either download the following fix to a flash drive or to a CD or return to this article on the machine where the upgrade fails. If you return to this article on the machine where you experience this problem, click the Fix this problem link. Click Run in the File Download dialog box, and follow the steps in the Fix it wizard.

Using Jump Lists to open programs and items

Jump Lists are lists of recently opened items, such as files, folders, or websites, organized by the program that you use to open them. You can use a Jump List to open items, and you can also pin favorites to a Jump List, so you can quickly get to the items that you use every day.

Managing programs and items with Jump Lists

On the taskbar, Jump Lists appear for programs that you've pinned to the taskbar and programs that are currently running. On the Start menu, Jump Lists appear for programs that you've pinned to the Start menu and programs that you've opened recently. (Jump Lists don't appear in All Programs on the Start menu.)

Jump Lists can include recently opened items, frequently opened items, tasks, or websites, in addition to any items that you've pinned.

You'll always see the same items in the Jump List for a program, regardless of whether you view the list on the Start menu or the taskbar. For example, if you pin an item to a program’s Jump List on the taskbar, the item also appears in that program's Jump List on the Start menu.

Notes

In addition to any pinned or currently open items, Jump Lists on the taskbar contain several commands that you can use to close an item or unpin the program from the taskbar.
You can drag an item from a Jump List to copy it to another location. For example, you can drag a document from a Jump List to an e‑mail message if you want to send it to someone.

Working with Jump Lists on the Start menu

Jump Lists on the Start menu give you quick access to the things you use most often.

Pinning an item to the Jump List on the Start menu

To view the Jump List for a program

Click Start, point to a pinned program or to a recently used program near the top of the Start menu, and then point to or click the arrow next to the program.

To open an item

Click Start, point to a pinned program or to a recently used program near the top of the Start menu to open the program's Jump List, and then click the item.

To pin an item to a Jump List

Click Start, and then open the program's Jump List.
Point to the item, click the pushpin icon, and then click Pin to this list.

To unpin an item

Click Start, and then open the Jump List for the program.
Point to the item, click the pushpin icon, and then click Unpin from this list.

Notes

The next time you open an item that you've unpinned, it might reappear in the Jump List. To remove an item from the list, right-click the item, and then click Remove from this list.
To learn how to clear the history from Jump Lists, see Clear lists on the Start menu and taskbar.

What you see in a Jump List depends entirely on the program. The Jump List for Internet Explorer shows frequently viewed websites.Windows Media Player 12 lists commonly played tunes. Is your Jump List missing a favorite? You can "pin" whatever files you like there.

Jump Lists don't just show shortcuts to files. Sometimes they also provide quick access to commands for things like composing new email messages or playing music.
