win77 Upgrade Windows 7 7000 to Windows 7 RC 7100

Till now you might have downloaded the RC from torrents or MSDN/Technet.Now if your on WIndows 7 7000 Beta build and you want to upgrade to the latest RC 7100 you need to follow some steps so that you will be able to upgrade to RC build.

Steps:

Copy the contents of the RC iso to a folder.This can be done by mounting the ISO using Poweriso or IsoBuster.If its not a ISO then its much simpler.
Now open Source directory within Windows 7 Copied files & folder.
Open the file cversion.ini in Notepad.
Replace miniclient value from 7100 to any lower build for e.g 7100 to 7000 as shown in pic below.
Now Save the file cversion.ini and your done.
Run Setup again and upgrade.
Same steps hold good when upgrading from RC to RTM build which is rumoured to be out September 09.
