error upgrading windows xp home

I was told to upgrade to Windows Vista by opening the setup file from within Windows XP in order to upgrade the software to Windows Vista.
Unfortuantly, I get this error when attempting to install like that:
"The application or DLL C:\VISTA\Sources\SPWIZENG.DLL is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette."
Anyone know why I am getting this?

Did you launch setup from within Windows or by booting from the DVD? Did you use Virtual Drive software? Have you tried burning the software at a lower speed, 2x or extract contents of the ISO Image to a folder in XP and launch setup from there?

1. Like I previously said, I launched it from within Windows, according to a Windows Vista Guide I saw online in order to upgrade from Windows XP.
2. I did try virtual drive software, or Deamon Tools (spelling may be off), and no progress.
3. Yes, I have tried at the lowest speed and extracting the contents to a folder in Windows XP and launched it from there, but same error.
