Hi Ben,

Do you have 6.06 installed? If so, you don't need an .iso for the 
upgrade, especially if you have a high speed internet connection. 
Following the instructions on the link I sent will result in your 
downloading and installing what you need for the upgrade.

As I mentioned, I upgraded yesterday from 6.06 to 6.4 to 7.04. I didn't 
use an .iso or a disc. During one of the upgrades (and I don't remember 
which one) I was asked if I had a disc for the upgrade that could be 
used instead of downloading the files. I didn't have one so I said no 
and it did the upgrade anyway.
