Can vista be installed in an hp computer without first using the hp upgrade assistant.

Feb. 2007 I bought an HP Pavillion that was advertised as Vista ready, all I had to do was send the form and get the upgrade in the mail.  Well, I got it but am just now getting around to installing.  When I insert the HP Upgrade Assistant, which the instructions say to do, I get a message that it is not compatible with this version of Windows.  I have Windows XP Media Center installed on my computer.  HP is now telling me I don't have to use the assistant disc before I install the upgrade but why would the instructions caution me to insert the assistant first?  Has anyone else experienced this?

The  HP Upgrade Assistant will identify and pre-install most necessary drivers. The HP Support website will continue to be updated with drivers, allowing customers to easily update their PCs.

Hence it will be better to follow hp upgrade assistant if you want to avoid any headache in installation.
