Install W7, then install it again and it will activate.
You left out a few steps so your advice won't work. When you do what it takes to make it work, it's not legit, MS knows about it and did something about it, you may be able to work around what they did for now, but it's still not legit and could ultimately leave a user hanging high and dry with an unactivated product. So... bad advice.
I can get the upgrade version for a low cost... So I was wondering if the upgrade version can do clean installs.
If you're installing on a new drive, why not just buy an OEM copy? They're the same price roughly of a retail upgrade.
YES!!!
The regedit method works really great for me.

Put in upgrade version, install win7, when it asks for a key, skip it.
Get to desktop, insert CD again, this time click on "upgrade" and enter key.
I just did it.
