Media Center 2005

Post by scott.laptopguy » Thu Apr 03, 2008 8:12 am

Did Microsoft release an official version of Media Center 2005 that came with Roll up 2 already integrated? I have only come across disk sets with 3 disks (disk 1: install, disk2: components dir, disk3: roll up installer)

I'm working on building a Media Center install but have run into some issues. I know Electrogen is working on a pack, but I am trying to find a solution for now.

No, it would be nice. What's worse is that MS is releasing SP3 for MCE online only.
EDIT: Hold on, do we count Vista's Media Center software? :lol: Nah.

nice work mrnxdmx, ill give it a run tomorrow and see what happens.

Now I just gotta figure out why .net 1.0 sp3 fails. It installs but qfecheck fails for it. Im assuming it has something to do with RogueSpears .net 1.1 installer but have not confirmed it yet.

I would assume it has to do with that .NET 1.1 addon too, at least under MCE 2005. i.e. might not be a problem on other versions of Windows.

Im going to see if I cant get KB930494 to install before 1.1. That might fix the issue.

If you get an error when you are trying to set up the media center (because of the .Net 1.1 issue) then all you have to do is run this command

Code: Select all

%WinDir%\ehome\medctrro.exe /p /o RunOnce
Ive edited my medctroc.inf to run this during 1st login instead of t13

Code: Select all

[Setup_Reg]


HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\Setup","MCE",,"REG ADD ""HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce"" /V ""eh_a"" /T REG_SZ /D ""%10%\ehome\medctrro.exe /p /o RunOnce"""



;HKLM, "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce",              "eh_a",      0,        "%10%\ehome\medctrro.exe /p /o RunOnce"
