Media Center Edition 2005 RC0 Install

Post by ultrawindows »

Hello,

I want to try the Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 RC0, but I can't get it working. The NFO said the following:
Here we bring you the second Installer with MCE 2005 RC0 #2160!

Works on CORP/RETAIL/OEM Copies of Windows XP and Windows 2003


!! REMEMBER n00bs: DONT INSTALL THIS ON HOME COPIES OF XP !!

Tested on: XP SP1 EN a. DE / XP SP2 #2160 / XP SP2 #2180 EN a. DE
So, I tried it on Windows XP Pro SP1 EN/DE and Media Center (2002) but it don't work.
After the installation and when I will run Media Center Edition, I got this:

During the installation, there are some errors:

I reinstalled .NET Framework (v.1.0/1.1/1.1sp1) too, but same result.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this isn't actually a Microsoft official installer for Media Center 2005 RC0, it's a hacked together installer that converts Professional into Media Center. I could never get any of those working, so it doesn't surprise me in the slightest that it'd broken here as well.

Actually the installer is a xBetas hacked one, but the content (files) are real.
