[AddOn] Media Center 2005 (English) January 24 2012

[ENU_user]

Hey rick, can you checkout this post: http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5393#84407

That fix enu_user provided seems to add a new functionality. I think you'd be interested.

yes i thought if it should work, it would, but with an mc addon ...

thanks MrNxDmX for linking me to the updated addon

I really forgot about this one, thanks again mate

[ricktendo]

Yes, will try

BTW it will be a seperate addon

Update: made a Dancer thing for Vista but unfortunately it does not detect the sound

[orbit30]

Vista Ultimate users, but man do we love XP

[freeheart4sale]

You have to add it, either svcpack or onepiece's true addon

looking for the .net framework addon to make this awesome media center work, guess i'm not searching for the proper words, any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks for the media ctr addon rick

[ricktendo]

Any .NET AIO svcpack or OnePieces .NET true addon will do

Search on RyanVM or RogueSpear Forums you will definately find one

[qwesta]

rick, does this include all updates up to the present or?

[ricktendo]

YES I say on the 1st page

Info: This is a true addon that fully converts Windows XP Profesional into Windows Media Center Edition 2005 along with Update Rollup 2, KB925766 and Dancer does not start when music plays updates.

You could probably do as I did and make a Turkish version, use the INF and MUI files to directly patch the ehome, createdisc and plus program files

tanks a lot Rick

did that for Dutch and wurks like a charm

nLite complains about medctroc.inf missing when I start it up again after integrating this, and media center doesn't actually get installed. My computer does say media center edition though I'm going to try and fix it, but I felt like I should let you know.

[ricktendo]

XP Home or Pro?

Make sure you use Pro and not on a previous nLited iso

[alurcard2]

Pro, and you're right, it's because I used an already nLited iso

[jdd]

Can i add this to my xp cause i have your old version of MCE installer can i integrate it again ?

and btw i already integrated this update pack RyanVM update pack 1.0.1 will it affect updates on xp pro when i integrate your mce installer ?

jdd, if the old addon is replaced with more or less the same files from the new its possible.

@ TheSickman

How did you do it and can you explain it in Dutch or @ http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=10 ?

[ricktendo]

Once I finish this I will open up the requests for me translating it into more langs, you will have to do a little translating of one of the INF files (plusoc.inf) and upload the MSI with the mui files plus I will explain the steps I took to do this

[Raoul]

Allright. Thanks.

Updated Oct 29th 2008, now includes Away mode

Also fixed Movie Maker transition effects registration and ehome and sonic files registration during 1st user login is much improved (no longer use RunOnceEx)

I'm having some trouble if somebody could help me out. this is my first time using nlite.. just downloaded it to try and make this cd.

first I downloaded the 7z file and opened up nlite.. popped in my winxp pro sp3 32bit cd and it copied th efiles to a folder on my harddrive.. pressed next and clicked on the integrate addon .. clicked next and choose the 7z file.. added fine and everything.. then ran through that again but chose to burn it to an iso.. and then once more and chose to burn the iso to a disc..

then i restarted with the dvd left in.. and booted from it.. started installing windows.. entered my serial code and got past that part.. but now it's stuck on this:

the file 'kb925766rg.inf' on windows xp professional cd2 is needed.

i tried inserting both of the cds and none is finding it.. not sure what to do.. or what I did wrong?

it's on the fourth green installing dot in the process.

[ricktendo]

Crap...my fault

EDIT: Nope, I looked and I see nothing in my INF's that would cause this, that file has been removed long ago...can you check the file with a MD5 checksumer and post your MD5

Are you are trying to update the addon without making a new session?

Are you are just copying the files into your already made disc?

Looks like you are using a old inf with a new cab

[benjammin]

thanks for this!!! I was using mrdmx's until he discontinued it...

I had some troubles at first... but they were all my fault as I had SENS service disabled (not removed via components) and it causing errors with the MCE part of the installation (everything else was fine)... finally figured it out and all seems to be working flawlessly... thanks a TON!!!

p.s. I will add my list of addons and order of integration, for others to reference... (I use quite a few addons)

I had SENS service disabled (not removed via components)

I want to add, I also protect stuff from being removed with nLite that the media center needs using my entries.ini (that includes SENS)

;This section prevents nessesary "Components" from removal by nLite (v1.4.9 and up)

too bad it can't keep people from disabling necessary services as well... I'm just glad I read the entries ini finally and thats how I figured it out...

hehe... no worries though man... it wasn't at all your problem!!! another great addon!!!

First answer my questions here

Seems like you are using a old inf with a new cab, that may be the problem

Just make a new iso with the new addon and don't try to manually update a old session by copying the new files into it (which is what I am assuming you tried to do)
