I have had issues intergrating SP3 RC2 with the MCE. On the first attempt I ended up with Win XP Pro installed and no Media Center. The second attempt had issues during the install phase and ended up with even less functionality. With it not being the final release going to wait before I move on to intergration of the service pack. If you must rather just install the service pack on a MCE machine with at least SP2 installed there are known issues with SP1 and I bet plenty more unknown issues. At least you will be able to uninstall it if needed. I don't think they have updated the windows update site to handle SP2 RC2 yet, when checking for updates only MSR Tool and Dot Net updates are shown but when trying to install MP11 I requires MCE update rollup. SP2 RC2 seems pretty much up to spec for XP but maybe not for XP MCE yet.

Works Like a Charm Thanks I want to retain the Repair Installation in text mode so [unattended] and OemPreinstall is out of the question to copy SFX to %systemdrive% During GUI Setup I wanted to extract a password protected SFX at roughly the same time as Product Key, User, Computer Name etc(T-39 to T-33). Then bugger off and let my RunonceEx Install Reboot etc. No stupid questions to halt the install. Job Done I can finally run my sfx off the CD Rom from Detachedprogram Thanks
