I did a little research, from what I can tell you cant slipstream spk3 into windows mce. I got the slipstream in and windows up and it appears to be fine. When I click on the start button the IE icon at the top of the list is gone but I can get it back by editing the start button. In all programs list - only a few things show up. Other than that it looks like it installed fine. All I did was take a MCE 2005 disk 1, copied the folder from disk 2 over to the folder I copied disk 1 into. Used Nlite, ran the slipstream. Installed the updates ( except IE 7 - Media player 11 - dot net stuff - I only installed updates that were KB files. I unchecked DIRECT HOTFIX INTERGRATION. After that no problems. BEST WAY TO GET THE UPDATES.. On a different PC I installed MCE 2005, I did no updates but I put in SPK3, I rebooted. I ran autopatcher, it get all the updates and puts them into a folder called critical and recommend. I installed SPK3 first, so autopatcher only gets the updates that are needed for after that service pack. I fed these updates into nlite and way we went. IE 7 and media player 11 are not in it yet. I plan on taking my newly made MCE spk3 with updates cd, I may try later to slipstream IE 7 and media player 11 into it.
