I went ahead and tried your suggestions, running nlite on xp and adding back some components. Still the same error. I then set the tweaks and options like "remove duplicate files" back to default and the install went through perfectly. But when I tried to run Media Center ehshell.exe started complaining that dbgeng.dll was missing. Looking around it looks dbeng.dll deals with the debugging engine but I'm not sure what needs to be preserved so it's not removed. Dr Watson seems to be dependent on it as well but I think removing Dr Watson doesn't affect the dll.

Hi, thanks. It's a one disc install with sp3 already integrated. I installed it without using nlite and everything was good so the disc should be fine. I'll try nlite this time on the freshly installed MCE and report back.

Hi, I've been trying to get an nlite'd Windows Media Center Edition 2005 working but during the installation I get a popup telling me Media Center failed to install. After I dismiss the popup the installation completes normally and everything is fine except for Media Center. I checked to preserve Media Center in nlite but it still fails every time. Here's my lastsession.ini, any insight on what needs to be kept? LAST SESSION.INI Here is also the log produced during the installation. MedCtrOC.txt Thanks.
