Nocturnal Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I have the OEM disks of Windows Media Center 2005.I have two disks, both CDs.I want to slipstream SATA RAID drivers as well as SP3.I tried doing it the normal way but upon adding the files I was told that it needs the source from the 2nd CD. I put the CD in and pointed it to the files.I went along and burnt it and was able to install Windows but there are many things missing such as IE, all of the Media Center functions as well.How do I properly slipstream Windows Media Center Edition 2005?

johnhc Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Nocturnal, we'll take a look, please attach (not paste) your Last Session.ini. Make sure to always start with a fresh copy of your CD files/folders, do all your work in one nLite session and integrate only one SP. Enjoy, John.

showerx Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I got the same problem, in order to get IE to work I have to go to add/remove programs and install it.If any one knows what to do please let me know..ThanksLast_Session.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnhc Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 showerx, your Last Session is very simple and I see nothing out of order if you followed the basic rules I specified before. I know little about MCE (never used it), but I remember some discussions in the past about only certain versions of MCE could install SP3. I think you and Nocturnal also need to do some research to see if you should be applying SP3 to your MCE. Please let us know what you learn. Enjoy, John.

showerx Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 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.

Nocturnal Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hey guys, I did some research after this post as well as some experimenting and actually re-did the slipstream with just the SATA drivers and sure enough I was 1) able to include both disks onto one DVD and 2) install it without any problems. I did have to leave SP3 off. So apparently you cannot slipstream SP3 with MCE2005 OEM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
