SFC asks for Win XP Pro CD2

[dencorso]

What is "Emerald", if I may be so bold as to as ask?

A quite nice shade of green, of course.

More seriously, it's just some jargon, it is interesting how it is coming from someone recommending to watch terminology, but don't worry, those in the knows use a lot of these codenames, original source is probably Paul Thurrot:

Back in early June 2005, I had some folks from the former eHome Division at Microsoft over for a meeting about Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 Update Rollup 2 (UR2, codenamed Emerald), a product revision that was originally due in August but was recently delayed until later this year.

and this should tell you something....

 

As a side note, I have the feeling that the OP *somehow* managed to solve the problem in the almost 4 (four years) that passed before  Dibya posted his advice.

Sure! Then again, Dibya seems to like some archeology...  

BTW, do you think there may be an Emerald Pill? Since there's a Red Pill and a Blue Pill...

Naaah, no emerald pill , but there is an Emerald Tablet (actually not that kind of tablet ), which has a lot to do with both knowledge and archeology:

On-Topic - I have what's *supposed* to be an SP3 Update Pack specifically made for MCE2005 (and can't remember the link to it *or* have it tucked away in a DOC/TXT file) that (theroetically) can be added to an SP3 Clean Source, thus "converting" it into MCE2005 (AFAICR) aldo pulled from Wincert (again, AFAICR). I believe it may have been Ricktendo that created it.

 

By pulling the "Emerald" Update from my DVD, I would have "Symphony" (the one released to OEM System Builders). It isn't any particular shade of Blue but plays a great concert, if you're into classical music.

This is a known SP3 issue.

 

The Unofficial SP4 fixes this.
