GreenMachine Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 The New Version was fine ... until this latest round of hotfixes came out. Now I am trying to get it working for those. As for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, I don't have a copy, so I cannot say! I would imagine it would be fine ...As soon as I get these last "kinks" out, I'll let those interested take it for a run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotnetboy Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 I am interested in testing the new version when you are accepting beta testers again!Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel Straty Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Windows XP Media Center 2005 is based on WinXP Pro SP2 as I have read in some article so it should work fine as I think as XPCREATE can work with WinXP Pro distributions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashcore Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Windows XP Media Center 2005 is not based on XP SP2 it is XP SP2 with a second CD containing the MCE files. The only problem with it is... it wont fit on one CD so it will be hard to add patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurbycar32 Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 is it out yet? where can i expect it to be announced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigeratiPrime Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 I dont know the construction of the CD's inside and out, but I don't see why adding patches to MCE 2005 CD's is a big deal. From what I understand the only difference is when the user inputs a MCE Product ID and Setup installs the MCE cab files. CD1 is just a XP Pro Disc, and when a MCE key is entered the 'extra' files from cd2 are copied as well. Correct me if if wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henna555 Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Hey Green Machine,Great Job. Just today I was facing a re-install of W2K on a non-networked PC, and I was not at all looking forwards to doing all the hotfixes manually. A program like XPCREATE was just what I had been looking for. Serves Micro$hit right for neglecting one of less revolting product lines and delaying SP5 for W2K indefinitely, to force us to consider WXP anew each month when the PC needs a revitalizing overhaul again.XPCREATE rulez! Its proactive approach in the face of corporate failure reminds me of Spybot Search & Destroy... Maybe you should call it"WinBug Search & Destroy: Eliminate 99% of known bugs and security loopholes even BEFORE you install them first!"Too bad it's between versions, I guess I'll check back again each day.

What's a matter, can't wait ten days?[Offtopic]I dont know man you see last nights game?They pushed it to Game 7!Alot of my family is from New York....but its nice seeing a team like the Red Sox challenging the yanks every so often.[/Offtopic]You mean there were some folks not watching? I don't know about The Team, but I'm sure exhausted!Not that I want to point fingers, but ... look what happened to those cellar teams Seattle and Texas when they got rid of the "Greatest Player In Baseball".If there are any unemployed out there, perhaps now is the time to talk to The Boss about working in N.Y.: I hear there are a lot of openings ...So ... Johnny B. Good, and I know who my Papi is!Happy Birthday, Mickey!Well, we have a couple of off days, so maybe I'll get back to work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hevnbnd Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 GM... MCE2005 works great with xpcreate. I have used it already. Just make sure you move the CMPNENTS folder next to the i386 directory basically the root directory. And it will all fit on one cd if you take the lang and the upgrade folders out. GM my question is why is it necassary for XPCREATE to copy the contents of the XPSOURCE and USERFILESCD to the CDROOT folder in order to create the iso? The step put all the files together takes like 20 mins.... IE my final disk size is close to 4gigs after completion. But it seems to me that there should be some way to create the iso without copying all that data from where it is to another spot just to create the iso... DOES THIS MAKE SENSE?
