arablizzard2413 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Ah hem... beta? Why aren't you using a legal retail/oem copy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totoymola Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 I had the same problem with my MCE 2004 (OEM). As you know, MCE 2004 includes SP1 only. So when I integrated SP2 to it, it can't locate the files. But there is a solution to that. Go to the i386\Media Center folder (I can't remember the exact path) and extract the contents of the cab file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alkmie Posted February 3, 2005 Author Share Posted February 3, 2005 arablizzard2413hp customers can upgrade to 2005 for only ship and handlinghttp://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/documen...&dlc=en〈=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arablizzard2413 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Well then if HP Costomers can receive an upgrade disc, then why did you call it "beta"? If you got it from them, it isn't the pre-release beta that's floating around the internet, it's a full (past the beta stage) OEM version of the software and not a beta.When you made this multiboot cd, did you simply rename the folder from I386 to IMCE? If you did you should know that you need to modify files in the IMCE folder so setup can continue (it's searching for files in the wrong place). The file should be setupldr.bin (may have spelled it wrong), and the instructions for changing it are part of Gosh's guide (and many others).Edit: Errg, I'm in a bad mood today and I don't know why... don't take it TOO personaly, that's just how I am sometimes.

dnrc Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 whoa mate go easy on the guy, he could have made a typo. what are you, the police?anyway, alkmie are you sure it's a prob with cd2 because the file in the error pic you posted is off cd1. check your txtsetup.sif file and make sure this line points to the right placeSetupSourcePath = "\SETUP\MCES\" (this is just where mine goes)as for the cd2 stuff, you just need to copy the contents of the cmpnents folder on cd2 to cd1 and it will all install.
