June 28, 200521 yr I want to confirm that RyanVM's Update Pack v1.2.2 works with MCE 2005. I used nlite to integrate the update pack, and later copied over the WMP9-Less INF's. The last step is you need to replace these 4 files in the I386 directory with the original ones from your MCE cd (for wmp10):DRMV2CLT.DL_WMNETMGR.DL_WMP.DL_WMVCORE.DL_However there are still MCE specific hotfixes that arent included in the Update Pack, such as: Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 Update Rollup 1 (KB873369)KB888316KB890629Q890760Q895678These can be installed during Windows Setup with RunOnceEx.cmd Edited June 29, 200521 yr by DigeratiPrime
August 8, 200521 yr I don't know... Tried your way, my way (no copying or whatnot, just let Windows sort it out ) and still I'm having issues... Can't remember what though so your method probably works fine. I think it was something like WMP 10 not installed correctly. Which is ALWAYS a pain.
August 8, 200521 yr Author Well i was able to get WMP10 working with ryans update pack and mce. However due to the number of problems ryans pack introduced I'am no longer using it. I feel the updates are over-rated for the most part, and will wait for sp3 before i risk breaking the system.

He doesn't introduce 'em, Microsoft does. Just use the Lite pack, that'll strip things down to just the updates.
August 12, 200521 yr Author well i only used the LITE pack, but a certain hotfix (KB885250) causes files and folders to sometimes not appear over a network, with ryanvms update pack there is no way to uninstall the hotfix. see: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=46308Also there are/have been compatibility programs with Bashrats Driverpacks which i value more then the hotfixes by a wide margin.Furthermore Ryans been distracted and hasnt updated the packs in a while, though i know a new version is in the works. He's actually getting married today! Congrats Ryan!http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=351 Edited August 12, 200521 yr by DigeratiPrime

Congrats Ryan!http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=351<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Yah... I heard. Bless 'im, I say. Real life should always take precedent over us ungrateful louts. Or rather... Grateful louts with a few bad seeds thrown in. RyanVM is a patient, loving cat. I'd be totally unable to put up with the constant "Ryan's betrayed us..." crap.
