'\cmpnents\mediactr\i386' folder. It was searchin for "mcdftreg.inf", the type of files was "mcdftreg.inf,mcdftreg.in_"(if

i'm not mistaken). But the Mediactr.cab was there but it wasnt able 2 c it due 2 the type of file.!

That time no icons were seen while browsin.

when u slipstream mce2002 with win xp xp2 u get MCE 2005

wmp 10 comes only with mce 2005 so in order to include wmp10 searche the forum or unattened site

now Windows xP Professional CD2 is the 2nd cd of MCE its only a name dont worry about it .

"mcdftreg.inf" is in the medctr.cab file of cmpnents\i386 folder of MCE CD2

if u not insert CD2 it willnot install "Media Center" so u get Win XP SP2 Professional

I am sorry WHEN U SLPSTREAM SP2 over MCE 2002 u get MCE 2004

::::

to overcome that extract the SP2 to some folder ((thepacked file wiibe around 266MB and after extraction the folder will be around 350MB)

goto \I386\update\ip \cmpnents !! i think so !!!

or get the cmpnents dirctory from the extracted sp2 folder thAT U HAV GO BY SEARCHING copy to the root of u r cd

i think it will contain all the files required

NOTE :: the slipstreaming environment too must be MCE in order to get the slipstreaming MCE to work correctly ((ie u must perform slipstreaming mce 2002 in an mce environment to get mce 2004))

then only copy the cmpnets folder to the root of cd

install with MCE cd key

[akudacompwiz]

Hey Hey Hey... lemme get dis satrait... da cd is not pirated its a oem cd (got frm a re-seller 30 days version)

[Innocent Devil]

What is 30 day version?

is it a trial version ?

i dont think m$ put a 30 day trial

or it is the activation days remaining?

[cyanide]

none of the resellers have mce...its only available with oem pcs...you can not buy it from anywhere...

and theres no 30day trial version of it...

if you wanna prove that its not pirated, show a pic of the disc itself...

[Innocent Devil]

[akudacompwiz]

Has anyone noticed he's trying to slipstream sp2 into a folder that has sp1

already integrated into, don't shoot me but i'm pretty sure thats a no no..

It has to be a non service pack installation to slipstream sp2 into..
