vinodh Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 The way I understand it, MCE 2005 is XP Pro with the capability of joining a domain removed. The 2nd disc is just a add-on disc that installs the media center components onto XP Pro. So, XP Pro is ver 2002, so MCE 2005 is also ver 2002.

MagicAndre1981 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 XP MCE = XP Prof + Media Center.To figure with version you have, start the MC, click on settings->common ->Info->software version.The 2002 is hardcoded als an recource in the file sysdm.cpl.
