Using nLite to slipstream Media Center 2005

[cubalibre00]

Hi to all,

I tried to find answers from this forum and from the Media Center forum, but unfortunately I didn't found them.

Someone can help me ?

1)Why if on nLite I decide to keep Media Center, but I want to delete DOTNETFX folder with the nLite option "removing Framework", it removes the NETFX folder ?

MCE need NETFX folder not all two, or not ?

It's a bug/limitation ?

2)Why nLite don't put the two string medctr = on and

netfx = on if detect the option "keep Media Center" ?

If not, we install XP Pro from a MCE installation.

Or better, nLite need a new option ?

3)I slipstreamed a MCE 2005 installation, but when I start MCE from Start->All Program->Accessories->Media Center an error appear :

ehshell.exe error, DBGENG.DLL not found.

If I put the DBGENG.DLL from the original installation to the ehshell.exe directory of the slipstreamed MCE 2005, MCE works fine.

What I must to keep into the slipstreaming process to avoid this problem ?

Thank you to all,

from Alessandro

P.S:Sorry for my bad English

1. Yes Framework will be protected in next version

2. Ok then it will be like that

3. Save Dump Utility, so seems that this one should be protected as well.

Thank you, great post.

Side Request::

To integrate Rollup Update 2 to MCE 2005 via nLite

Also make nLite to recognize MCE

like cubalibre00 said keep netfx and medctr folders in cmpnents if media center componet is no removed

and remove tabletpc folder (vice versa for tabletpc component)

[bledd]

also, if keeping MCE, all media player options should be hidden too

[nuhi]

@bledd, ah true.

@Innocent Devil, don't tell me that you see tabletpc and media center folders in Directories like separate removal option from normal components?

Step by step we'll make that MCE support even before I get trial version.

Hi Nuhi,

it works well with your suggestion.

Thank you a lot,

I used nLite to slipstream a MCE DVD from a DELL system... Media Center WOULD NOT WORK until after I re-installed .NET v1.0, v1.1 SP1, and v2.0, followed by the Rollup 2 package.

After installing the Rollup 2 package, all was fine. I was very worried there for a second.

Was that MCE 2005 or 2004? As long as I know MCE 2005 doesn't install well if the framework 1.0 is removed from the DVD components folder (there's a MCE component called SONIC BURNING ENGINE that gives an error during the setup if the framework is not present).
