JasonGW Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 (edited) Hi, is there any way of getting the media center out of Windows Media Center Edition and nliting it into Windows XP Pro?Go to the MCE forum, it's actually fairly easy. You'll find a file called "add_mce.exe". Download it. Copy the files from CD2 of a legit Media Center edition CD to a folder in your hard drive. Burn those files to a new CD, with the "add_mce.exe" file at the root of that CD. The rest of the file system structure should be identical to the original CD2.Pop that CD into your XP pro box's CDROM drive, run "add_mce.exe", sit back and wait. Takes about 10 minutes to install, it will reboot your system and change your default theme to that glossy Luna thing, and then you're done. Enjoy.I think the title of the actual post is something like "Ultimate Windows XP" or some such thing. Edited January 19, 2007 by JasonGW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrozenBlade Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 Ok, I have hit a problem, after a bit of searching and reading I have found out that there doesn't seem to be a way to actually Nlite the Media Center into Windows XP Pro, does anybody now how to actually integrate the media center into XP pro so that I can do a clean install and have Media Center installed when Windows is installed? Because it is pretty inconvienient having to play around with system files and the registry every time i format my computer which is quite often.

ChrisKuhli Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 First: Copy the directory structure of MCE Disk2 to your XPCD Folder. Try that with nLite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
