hi,

i have a question for you and any help would be greatly appreciated. my media center crashes whenever my 360 connects to media center. ie, when media center on the 360 is running i cant open any folders without media center on the pc crashing. i thought it had to do with the recent updates of media center but i still have the problem after uninstalling the updates. any ideas????

Hi Aaron, I can't install the XboxMCE5Lite-enu.exe. I am currently running XP Media Centre Edition 2005 and have updated to the Rollup 2 for the Media Centre and I have updated XP to SP3. When I try to install XboxMCE5Lite-enu, it will download but when it tries to install this following error message appears in the Media Centre screen...

Setup Error

There is a problem with the installation of Windows XP Media Centre Edition 2005. Uninstall the update to Media Centre Edition 2005 and then re-install the update from the Windows Update website. Then run Media Centre Extender Setup again

Not sure what update for MCE2005 I need the un-install and re-install.

I have looked for an exe for the MCE2005 Extender, but can't find it anywhere.

When I connect the Ethernet cables a message pops up saying that the "Xbox Entender is connected" and requires setup via the xbox website.

Not sure what other info I can provide you .

Thank you in advance

Hi MattSmith - I think you may be running into an issue that is similar to the one that I described in my blog post at http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2008/05/23/8539785.aspx. Can you please take a look at that post and see if the workaround described there helps in your scenario?
