Miscellaneous information
If all else fails...
The Media Center Extender team at Microsoft regularly monitors the newsgroup named Microsoft.Public.Windows.MediaCenter to search for Xbox 360 PC setup issues. If you run into issues installing or configuring an Xbox 360 as a Windows Media Center extender, please search that newsgroup for similar issues, and if none are found, please post a new thread there so that the team will be more likely to see the issues and respond to them in a timely manner.
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
