This version also removes the ability for a MCE computer to join an Active Directory domain. The first edition of MCE available to non-Tier 1 system builders, includes support for Media Center Extenders, and CD/DVD-Video burning support.

Note 4: (not related to slipstreaming MCE) Make sure you install media player 10 along with net 1.1 and net 1.1 sp1 or update rollup 2 "KB 900325" will fail to install. Note 3: Replacing "PLUS.CA_" "PLUSOC.DL_" AND "PLUSOC.IN_" makes no difference since sp3 replaces player 10 with 9 and "plus" cab is dependent on player 10 to install.

If these are not important to you than I reccomend this procedure for your tuner card TV and DVR. As a result you won't get digital media enhancments (windows dancer, label maker extra themes) and the sonic burn plugin (create cd or dvd in more programs) since these are dependent on media player 10.

Everything will work but It will give you media player 9 instead of 10 since SP3 replaces player 10 with 9. Note 2: Using this method will give you media center edition with service pack three. Note 1: When installing you must use the "Mastor" optical drive (usually the top drive) as opposed to the "slave" or windows wil not find "components" and you will get a bad result. Make a bootable DVD of the contents of "whatever you like" and install Windows XP Media center edition 2005. When you do it will ask you if you want to replace the files becouse they are different versions. Copy "MEDCTROC.DL", "MEDCTROC.IN" and "MEDIACTR.CA" from the desktop and paste them to the i386 folder of the slipstreamed installation of xp media center edition.

Now that you have slipsteamed you have replaced files needed to install media center so continue to step 4. Combine XP Media Center Edition disk 1 and disk 2 into one folder named "whatever you like" so "components" and disk 1 are in the root of "whatever you like". Copy these files from the "i386" folder of media center disk 1 directory to your desktop: "MEDCTROC.DL_" "MEDCTROC.IN_" and "MEDIACTR.CA_".

I have discovered a way to slipstream xp media center with SP3 : meantime if anyone has a better solution can reply. Have to figure out a way to correct this. Make the necessary changes in the txtsetup.sif as sp3 will remove the changes we made while combining CD1 and CD2Įverything installs correctly, you will endup with windows xp MCE with sp3 but you will have windows media player 9 instead of windows media player 10. Manually copy the files from the ROOT\CMPNENTS\MEDIACTR of the SP3 installation file using a winrar program to the root of the slipstreamed windows xp MCE 2005 SP3 Combine XP MCE 2005 CD1 and CD2 into one Well i have come across with a solution for this file copy error,

Here is some interesting news, may be helpful, you all know when SP3 is integrated into windows xp mediacenter 2005 edition it will downgrade its version from 3.0 to 2.8 and when you install it, it will prompt "cannot copy a file so and so" in the middle of the installation and if you skip that file you will end up with xp professional with sp3.
