Daganl Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I am not sure if most people know this or not, but I would like to say that you can install basically all the microsofts operating systems, as LONG as they are on one single disc.. Last night i installed Windows Media Center Edition(I just prefer the mce gui over the original xp gui) and it worked fine.. mine is a official one dvd disc.. So if you want the mce look and you have it on one disc.. just plug it in and it should work fine, but just remember to have the serial number ready becuase you can't eject the disc.. thats also the reason why they ask that you to not use mce (usually comes in 2 discs) just thought i tell you guys.. that is.. if you didnt already know...

bluedragon1971 Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 If all you want is the Royale theme (the GUI theme in Media Center), all you have to do is download it: http://download.microsoft.com/download/A/C...DD9F/royale.zip That is the official version of it, straight from Microsoft's New Zealand branch (for some reason, it's not available on any of their other sites). edit: that link appears to be broken now, but here is a mirror of it: http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Roya...load-13027.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John the Geek Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 nice! how did you find it? but anywayz, the point of this thread to let people know that you can basically install all windows as long as they are on one disc.. Hmm... no "paperclip" ejects anymore? That does pose a problem. =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igul222 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 you could try making an unattended install and loading the boot camp driver for the keyboard (with eject key) automatically during setup, and using it to install xp mce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
