~pcwiz Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I was just wondering if you could take the Media Center program from Windows XP MCE (Media Center Edition) and install it on a normal copy of Windows XP Professional.

Suhail Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Why not just use the MCE Edition. It looks so much better (Royale) and has all the features of the Pro Edition Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/81493-take-media-center-program-from-windows-xp-mce-and-install-it-on-normal-xp/#findComment-578163 Share on other sites More sharing options...
InorganicMatter Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 No, it's embedded fairly deep into the operating system. Your best bet is to get XP MCE or Vista Home Premium.

~pcwiz Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 @Suhail, You can get the Royale and Royale Noir themes on a normal XP Pro system I guess I might use a 3rd party Media Center software.

Thiago Campos Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 @Suhail, You can get the Royale and Royale Noir themes on a normal XP Pro system I guess I might use a 3rd party Media Center software. Take a look on Media Portal.

jtreanor Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I think I saw a converter to turn pro to MCE on TPB.

m82a1 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 it is possible, cuz i have done it, theres a disc around the usual places, its a boot disc, which will boot into bartPE, make the changes, then u gota get some updates, and ur set it changes quite a bit actually, i thought it would just add the media centre app, but no, everything is there, screensaver, the theme, the wallaper, pretty sweet if u ask me like i've said, its in the usual places Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/81493-take-media-center-program-from-windows-xp-mce-and-install-it-on-normal-xp/#findComment-611541 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezz Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 It IS possible, when i had XP i had that version installed, its just pro with MCE installed. Someone made a unattended version of it. So illegaly it is possible, just dont ask me how.

REVENGE Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 It is absolutely possible...but I never bookmarked the install guide after I saw it. Google is your friend.

~pcwiz Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 REVENGE, Any chance you remember the site at least or what you searched for maybe? Its pretty hard to find. Also, I just need that single media center program, not the entire MCE install.
