The most recent machine I'm getting stuck on is running version 2002 with SP3.Uhhh. MCE didn't have an SP3. This must be a kludged one for 'slipstreaming' SP3 and (AFAIK) it's never been successfully done as the SP3 Slipstream overlays many components, including (but not limited to) Media Player. Look for more info on MCE. Also google the following - xp slipstream 'media center edition' msfn for any/all info that MSFN has on hand. There's a lot of info there. Edit - or are you referring to installing SP3 on top of MCE2002?

Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition OEM version 2002 with sp3 on Toshiba laptop Hi All I have a big problem. Pad System Keygen Music there. On my mothers laptop there is installed win xp mce2002sp3 en version and I need to install it again but I can't finde anywhere the installation cd I'm not even sure if she ever have it - usually there was preinstalled version of.

Still, won't work unless you can manage to slip MCE2002 up to v2004 then apply any necessary 'fixes'. (haven't yet tried it). Edited January 12, 2012 by submix8c. SFC will always ask for 'originals' unless. (see post#8) Besides, what do you think is on CD#2? Similar to upgrading a standard SP2 install to SP3.

'newer' files are in a different place. And now that I think about it, I believe your first post may be incomplete - is it asking for 'CD2' or 'Service Pack 2'??? Look and and for various info. At one point SFC asked me for XP Pro SP2 and took the disc no problem, but at the very end of the scan it wants XP Pro CD2. Doesn't specify a version and I've tried single DVD as well as two-CD sets of MCE. Edit - PLEASE give the EXACT message you are getting, letter-for-letter!

A search reveals little since you have both truncated and abbreviated the specific messages. Without that I can assist no longer. BTW, just 'switching' between various versions / builds (CDvsDVD) won't do a lot of good.

You have updated your MCE with SP3 and no known way of accurately slipstreaming SP3 onto any RTM/OEM has been done (AFAIK). I think if you check on that, you'll find that the System expects a SP3 CD installation. Search the WWW on the subject of SFC against XP Home/Pro (not MCE) that was initially installed with (e.g.) SP2 then had SP3 applied then an SFC run to get my drift.

'Insert your Windows XP Professional CD2 now.' Files that are required for Windows to run properly must be copied to the DLL cache. Please insert your Windows XP Professional CD2 now.And. After installing an SP2 version, THEN installing SP3 on top, it, WILL ask for the SP2 cd.

(did you check the links and do searches as I suggested?). Your alternative if you INSIST on running SFC is to UN-install SP3 then run your scan, then re-install SP3. WHY do you want to run SFC anyway? Any particular reason/need? Another reference - AGAIN! Do an Internet Search (Google, Yahoo, Bing, WHATEVER!) using THAT CHARACTER STRING (in quotes) and 'SFC' (without quotes ) and you will (AGAIN!) see what I mean!

You MUST have a 'slipstreamed with SP3' MCE for it to work, and, AGAIN, it is NEAR IMPOSSIBLE to accomplish (e.g. WMP11 gets WIPED when SP3 is slipped).

Search THAT to see what I mean! Universal Creator can also integrate Service Pack 3 inside XP MCE 2005. Follow these steps (some screen are from italian XP but they are easily comprehensible) Where are the images? Every single PNG is missing? Again, I asked what about 'Emerald' files?

Again, there is a second CD. Mine is an actual DVD with 'special' COMMAND.TXT to add in those CAB files (Sonic, etc) -and- Emerald (Rollup 2). Again, Emerald is an odd bird. It's been -extracted- (on my Dell OEM) and a special procedure used to install the sub-components. A hint right here (see that KB referenced?).and here - Please don't disregard my questions as I truly want to know.
