Oh my god people. What he is saying is that he has managed to extract the MCE2005 components and install them on a Vista system. Is it that hard to understand?!

I would think he did it the same way that you put MCE on XP Home, pro and Server 2003 environments.

Put the Ehome folder in there, set up the registry keys, and bam.

Someone give this a shot for me, I've installed MCE2005 onto XP home/pro and Server 2003, I'll list you through all the steps I took to get it working, it seems that it will work in Vista b1 also.

On a new install, get all the drivers for your hardware working, Tuner card, MPEG2 decoders, audio.

Next copy these files from an already working MCE2005 install to a temp location

%SystemRoot%\Windows\eHome\custsat.dll

%SystemRoot%\Windows\Inf\medctroc.inf

%SystemRoot%\Windows\Inf\plusoc.inf

%SystemRoot%\Windows\Inf\sonic.inf

%SystemRoot%\Windows\System32\CatRoot

%SystemRoot%\Windows\System32\EHOCGEN.DLL

%SystemRoot%\Windows\System32\encdec.dll

%SystemRoot%\Windows\System32\MEDCTROC.DLL

%SystemRoot%\Windows\System32\Mpeg2Data.ax

%SystemRoot%\Windows\System32\msvidctl.dll

%SystemRoot%\Windows\System32\PLUSOC.DLL

%SystemRoot%\Windows\System32\quartz.dll

%SystemRoot%\Windows\System32\sbe.dll

%SystemRoot%\Windows\System32\sbeio.dll

%SystemRoot%\Windows\System32\vbicodec.ax

%SystemRoot%\Windows\System32\wstpager.ax

%SystemRoot%\Windows\System32\wstrenderer.ax

%SystemRoot%\Windows\System32\wstrendr.ax

%SystemRoot%\Windows\System32\CatRoot\{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE}\MEDIACTR.CAT

%SystemRoot%\Windows\System32\CatRoot\{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE}\PLUS.CAT

%SystemRoot%\Windows\System32\CatRoot\{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE}\SONIC.CAT

Now start regedit and export the following keys:

* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup

* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\MediaCenter

On your Vista Install, Place the Files where you got them from back into the new install

Next RegSvr32 all of the dll's and import the keys.

Place the Windows MCE 2005 CD2 into your Optical Drive and run "rundll32 syssetup,SetupInfObjectInstallAction Freestyle 128 medctroc.inf"

When it asks for files point it at the MEDIACTR.CAB and let it run. After it completes wait a few minutes (or wait until the ngen process ends) and reboot. Now again copy the saved files from you XP box over the existing files and register them again. Now reboot you PC. Your done

Just start MCE to start the wizard.

If you want the add-ons that came with MCE 2005 you may want to run the following commands:

* rundll32 syssetup,SetupInfObjectInstallAction PlusTheme 128 plusoc.inf

* rundll32 syssetup,SetupInfObjectInstallAction PlusSpac 128 plusoc.inf

* rundll32 syssetup,SetupInfObjectInstallAction PlusGold 128 plusoc.inf

* rundll32 syssetup,SetupInfObjectInstallAction PlusDavn 128 plusoc.inf

* rundll32 syssetup,SetupInfObjectInstallAction PlusNatr 128 plusoc.inf

* rundll32 syssetup,SetupInfObjectInstallAction PlusMpix 128 plusoc.inf

* rundll32 syssetup,SetupInfObjectInstallAction PlusDancer 128 plusoc.inf

* rundll32 syssetup,SetupInfObjectInstallAction PlusParty 128 plusoc.inf

* rundll32 syssetup,SetupInfObjectInstallAction PlusAudio 128 plusoc.inf

* rundll32 syssetup,SetupInfObjectInstallAction PlusCDLM 128 plusoc.inf

Or just save this as a Bat file to copy all the stuff over

COPY %SystemRoot%\eHome\custsat.dll C:\temp\Windows\eHome\

COPY %SystemRoot%\Inf\medctroc.inf C:\temp\Windows\Inf\

COPY %SystemRoot%\Inf\plusoc.inf C:\temp\Windows\Inf\

START REGEDIT.EXE /E C:\temp\reg1.reg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup

START REGEDIT.EXE /E C:\temp\reg2.reg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\MediaCenter

I'll edit this soon to write the reverse bat file plus the registering, I havnt tested any of this, its just how it works, the bat file was done off the top of my head also, comment if I made any mistakes

Heres the final one, just copy C:\temp to the new install

COPY C:\temp\Windows\Ehome\custat.dll %SystemRoot%\Ehome /y

COPY C:\temp\Windows\Inf\ %SystemRoot%\Inf\medctroc.inf /y

What's the point in slipstreaming MCE into Vista ? Vista will have it's own MCE, which will be far more better than the current one AND will be adapted for the architecture. Assuming someone gets it to work, it would still be slow as hell, because the graphics drivers can barely get the DWM effects to show at the moment.

I dont see why you need DWM to get MCE slipstreamed into vista. I think you could just run it on a vista backend, and have a MCE frontend with no DWM, its not like it existed in XP and it was designed for that, so I dont think there is any DWM for MCE that could be used anyway
