Please log in for more thread options In a 3 disk set for Window Media Center Edition 2005, Disk 1 is Windows XP
Pro with SP2, Media Center bits is on Disk 2, Disk 3 is the Rollup 2 update,
Requires Net Framework 1.1 and the update for Net Framework 1.1.
You will be asked for disk 1, then disk 2, back to disk 1. After you have
Media Center running and connect on the internet you can install Net
Framework 1.1, then Disk 3 will do Rollup 2.
