I have Windows media center 2005 supposedly installed on my machine,
but there is no media center program, and nothing to suggest that i
actually have the correct OS installed. I have never had any other OS
such as Pro or home installed on this PC, and yet everytime i try to
install the Xbox 360 media extender, or the standalone roll-up 2 link,
i get an error saying that these programs can only be installed on
Windows Media Center 2005. I have tried re-installing without restoring
my OS drive, which would be the last resort.

Is there a way to fix this with any kind of update, or something off of
the two MCE disks, without having to restore my drive?

See http://salloway.org.uk/mediacenter/2004/version.htm to determine the
version you have. If it is correct, you may need to make a registry change.
Open REGEDIT and go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center

Look for the Ident value in the right pane. If it is incorrect for your
version, change it as indicated on Mark's page.
