Hi,

When installing the xboxmcelite_enu.exe file, the installing starts and
continues until it gets to 'Installing Windows Media Connect' software. At
this point, the the software just keeps displaying the progress boxes, but it
isn't doing anything.

I have left it running for over 2 hours, and it still doesn't ever get to
the point where I'm supposed to enter the xbox360 code. I looked at the task
manager, and the system idle process is consuming 99%, and nothing else
appears to be taking cpu cycles.

I did try to install WMC 2.0 directly, and the xbox can see the shared files
on the Media Center 2005 PC. I tried to reinstall the extender software with
the install of WMC 2.0, but it still just sits there. I've since uninstalled
the WMC 2.0 software and tried to reinstall the xboxmcelite_enu extender
software, but I still get in what appears to be an infinite loop.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Marc
