Can’t install Update Rollup 2

Modified By Soumitra Sengupta on 3/26/2007 8:26:58 PM)

The Problem:-Every time I try to install rollup 2 it gives me a message that I need to have XP Media Center 2005,but I am already using Windows XP Media Center 2005.

Resolution:-Start>Run>Regedit>OK

Now navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center/Ident

The ident number should be 3.0.If not then change it.Restart.

There is also a cool utility -‘Media Center Ident Set’. This application allows you to set your Media Center systems ident value to any other releases version which used this flag, or set the value to what it should be automatically.Check it here how to:-

my OS is also XP MCE 2005. But, The Update RollUp 2 can't install on my system. Also, The MediaCenter is not opening correctly. Whenever i open the MediaCenter, it displays the following error:

ehshell.exe - Common Language Runtime Debugging Services

Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.

Process id-0x96c(2412), Thread id=0x9c(156).

Click OK to terminate the application.

Click CANCEL to debug the application.

Is there any way to reset or reinstall the MediaCenter application ?
