I have a Dell PC running Windows Media Center 2005. I upgraded the processor from an Athlon 64 to an Athlon 64 x2 and wanted to reinstall the OS to ensure the hive and whatever else got properly modified. So I booted with the Windows Media Center 2005 (update rollup 2), went to the "repair" option for the OS, let the process reinstall the system files, etc...
When all was done, the system rebooted and then started throwing errors about procedure entry point GetRequestedRuntimeVersion could not be located in the dynamic link library mscoree.dll...Then it eventually does a BSOD and goes into an infinite loop of trying to boot, BSOD, trying to boot, BSOD, etc (safe mode doesn't save things, either--it still crashes and reboots)
WHAT?
I did a little web research and found that this appears to arise from some mistake in how the Media Center reinstall (roll up 2) does its thing, and how it screws up something to do with .Net Framework 1.1. I couldn't find any official Microsoft fix, however.
I even tried to uninstall .Net Framework 1.1 entirely before doing the reinstall, and it still died with the BSOD.
So my question is: Has anyone SUCCESSFULLY reinstall Windows Media Center using the boot DVD? Do I need to go looking for an older version of Windows Media Center install CD and try that? Or...?
Kwad
