When I try to install this update for Windows Media Center 2005 the setup
fails, even when I've downloaded it manually. Removing .net framework 1.1 or
components wont help.
Foutcode: 0x643
(errorcode)
What's wrong?

Wytse,

From http://support.microsoft.com/kb/900325 :

" Note To install this update, you **must have Microsoft .NET Framework
1.1 and .NET Framework 1.1 SP1** installed. Windows Update detects
whether these packages are installed. Windows Update automatically
installs these packages for you.

If the 886904 update is installed, you **must uninstall the 886904
update** before you install Update Rollup 2 for Microsoft Windows XP
Media Center Edition 2005. Otherwise, the .NET Framework 1.1 SP1
installation will not succeed. "

Does that clear things up ?

I have removed the KB886904 fix and re-installed the .net framework 1.1 SP1.
The rollup couldn't install.
I've tried to download the rollup 2 manually from microsoft.com and tried to
install also manually, but he failed. Then he runs system restore.
The last message I saw in MCE was that he was installing:
Hotfix voor Windows XP (KB895961)

Then he sayd he failed and had to restore.

Is there an error message associated with the failed install of the
Update Rollup ? Who runs System Restore - is the update doing it after
failing to install ?

Try this - Show hidden files, folders, and system files :
http://snipurl.com/f4cx

Create a temporary folder on the Desktop. Name it Temp. Navigate to the
WINDOWS\Installer folder. Move all the contents of that folder to the
newly created Temp folder on the Desktop. Now try to install the Update
Rollup.
Whether it succeeds or not, move all of the contents of Temp back to
WINDOWS\Installer afterwards.
Did that allow it to install ?

There's no specific error.
And when I try to install manually (I've Administrator rights) he opens
Media Center with the message that he's installing. but then suddenly he says
he failed(no error) and automatically when I press OK runs System Restore.

Clearing the c:\windows\installer folder wouldn't help So I just put
everything back in.
Don't know how to solve
btw: some programs I try to install won't install either.
example: norton internet security 2005 and NOD32 (both no errors)

I've scanned for spyware found some and deleted ( www.hitmanpro.nl dutch).
But it has no effect
Any ideas?


ps. I've always the explorer in the mode he shows everything: hidden or not,
system or not don't like someone is hiding something for me

Yeah I got it (h)

first I've removed EVERY update i could find in Add/Remove software in
Configurationscreen or how you call it in englisch.
That was a lot of work,
but after that i runned Windows Update and it worked
I think it has something to do with the ehome infrared thing update i
earlier had to install, maybe uninstalling worked. but uninstalling every
update worked
after that installing .net framework 1.1 and SP1 for .net framework 1.1 of
course
Now I must restart...
ciao

Nice detective work, Wytse. Do you remember the KB # of the "ehome
infrared thing update" ?
