    @George King
    I don't know what I'm supposed to do with this .NET Framework thing?

    As for you I checked for the medctroc.log file. And it gave some errors that do not make any sense. Because I already have files such as sbe.dll or .ax files copied.

    Hi.
    I made some more improvements over ConvertNT5SKUs.
    First of all, Media Center Edition on 64-Bit still doesn't work but at least Royale theme is installed.

    Then, I realized a bug exists on x64 SP2. Since some ISOs does not contain WIN51AX.SP2 file, text-mode setup doesn't continue after a point.
    And finally, some entries in DOSNET.INF and TXTSETUP.SIF is not doubled anymore.

    I found out that Media Center components on 64-Bit does not work.
    Rundll32 can register mscories.dll on 32-Bit, but somehow not on 64-Bit.

    Well, I tried to launch the dotnetfx.exe from a self-made optional component .inf file. But that didn't work. I tried SVCPACK.INF, and the result wasn't any different.
    After being able to install .NET Framework 1.1 on Windows XP x64, nothing much left rather than some little tweaks.

    I've finally managed to fix Net Framework related errors for Media Center x64 Edition.

    If a compatible driver is installed on Windows XP, then MCE will work.
    VirtualBox Guest Additions worked fine.
