Connecting media centre to Xbox

I'm trying to network my laptop and Xbox but, when downloading media connect
from the Microsoft site, I get a message that says there's a problem with my
installation of media centre, to remove the update, and download it again
from the windows update site. I've done this twice now and I still get the
same message.

Any ideas? This is so frustrating!

Are you up to date on windows update ? How about setting the media
center automatic updates to both download and install, reboot the PC
and wait a day to see if there are any available updates which fix
this ?

Windows media connect was as far as I'm aware, pulled from the
download site without warning once WMP11 had been released.

So I'm not sure exactly what you're getting from the download.

WMP11 has all this built in and should work with media center 2005 and
windows XP with SP2. That might fix this up in one step...
