Re: Roolup2 This upgrade can only be run on windows xp media centre edition 2005

It may be related to the hack to enable domain joining. I don't have a machine to test it on, at this time, unfortunately.

As for the version number being shown as "aaaa..ah" on the other machine....... It does look suspiciously like someone is saying, Ah, ahhhhhhh...... you shouldn't be doing that........ But that's just a guess.
