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

My guess would be the Rollup 2 install failed, and it rolled itself back. You'd have to redo the install and catch the error. The utility just checks the Ident value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center and allows you to change it if needed. If you have something other than a number there, then I couldn't tell you why.

I've never needed to do the domain hack, so I can't tell you what the consequences would be in this case.
