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

I would suspect that you're missing SP1 of the .NET Framework, or a security update for .Net SP1. I had some issues getting the 886903 patch to install on a couple of machines.

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=886903

Best bet is to check Windows Update and see if you're missing any .Net related updates and install from there.
