What version of Media Center do you have on your PC? (In Media Center,
navigate to Settings --> General --> About Media Center --> Software
Version)

Yep, I downloaded the correct package and still had the same problem.

Alright, so I have a Media Center PC and a 360 and I'm trying to
connect
them, but it isn't quite working right. I go through the setup on my
360
and
it tells me to copy down an either digit key and then install the
software
on
my PC. I do that, but it finishes installing on my PC without even
asking
me
to enter the key anywhere.

If you look on that page under the "At Your Media Center PC: Xbox 360
Setup"
heading I get to slide #3 and then it tells me my 360 is authorized and
installation is complete without ever telling me I need to enter a key
or
restart my PC. Anytime I click the media center icon on my 360 though
it
just
tells me to copy the key down and go through the setup process, which
I've
already done numerous times, and every one of those times it's told me
setup
was complete. Windows media connect is also running fine on my PC and
when
I
look in there it's showing the 360 as connected just fine, but again,
any
time I click the media center icon on my 360 dashboard it just checks
the
network and then takes me back to the "copy down this setup key" and
then
"install PC software" screens.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
