Ensure that you're downloading the correct installation package for your version of MCE 2005.

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.
