Is there some way to get needed files withouth installing mce2k5 - i have installation cds, but i don't want to install it (i don't have space/hdd).

If you are having issues with ehShell.res and recompiling ehShell.exe, just open ehShell.res with a resource editor and save it again.

 anyone tried to do this on an XP Embedded system ?

I am wondering if its possible to create some kind of software extender using a x86 compatable HP Thin Client device, see this thred on AV Forums:

Hi to everybody,

I run MCE on a VLK, so I had to modify the ehshell.exe
After disassembling and changing the IL_001 thing I couldn't recompile the ehshell
with the disassembled ehshell.res.

I figured out that I had to modify the ehshell.res, because the download on this
thread is not working anymore.
I had a look in the ehshell.res with a ResExplorer and found the Icon Group and
23 set to ?? and Language Neutral.

I set the Icon Group to IDI_APP and the 23 to NEUTRALSTRINGS.XML and the
Language to English (United States) and recompiled the ehshell just fine.


after ildasm
+- ICON GROUP
|  +- ??
|     +- Language Neutral
|
+- 23
|  +- ??
|     +- Language Neutral

changes
+- ICON GROUP
|  +- IDI_APP
|     +- English (United States)
|
+- 23
|  +- NEUTRALSTRINGS.XML
|     +- English  (United States)

ehShell.exe:

1. Install Framework 1.0 SDK
2. Run "C:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\FrameworkSDK\Bin\ildasm.exe"
3. Open ehshell.exe from mediactr.cab. Go to File > Dump and in the options dialog that appears afterwards make sure only 'Dump IL Code' and 'Expand try/catch' checkboxes are checked.
4. Open ehshell.il in notepad and replace true in line "IL_001e: brtrue.s IL_002d" to false. Save it
5. Delete ehshell.res and replace it with ehshell.res in the attachment below
6. Open a command prompt and switch to the folder where you decompiled ehshell to
7. Recompile it using "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\ilasm.exe /resource:ehshell.res /exe ehshell.il"

Hello,

I have tried this process of installing MCE 2005 on Windows 2003 (version 5.2 Build 3790.srv03_sp1_RTM.050324-1447: Service pack 1) several times and all runs well upto the point I make the changes to the systemprefix which I do with windows offline via a BartPE disk. When I reboot the machine back into windows I get the windows logo appear on the screen for about 2 seconds then the machine crashes and reboots and then keeps crashing and rebooting untill I load my BartPE disk again and reverse the systemprefix keep back to its original 2003 hex value.

Can anybody give me advice on what I am doing wrong or what the source of the problem is.

I have tried the following systemprefix values:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup "SystemPrefix"=hex:ce,13,00,00,00,00,3e,c8

which I aquired from a post in this forum.

and

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup "SystemPrefix"=hex:d6,1b,00,00,00,40,43,0a
and this one I got from a clean install of XP MCE.

Thanks in advance.

The machine is actually BSOD'ing with a SYSTEM_LICENSE_VIOLATION error. Reason why you can't see it is cause you have the machine set to automatically reboot.

You can read more about this violation error here:

For me, the parameters was that it was expecting WinNT, not ServerNT (ie, the first option).

So, go change it accordingly with BartPE, with some help here:

You'll need to load the SYSTEM hive as "test" again, and modify the keys in ControlSet001 or ControlSet003 (I'm not sure which one is used - I just modified both)

Would this work with Vista's Media Center or is that an entirely new can of worms?

Has this file been made available yet? I am in a holding pattern on this project until I get it.

If not would it be possible for someone who already has it to send it to me via email? billdillard@cox.net

 

i need the ehome.res file too - please!!!!!
