Media Center Won't Install

If install starts, but then stops without completing, there are a few things to try:

  • You may be out of Windows temporary file space. Run Internet Explorer and do Tools/Internet Options/Temporary Files/Delete Files. If you are using another browser, do the similar operation there.
  • Disable a virus checker that may be running
  • Disable any pop-up blocker running

Another item that has been seen in the past involves the view for the Window's Start Menu. On Windows XP, there are two views allowed for the Start Menu: Start menu and Classic Start menu. Switching to Classic Start menu may solve the install problem. You can get to the selection screen by right-clicking on the Start icon in the bottom left corner of Windows and selecting Properties. Click the Start Menu tab and select Classic Start menu. Try the install again.

Sometimes an uninstall of Media Center, reboot of the computer, and reinstall of Media Center will fix an incomplete install.
