Can you include support for versions of XP Windows Media Center ?

Sure. What would that "support" imply?

Checking minimal OS version on an install.

Currently the closest we can do is Win XP SP2.

Since I hope to install a WMCE 2005-only app, it would be great to test for WMCE 2005. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you install experts how to do that. I could however test it for you.

Thanks,

Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 is at the core Windows XP Professional version 2002 with the Media Center 2005 components. So using Advanced Installer, you can determine whether WMCE 2005 is installed.

To check if WMCE 2005 is present on the target computer here is what you could do:
- Go to the "Install Parameters" page and select the "Windows XP Service Pack 2" in the "Windows NT/2K/XP" drop list.
- Go to the "Search" page and schedule a registry search after the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Ident key

Here is a URL that helped me a lot:
