In the log file DvcSetup.log (in Windows\ ) this is what is saved after
each attempted install:

11:32:04 AM : Checking MCE version.
11:32:04 AM : MCE version = Emerald.
11:32:04 AM : Checking only instance of installer.
11:32:04 AM : CmdLine: Installing.
11:32:04 AM : CmdLine: Skin = Xenon.
11:32:04 AM : Verifying user is Administrator.
11:32:04 AM : Verifying EULA is present.
11:32:04 AM : Verifying MCE is NOT installed on a dynamic disk.
Anyone have any ideas? I have tried quite a few things as I know
computers pretty well but no luck. It just stops after that last
verifying MCE is NOT installed on a dynamic disk (which it is not).
Help!!

Also, how was Media Center installed on your PC? (did you install it
yourself from an OEM copy/MSDN? is this a Media Center 2004 PC that you
updated? did you get it from an OEM with it already running MCE 2005? etc.)

Please generate a snapshot of your PC using WINMSD.exe. To do this, complete
the following:
Start -> Run -> WINMSD.exe
From the tool bar select File --> Export
Save off the file in txt format and sent to msft_mcx at hotmail.com.

That's where the install would hang. After installing the software using
the manual methods described in your other post, when attempting to add a new
360, I get a similar dvcconn.log with the same results, a stuck process:

I don't remember if I updated a upgraded or if I did a complete reload. I
think I did a complete reload when I went to MC2005. I used MSDN for the
source.
Let me know if there's anyting else I should try.
Thanks,

Please check the System event log to see if there are any error events
related to dmio/dmboot, disk.sys, or partmgr during the time when the
install is failing?
You can access the system event log by doing the following: Start --
Run -- eventvwr.msc
Please check the Bios settings for this particular drive and report back if
it has been changed from the default values. Please report what change was
made.

1. Can you check the following registry key
\HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\class\
{4D36E967-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
2. Check if the UpperFilters value is set to Partmgr. If it is not, then
please set the value to 'Partmgr' and reboot.
