ehshell.exe problem
Douglas Tatelman
I've had an unpleasant week with my favorite computer. It got into a
blue screen failure that I couldn't even boot to safe mode.
I finally brought it to my trusted PC doctor, who has never failed me.
BUT, this time it looks like he reinstalled the OS and I can't get MCE
to run.
I'm on MCE XP Service Pack 3 It used to say version 2005, but now it
says 2002!
The exact message .... ehshell.exe - Common Language Runtime
Debugging Services
Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.
Process id=0x18ac (6316), Thread id=0x18b0(6320)
I've tried to back out Service Pack 3, but it's not even listed in the
Remove programs. I've done the 2006 MCE rollup.
Any suggestions?
Here's the crash file...

I downloaded and ran the dot net install. I'm not sure if it
finished, it said something like checking configuration, then the
install window closed.
Anyway, still the same error message. Any other ideas.
I'll continue Googling for other answers.
Thanks again.

I cust and pasted all those commands, and still no change.
I fear that because of the brute force reinstall, that I have a
mixture of old and new files... But I don't really understand the
crash file or what the message is trying to say.
Another theory is that since it is an HP, there were custom drivers or
something that didn't get loaded.
Unfortunately the two DVD system backup that I made seems trashed.
I have another Media Center PC, and am thinking of reloading using
those disks... I'm not sure what kind of licensing hell I might get
into, though.
Any more ideas?
Many thanks
Douglas

2005. I'm pretty sure this wasn't how it was done.
But, if I knew what EhShell is trying to do - is it checking hardware?
drivers? Then I could possibly troubleshoot.
Can anyone decipher the crash message?
Thank you

I did number one OK, I installed and RAN the .NET cleanup process.
Number 2 1.1 reinstall went fine
Number 3 1.1 service pack OK
Number 4 - Rollup 2 didn't install like you said, then Mr Salloways
program wouldn't run without .NET 2. I ended up just changing the
registry. If I put a value of 3.0 or over, the rollup wouldn't
unstall. If I put a number less than 3.0 it wouldn't install cause it
said I had MCE 2002 not 2005.
Thanks for your kind help. I am thinking seriously of installing
Windows 7 - I believe it is the Home Premium version that has MCE?
My dual core machine has a "ready for Vista" sitcker on it, so I hope
it's good enough to run 7.
Thanks again.

Curious
MCE2002 or is the version number from the OS saying it is MCE 2002. I ask
since MCE 2005 uses XP 2002 as it's base.
The Home Premium and Ultimate versions of Windows 7 that have the Media
Center application.
Just because a machine has a ready for Vista on it does not mean that all of
the hardware devices connected to it have drivers for Vista 32 and for Vista
64 bit and that these drivers will also work for Win7/

If the dual core machine has a "ready for Vista" sitcker on it, then I
think you have Windows XP MCE 2005.
