xp media center edition not detected?

[trium]

i know, xp is no longer supported operating system of ms ...etc.

speccy detects only xp pro sp3

I do not know how the identification works, but certainly could be for detecting the following directory

1.) "c:\programme\windows plus"

and/or

2.) --> rightklick desktop -->

in "properties of display" --> "representation"? --> "window and button"? --> "Media Center-Style"?

German: "Eigenschaften der Anzeige" --> Schaltfläche "Fenster und Schaltflächen" --> "Media Center-Stil"

with this two things could be detecting this spezial version of xp pro..., mh?

... two additional points to detect

3.) System properties --> General --> "Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2002 SP3"

4.) special software installations on MCE 2005

--> "Windows Digitalmedienerweiterungen"

and

--> "Media Center"

I highly doubt that they will make changes for a dead OS but I'd assume this has more to do with the way MS "advertises" the os level to programs than with speccy. Does ccleaner reply with the same information?

yes. no one of piriform tools can detect "Windows XP3 MCE 2005 Rollup 2" or another version of MCE

i have perhaps helpful info for detecting...

first:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center

value name = Version of Media Center Edition (on my pc is 4.0 after update with SP3 and Rollup 2)

Windows Media Center Version Ident value

Windows XP Media Center Edition 2002 < 2.7

Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004 2.7 or 2.8

Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 (incorporating Windows XP SP2) 3.0

Update Rollup 1 for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 3.1

Update Rollup 2 for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 4.0

Windows Media Center in Windows Vista 5.0 Windows Media Center TV Pack 5.1

Windows Media Center in Windows 7 6.0

[trium]

second:

Hosted HTML and the User-Agent Header

The User-Agent header for web applications built using HTML contains a combination of Internet Explorer-based variables and Windows Media Center-specific items, as follows:

[MediaCenterIdentValue];[MediaCenterBinariesVersion]

User-Agent, Browserkennung: for example:

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 4.0)
