@Stingray57: I had the same problem. You need to install MS NET Framework 2.0 first.

This has way too many bugs.It doesn't install everything stated in the description.. The icon in control panel to adjust settings gives you errors and won't open.I couldve just went with uxtheme and got taskswitch on my own.Maybe even threw on the tango patcher etc. Anyhow, when i logged off i got a value error.I then restarted and uninstalled.Now i can't reboot my pc.. This should be named ''alpha'' Be Warned..

If you have already have "Media Center 2005", but wish to spruce it up I recommend NOT installing the actual Luna theme as it seems to get rid of the Start Menu picture. I don't know why they did this. (I also don't use the Boot Screen and the Wallpaper.) I've only got one issue which is all my DVD's show blue Internet Explorer icons for every file type. It's not a huge deal and I'll figure out what's causing this when I get a chance. It might be as simple as NOT installing the new IE icon?

Basically, what XPize does is update the ugly Luna style of your WinXP or Win2003 to the latest version of Luna Royale, the default glass skin of WinXP MCE (Media Center Edition 2005). Aesthetically speaking, you could say that Luna Royale is the prototype of Aero and it indeed looks good (at least much better than plain old Luna). Only issue so far I encountered is the included Fedora Inverse cursor scheme; the hotspot zone (clickable area) is vertically off by a few pixels. I reverted to the default system scheme, which works just fine.
