Windows 7: Re-add feature removed with v-lite without complete reinstall?

Question

I made a custom Windows 7 install disk (with vLite) without Windows Media Center on it.

But now, I changed my mind and wish to install it.

Of course, Windows Media Center doesn't show up into "Turn Windows features on or off".

Anyone knows how can I install it WITHOUT REINSTALL the entire operating system?

Answer 1

You've basically created your own version of "Windows 7 N", which is a version of Windows sold in Europe that does not include Media Player.

To install media player, you'll have to go to Microsoft's site for users of Windows N software.

All Media Player Downloads:
