Windows DLC XP Media Center Edition 2010 3.6 is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition, which was created by Tran Duy Linh. It released on August 23, 2009, and was added to the archive on April 8, 2024.

This bootleg became notable when the Windows account on Twitter accidentally referenced a screenshot of this bootleg in one of its Tweets.

Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO with DriverPacks BASE 8.12.5 integrated.

It comes with its own boot selector. Through it, you can access a stripped down Ghost version of this bootleg, Windows XPE with Kaspersky Anti Virus 2009, Hiren's Boot CD 9.9, "DOS for WinXP", HDAT2ALL v4.6 Beta 3, automatically backup and restore Windows from D:\Backup\Win.gho, and Mini Windows XP on CD.

It comes with many programs, and themes and wallpapers. It comes with some updates. It comes with registry tweaks. It comes with its own autorun.

On the first boot of the OS, registry tweaks will be applied and a batch script will run which will install all of the programs.

The main difference between the Ghost version of this bootleg and the normal version is this:

Only 10 themes are bundled instead of 31
Only DLC Ultilities and the games are bundled, otherwise there would be some extra software alongside it
Different wallpaper
Styler is enabled by default

It is unattended and preactivated. The ISO was made using nLite and touched up in UltraISO 9.3.3.2685 (and 7.6e it seems), and the boot selector used was EasyBoot 5.1.2.586.

Notes

WPI Follies

Both times for Firefox, it tries to install extra add-ons, but of course, the executable does not exist.
For both Yahoo Messenger's, plurality will be enabled. For both Yahoo 9's, Ad Banner Remover Plus 1.0.3.9 will be ran and automatically remove Yahoo Messenger ads.
IDM will be patched and then registration information will be applied on it.
Unused content:
- There is an Eclipse keygen for Classic Menu for Office 2007 3.8.0.177 (despite it being 4.01 in the WPI).
- There are DVT CD keys for Your Uninstaller.
- There is a patch for PC Security.
- There is a CD key for R-Studio. Name: all
- There is an FFF keygen for TuneUp Utilities 2009.
- There is a file called "DK.EXE" in Vietnamese Calendar's installer's directory. What it does is it registers the OCX controls and VietnameseDll.dll.
- There is a ZWT keygen for UltraISO.
For pretty much all WPI programs, they will be moved into the Softwares program group, and their startup entries are deleted.

CD contents and other info

Much of the files and folders on the CD are hidden. Only the autorun, setup, the preview of the OS and the Ghost image are visible files on the root. Likewise, HBCD, "HUONG DAN (READ ME)", I386, OEM and WXPE are the only visible folders on the root.
The password for the Ghost DLC Media Center 2010 image is "trandilinh".
There is a lot of documentation on the CD.
You can find the AutoPlay Media Studio project file for the autorun on the CD root.
The CD doesn't use the Joliet filesystem, so you may have to enable it in order for most hypervisors to recognize it.
The CD label is "DLC 3.6".
The CD has its own folder background.
The CD comes with a custom icon.
