The Media Center portion of my Vista Home Premium OS appears to be corrupted
(possibly some .NET Framework 2.0 issue). I'm trying to decide whether to
"upgrade" in place (effectively, I hope, repairing the install) or to
reformat and use the well-documented workaround to do a clean install from
the disc.

Is the latter option still possible given that this would be a second
installation? Does it matter that Windows Gen-U-Wine Advantage is keeping
track of this install? If I try the upgrade/repair option and the results
are unsatisfactory, is there any reason I couldn't *then* got to Plan B?

Thanks, all.
