    Thought I'd share an installer I made to launch ZeeVee Zinc from Media Center. This was made by modifying MissingRemote.com's Boxee launcher. If you are not familiar with ZeeVee, it is a Hulu, Netflix, CBS, etc streaming tv interface very similar to Boxee. You can read about it here:

    Instructions:
    1. Of course first install Zinc from here: http://www.zeevee.com/zinc/download-zinc
    2. Download ZeeVeeMCE.zip from here: http://users.zoominternet.net/~robrogers/Files/ZeeVeeMCE.zip
    3. Unzip it to %ProgramFiles%\ZeeVee\Zv\zviewer\ZeeVeeMCE\. From that folder run InstallZeeVee.cmd as admin.
    4. That's it! You can start it from the Extra's strip in Win7, or the Picture & Videos strip in Vista.

    This is for x86 installs. If you are on x64 you will need to edit the .cmd and xml files. The launcher is supposed to automatically maximize Media Center after exiting ZeeVee, but it is not working on my Win7 install. It may work correctly in Vista. ZeeVee fully supports Media Center remotes, but I haven't found a full screen hot key. It may not be implemented yet, so keep an eye on ZeeVee's site for updates. It's not perfect, but I find it to be the best of the available plugins.
