How to get BDA Feature on server 2008

EDIT: GUIDE UPDATED NOW EVERY 3RD PARTY TV APPLICATIONS WORKING
……………………………………………………………………………………….
.

Requirements:

Latest Version of DirectX (DirectX 9c March 2008 Redist)
http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/4…2008_redist.exe

Vista DVD or a if you have vista preinstalled, then its fine as you have the files on your
current system

Gimagex (http://www.autoitscript.com/gimagex/) if your OS is server or anything else than
vista, then you need this to mount the vista image from vista DVD to get the files

Codec pack to install some missing filters and codecs that are not on server by default, because it’s a
server not workstation. My preferred Codec pack “K-LITE CODEC”
http://ftp.freenet.de/pub/filepilot/window…klcodec390f.exe

NOW ON VISTA

Create a folder on desktop, and name it “BDA FOR SERVER” so later on in this guide you
won’t get confused

Extract ALL THE FILES from BDAXP.cab to folder “BDA FOR SERVER”. BDAXP are located
in Latest Version of DirectX. Rename the “bda.inf” to bdadirectx.inf to avoid confusion

Now inside BDA FOR SERVER folder create another folder and name it “SOURCE” that’s were
all your main files will go. Now go to “C:Windowssystem32” on vista and copy and paste all
these files to “SOURCE” folder you just created

MSVidCtl.dll.mui (The most important file located “C:WindowsSystem32en-US)
bdaplgin.ax
kstvtune.ax
ksxbar.ax
Mpeg2Data.ax
mpg2splt.ax
MSDvbNP.ax
MSNP.ax
MSVidCtl.dll
psisdecd.dll
psisrndr.ax
VBICodec.ax
vbisurf.ax
WSTPager.ax

Now create a new txt file in the same folder SOURCE and copy and paste this onto it”

regsvr32 bdaplgin.ax
regsvr32 kstvtune.ax
regsvr32 ksxbar.ax
regsvr32 Mpeg2Data.ax
regsvr32 mpg2splt.ax
regsvr32 MSDvbNP.ax
regsvr32 MSNP.ax
regsvr32 MSVidCtl.dll
regsvr32 psisdecd.dll
regsvr32 psisrndr.ax
regsvr32 VBICodec.ax
regsvr32 vbisurf.ax
regsvr32 WSTPager.ax

save the txt file with extension “cmd“ and name it “REGISTER” some people might not able to
see the cmd extension, if thats the case then enable this by going to control panel>folder
options>view> there unmark the “hide extensions for known file types” this register file will register missing files on server

That’s all the sources you need that’s need to be on server for BDA to work.

NOW LETS MOVE ONTO SERVER TO INSTALL BDA

After installing server 2008, copy all the files from folder “SOURCE” folder including REGISTER.CMD to
C:WindowsSystem32 directory EXCEPT for MSVidCtl.dll.mui THIS GOES INTO
DIFFERENT DIRECTORY. Now copy the MSVidCtl.dll.mui to C:WindowsSystem32en-US directory

Now in system32 directory run the register (cmd) file you just copied, this will register all the files

NOTE: Not all files will register it will give you some errors, but just ignore it.

Now go to C:Windowsinf, there you will find “bda.inf”
right click on bda.inf. and then choose install. It will ask for file “bdasup.sys. Browse to the
location of “bdasup.sys which is in C:WindowsSystem32drivers. after that…VERY IMPORTANT
RESTART.

After restart, right click on bdadirectx.inf, and choose install, as its installing it will create many pnp
devices and will prompt you to find, locate and install them. VERY IMPORTANT DO NOT INSTALL
ANY DRIVERS OR DEVICES WHEN IT’S PROMPTING; JUST CLICK CANCELL FOR ALL OF
THEM. After it finishes installing again YOU MUST RESTART AGAIN, because the inf. file sets some
runonce commands on registry which must be executed SO IT MUST BE RESTARTED. the pnp devices will also dissappear after restart

After restart run the register.cm again just to be on the safe side, this way you will have up to date
entries in registry (that’s where it registers the files)

That’s it done MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!!!

I view TV with DVBVIEWER PRO and no problems works like a charm. Also tried DVBDREAM and worked lie a charm as well,
don’t know whether it will work with all the tv applications, but give
it a try.

NOTE:EVEN THOUGH THESE FILES DONT TOUCH MAIN SYSTEM CRITICAL FILES OR SETTINGS, AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DATA LOSS OR DAMAGE, USE THIS METHOD AT
YOUR OWN RISK.

i got my tv tuner (hauppauge hvr 4000 dvb-s2) and tv apps working. i can tune and also watch all channels including HD channels. you dont just register a few “ax” files, theres a lot more to it. i did a clean install of server 2008 to double check and test bda function again, it worked and it works better than vista ( i mean more stable and faster)
if you want to know how, then PM me
