    Alright. Ive put probably 10 hours on trying to figure this out and I have basically gotten no where. I would like to be able to run xbmc as an appliction on my modded x box. I am using unleash x as my dashboard. I have downloaded (numerous times) xbmc. When I download it it is a .rar file. I cannot extract these files on the PC. Im sure I can i just dont know how. SO what I do is I ftp the xbmc.rar file to my xbox and extract the files in the unleash x dashboard. I'm not sure if thats what I should do bc I have not once ran xbmc. I do not know how or where to open it. I need to: --know what to ftp to my xbox?
    -where to ftp?
    - and ultimately what steps do i need to take to run it?
    Ne help will be greatly appreciated bc right now im just tired and frusterated. Thanks

    I downloaded winrar and extracted the files then ftp them over to the xbox. I had to creat an apps folder to ftp them to bc there isnt a default one or not one i could find. This dint work. Where exactly on my xbox can i find the place to ftp them?

    I have an F drive but there is no content in it it just says zero kb then there is nothing in it. and the games is in the E drive but there is no apps section in it. Is this odd for someone using unleash x?

    you should have something like this inside the xbmc folder:
    C:\xbmc\
    ...
    ...
    default.xbe

    Then ftp to xbmc folder to E drive.
    On unleash goto file manager, then E then xbmc and click on default.xbe.
    Xbmc will launch

    You have download the whole thing for xbmc. Not download the default.xbe. The file you downloaded is incomplete.
