+Warwagon MVC Posted November 9, 2007 Author MVC Share Posted November 9, 2007 lol I accidentally ran it, hopefully it didnt screw anything up :D at worst it will just turn off automatic updates then delete your softwaredistrubution folder and then turn automatic updates back on again and redownload the updates if you didn't have the updates to extract. If you want someone to turn it into a program then i'm up for it if thats ok? If you want to try turning it into a program go for it, show us what you can do :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whocares78 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Well you didn't, so give the author his credit. Nice work on being another garden variety jackass in Neowin. haha LMAO, did you read any of the previous posts, maybe you shoudl then come back and edit this one Yep.If people could download, try and present their feedback that would be cool. I'm looking to make it more friendly, by adding a feature which will download the updates from Windows Update, compile them to a ZIP or EXE file and will do all the necessary as well. I'm then looking to convert all the information to VB (when i learn how ;)). So it will be an executable from vbscript to a VB app is hardly any work just get a compiler and play around you can pretty much cut and paste all your code into it and it will compile up an exe. if you want i can do it when i get some time next week.

Puggsley Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Here's the first attempt at converting the script to vb.net It seems to work just like the script but i haven't been able to test it thoroughly Please Post your feedback!

Puggsley Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I am looking for a way around the .net requirement at the moment. I will either create a bootstrap in vb6 or rewrite the program in vb6 (easier but outdated) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance you can let us know how you did this? I'm really interested to start learning to do something more than just scripts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Warwagon MVC Posted November 15, 2007 Author MVC Share Posted November 15, 2007 This is just a friendly bump too keep people aware of this awesome way to update XP I think this should be featured on the front page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Warwagon MVC Posted November 16, 2007 Author MVC Share Posted November 16, 2007 Lol. I dont think its that worthy mate. Its a fantastic way to update windows, I use it all the time, and I wanna get the word out in a big way, front page never hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Warwagon MVC Posted November 16, 2007 Author MVC Share Posted November 16, 2007 Yes it is Because autopatcher is dead, and there are a bunch of people out there that do not know about this methoid. Because they don't know about it they are wasting there time downloading all there updates on Windows update when they could use this simple methoid. Granit autopatcher auguest gets alot of the updates but this gets all those (security updates anyway) and some, plus it only takes like 8 mins compared to 20 - 40 mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panacik Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Until it is a program that is used by many and has some extra bells and whilstles, i dont think its front page news. Speak to Neobond or Marcel and ask them what they think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack 0Neill Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I personally prefer c't project. This "AutoPatcher Replacement" still wants a lot of reboots, whereas c't asks for one reboot if any. http://www.heise.de/ct/projekte/offlineupd...wnload_uk.shtml Works perfectly and 100% legal.

I am not saying Autopatcher was a bad program, but imo Autopatcher was just a collection of scripts to install the updates relevant to your system, this is just a script to do the same thing so how is this any less of a program?

Plus if all you want is updates and IE7 my method is MUCH faster, all 88 updates (not counting IE7) install in about 6 mins compared to autopatcher which took forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because its just a clever script. It does what is already possible in Windows. AP had more functionality. Its a clever idea, but no way a real program and certainly not one worthy of keep being bumpped for NO GOOD REASON... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
