Of course you have a choice. ;) It's displayed as checkboxes, and you can choose what you want to be installed. :)

Depends, between 2 GB and 200 GB. :rofl: But if you're willing to be a mirror, the more the better... thanks! Now remember, before runnin' the Jan Update make sure you patch it with the fix here: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=135553 (Y)

[ranicx]

[maccarulez]

Cheers m8. This a fantastic program to have, but ive got one question if anyone can help. Does the autopatcher include service pack 1.

Hope someone can help by tomorrow, because im getting a new graphics card, and im doing windows.

Thx

[akaladis Veteran]

nopers, AutoPatcher does not include any Service Pack... neither SP1 nor SP1a... we thought most of you (if not everyone) will have it slipstreamed in the Windows Installation by now :p

/Raptor

[kajouma]

Thanks a million for the fabulous job! Installation finished without a glitch. However, when I checked Windows Updates, I got this critical update:

Security Update for Microsoft Data Access Components (KB832483)

I don't know whether I need to install it on my home PC.

Best,

Kajouma

[akaladis Veteran]

MSDAC aint a critical update so you dont *need* to install it... however, if you wanna have a totally updated PC, then download it... we'll gotta check out why it wasnt installed with AutoPatcher...

/Raptor

[kajouma]

Thanks a lot Raptor for the prompt (informative) response. Another (small) question is I didn't have any compatibilty problem with the original release of the AutoPatcher, do I need to use your 'cleaned up' .exe file?

Best and thanks again! :D

Nope, you won't need it... if you wait, it'll just be integrated into the next release anyways. :)

Where is the Spyware Flish???

j/k :p , great list FlishFun, now that i saw that list Im gonna to download it :D

[FlishFun Veteran]

lol Spyware = Teh Suck! No spyware... not now, not ever! :)

[akaladis Veteran]

lol... we will never ever include any spyware or such... i believe i have said this a million times around these threads :)

[FlishFun Veteran]

That's right, I wouldn't have included MSN Plus! if there hadn't been a way to disable the spyware. (Y)

[akaladis Veteran]

hehe, i remember a whole discussion wether we should include it or not (because of the spyware/adware it contained)... since we found a way to install it without the junk, we decided to include it :)
