Please make sure to remove the MS03-040 from your batch list and any other cummulative IE Updates.

I will... in the Dec update, of course. :)

@OptiPlex - Oops, didn't notice that, thanks! :D

Since we're trying to stay legit/legal here.....you guys might wanna try out the Xvid codec....its an open source *free* version of the DivX codec....I use it all the time and it works great!!

Xvid Home Page

EDIT: spelling and URL update

Cool, I'll check it out... and as of right now, there are 3 new security patches that will be in the Dec Update:

Q810217 - Buffer Overrun in Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions Could Allow Code Execution

Q828035 - MS03-043: Buffer Overrun in Workstation Service Could Allow Code Execution

Q824145 - Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (November)

For those of you who has Office XP, then including Office XP patches will be a good idea. But well...naaahh...many people dont use it anymore.

Well, this AutoPatcher idea was already on my dreams and I am part happy to see that it exists, part sad to know now that is only for english XP versions :(

So, if it helps, and if it?s in need, I would be very happy to help on an translation for my mother language, Brazilian Portuguese.

If you guys that had this great idea needs a hand just yell me, no costs, no delays, not any kind of pay back need. I would be very happy to help in it just to have this great idea working for me and my m8s here in Brazil.

hey guys i have a great idea for this patcher, make 2 seperate patchers, one with alot of bloat, and one with windows updates

with the one with bloat its fine the way it is...

the one without bloat just add this:

Microsoft Windows XP Pre-SP2 Patches - Critical Updates

Microsoft Windows XP Pre-SP2 Patches - Recommended Updates

Microsoft Internet Explorer Patches

Microsoft Outlook Express Patches

Optional Windows Components- in it just these : any MSN Messenger updates, Windows Messenger Updates, MS Java updates, Sun Java Updates, DirectX updates, .net framework updates, Windows Media Player 9 updates, Windows Movie Maker updates, Microsoft Data Access Components updates, Jet 4.0 updates, MSXML updates, Microsoft SharePoint Migration Tool updates, Microsoft Windows Journal Viewer updates

just added the nov autopatcher to a bootable iso of winxp sp-1....

she's gonna life SOOO much easier... thanks!!

my vote is to keep the autopatcher "lowest common denominator"....

in other words... don't add too many 3rd party apps...

esp. the ones that tend to be VERY audience specific... (winamp, trillian, etc)...

small stuff like startup control panel would be great...

in fact while you're at it, might as well add a few other baseline tools...

-System Recovery Console

-ms clearmem.exe (copied to system32 dir)

-ms bootvis (maybe this one's not for everyone.... dunno?)

-and update the directx control panel to 9.0b

(file version should be 5.3.1.1126, not 4.8.0.400 currently in Nov Update)

again though...

I think the autopatcher should stay MS stuff only (other than the startup cpl) and not filled with apps that we can all burn to a disk ourselves...

If the filesize stays tolerable, I intend to keep a copy on a bootable winxp sp1 disk that I'll be using to clean install xp on MANY other pcs... not just mine...

tis me two cents....

fyi tho.... she's a real beaut! thanks!

Welcome to Neowin :)

ya know...

why not try this instead... to keep em all happy ;)

keep the autopatcher w/ "baseline" apps/tweaks as she is right now...

use the same gui/code to build a second tool called something like "autoinstaller" that contains all of the 3rd party apps...

not to make your life any harder... heh heh ;)

this should keep the autopatcher slim and "trustworthy" and still make life easy for anyone that clean installs their own pc often...

thanks again!

Actually... that could be a good idea. Hmmm... let me work with that a little! ;)

For December, please consider including a way to toggle off this item in Windows Media Player:

"Allow Internet sites to uniquely identify your Player."

It's my understanding that not everyone may want their WMP usage tracked.

Also, please consider reviewing Microsoft's schedule of releasing security updates (perhaps someone else on this list knows more than I do about this) and plan to release monthly updates shortly thereafter? -- so the current months' new M$ security updates can be included in the current month's AP update.

I like the idea of a 'core' setup and an 'extras' installer.

I appreciate everyone's work and enthusiasm on this subject. It's truly generous!!!

:) tom

Personally i would like to see the ata-66 tweak which i can send to anybody that needs it, and yeah i would second the idea of having the months windows updates included so maybe the schedule could be set for the day after the updates because people dont want to be too far behind critical updates.

The Fade in effect has to go, and have you thought of using the /o slash on all type 1 hotfixes (just the white icon) this speeds up install no end because it doesnt check for OEM files or sumthing im not exactly sure i just know it doesnt do any damage and speeds up install very much.

as for the diffrent packages i think the way the system is at the minute is perfect, i wouldnt add too many 3rd party applications because everyone has diffrent taste and preference and to please everyone you would need a file terrabytes in size.

well just my 2 cents anyways

    • While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.
    • Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
