Cool, maybe I'll include it with the other 2 Screenies. :)

Hey I just got a great little idea for a change. How about making the boxes on the installation menu grey out when they are not expanded and some of the options are unchecked? That way a user can know at a glance if a whole tree is selected or only parts of that tree.

No problem ^_^

I would like to knew whether it is possible to use ASCII codes in the .dat file! Specifically for using danish letters in the text. Currently when i type one of the three different unique letters in danish, the result is a weird looking greek numeral. Can I use ascii codes to replace the letters, and get a decent result?

was wonderin if there were any plans on includeing the visualbasic librarys? and other required .dll .ocx 's ... etc...

tabctrl.ocx richedit.ocx ? ? yadda yadda yadda..

dont worry... AutoPatcher will automatically copy the three OCX files it need onto the user's system folder :D... But i dunno about the rest... Ill prolly look around and might come up with a list of some control libraries for VB based apps

/Raptor

No, nobody is working on it even though I said I could help :o

thats prolly because i said you have to form a small group... i dont think you can possibly manage to carry out the whole thing... next step is to make a topic about it.. i.e AutoPatcher Windows 2000 Group, form a team and then work with me and flishfun, so we can glue everything together...

Unfortunately the VB6 version of the treeview control does not support it... I hope this changes when SP6 comes out for VB6... but for the time being, VB6 SP5 looks very old with outdated controls... I will still look into it and i might be able to find an alternative way to do this... who knows...

/Raptor

cool

Wouldn't that be illegal to do. It's a product that while it's a good idea, none of it belongs to Autopatcher XP compilers. I am not against it, but it's not a wise idea to charge for the discs. I think this is a good product. If someone wants this on a cd, they should find a friend with broadband and burn a copy from that friend.. Just a suggestion, I am not a player hater!

AutoPatcher show you that, because all the labelsand texts use the Greek Script (hey, I live in Greece, can't possibly refuse to install support for it hehe)... If you want to help make a danish version of AutoPatcher, form a small group which will find all equivelant updates and then I will just make a new .exe for you. And if you want, you might be able to supply Danish translations of all the labels...

we will look into this...

What about some generic drivers.... ATiCatalyst, NForce?

I know its a bit more difficult with drivers, as everyone has a different setup... but as of late, some of the main drivers are all in ones, for all cards of a particular chipset.

Probably in practice, its not a good idea? Just a thought!!!

You really need to get on MSN Messenger. ;) I'll get you started. :D

ok, i would like very much to be involved but i do NOT program any way i would likes 2 learn vb6 hopefully in the short future.

as for batch programming i am very good, and for gathering updates i am available also if used CD Dispatch i can do no problem if anybody is intrested to UK only.

please PM me your MSN Signin name and i will add you that way we can discuss more.

The charging wouldn't be for the components of the program. You'd be paying for the shipping, the CD, and a little bit (maybe 50 cents) to the AP itself. You're not buyin' the updates, you're buying the convinience, and as long as that's noted on the site (which it will be), it shouldn't be illegal. :)

Hello All,

I'm just adding my 2-Cents here, so don't start to criticise etc.

- First the AP should be mainly about Windows Updates and Windows related issue.

- The Java and Direct X are excluded from what I mentioned above.

- I think that Flash should be included in the new pack and any other really necessary stuff.

- I think it should contain as many registry tweaks as possible. (http://www.tweakxp.com) Everytime I format my HD, I spend about 1 hour on this site tweaking my system with the tweaks that are worth it.

- I agree with those who posted that you should have a main set and then the goodies set.

- AP should also have the option to state or diable the updates that are already installed.

- Maybe it can have the option to reverse what you included.

Example: I installed Msn 6.1.0.555 or whatever when I ran AP. Now I don't want Msn 6.1.0.55 again. I'll then launch AP, choose the option to remove msn 6.1.0.555 (I've seen this with Symantec products, like Systemworks.

===================================

- Maybe you can also create some script or application that can let users make Neowin_unattended_CD_Guide_for_XP (This can be a separate project)

This is what I had in mind. My imagination can be wild so bare with me. :D

A user download some type of app or script.

He runs it.

A pop up screen appears stating to insert your Windows XP CD into the drive.

The app then creates a folder on the HD, copies the Windows Xp files etc.

It also copies all the possible updates that MS has sent out. (the user will need to have AP application if they'd like the updates to be installed directly when installing Windows XP)

Once completed, it will state how the total size of everything and tell you how many cd-r(s) you'll need, and then you can burn your New Windows XP Unattended CD with all the available updates from the version of AP that the user has).

Maybe in the new version or something, you can install a free cd burning app or something to assist with that creative task. Who knows?

Now don't I have a wild imagination? :D

Hey,

Me again. I forgot one more thing for the December update.

An option to have the Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) enabled on all Network Connectiong... I saw this on Windows Update, and maybe an option to disable file/printer sharing.

Hey, I think everyone overlooked bandwidth. He'll need distributers and mirrors.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
