Now I get warning box like saying this:

"A Previous autopatcher XP log was found. Would you like to deselect the options you had selected before?"

I click yes/no but this box comes again. Which log file should I delete :huh: ? And my wish: This box never comes again, AP deletes the previous log automatically ? ;)

argon, you will have to delete:

apxp_uid.log

apxp_bonus_uid.log

apxp_custom_uid.log

in C:\Windows\System32 folder

in december release that dialog (actually they are different for each database in november release...) has been improoved with a custom one... which has 3 checkboxes for the 3 database files and includes a switch... /skipoldlogs which will just ingore the logs...

Can you please make a Dutch version of this awesome tool?

Or can you provide me with instruction to make such a version?

Thanx.

Yes, we're working on one ourselves, but you can look here for my instructions how:

Can I make it by myself? dutch version?

@Raptor, what did you think of this:

hmmzz...i think it would be a good idea to add a "search 'n destroy" button

this or these button(s) should have the following functions:

- detect the updates allready installed on the system

- remove those from the list + an option to fysically delete them...

*really hoping this is possible (or not allready said)*

* a detection that is like the WU detection...it checks the system for the current system configuration and then auto selects the needed updates and hides(or fade away) the updates that do not apply to the system configuration, or that are allready installed.

@Jason, that would mean EODP... End Of Distributable Package... since if it destroys the files, then 1. you can never get them again for other systems (which do not have the hotfixes installed)

right now, the detection only unchecks the items... doesnt ever throw them outta the database...

also... AutoPatcher only 'sees' batch files... it doesnt know what files are for what...

Okay, the November Update has been released, so it's time to start thinking of what we can put in the December Update!

I dont know if anyone has mention a reg cleaner.

I have found JV16.ORG to be very useful.

FlishFun can decide :yes:

That is honestly somethin' I would have considered.... but now that he charges I'm not going to even consider it (I'd put the old 1.3 version in, but I'm sure he wouldn't like that). Sorry!

Nah, I think he just means the 6 or so post-November updates.

No, no I'm not. Just turned on Win Update.

20 Critical Updates

15 Windows XP (And I used personalize to remove 4)

Also, when I started to install it, it said my version was gold and may not be supported. Uhhh... Huh? I have a real, purchased 2600 version of XP Home. The hell's that mean?

Great updater!

Ah!! I think I know now... Gold = No SP1. This requires SP1 to work right. :D

!? Uhhh.... Isn't the point of it so that we didn't have to install a big thing of patches?

You should put a warning on it that you have to install SP1 first. Or do you actually have to?

Actually it says so in the Readme... and in the F.A.Q. on here... and we will change the popup warning. And, well... SP1 isn't a big thing of patches. :huh: Just SP1... then this and you're done. :)

It is my opinion that the installer should not work if SP1 is not installed. Since you have the ability to check the registry for previously installed updates in the December release, why not check that SP1 is already installed before allowing any auto or manual updates?

Is this feasable?
