AgEnTsMiTh... nah, just ran it from the folder I extracted the full update to....

t'was the same folder I used to build my winxp cdrom....

I just extracted the original "AutoPatcherXP_Dec.exe" file again....

browsed to the location the error message mentions... "\AutoPatcher XP\ProgFiles"

and still no "DVDPack.msi" file...

tis why I'm planning on re-downloading APXP again in the mornin....

just to make sure I'm not screwing up here somewhere...

speakin of which... isn't the mp3pack.msi supposed to be there too??

eesh.... tis late... night fellas.

Strange, can you reproduce the error more then once? No worries, FlishFun will be on this in the morning. But again, it could be on your side, who knows. Its been tested on several different systems and never got that as far as I know.

Also, did you use the Update or the Full? Just for my own curiosity because I will see if I get that error right now on a nother system.

noticed that the file "WindowsXPMediaPlayer9DVDPack.msi" is in the right folder...

maybe the Decoder Pack Installer didn't like the file renamed from "DVDPack.msi"??

I dont see how that could be it because like i said, it ran fine for me on 2 systems. Flish is the man, he will get worked out for ya!!!

Hang tight till in the morning. Thanks for letting him know.

1. Auto Reboot?? I never clicked on finish as i was trying to wrap up a AIM convo. oh well lol.

2. Why are the other two logs blocked from loading to see if the updates were installed in the previous release?? Or are they not needed? I'm asking because it doesn't seem like it picked up everything that was installed in the November release.

Well, ive ran it now on 3 systems. 1 fresh install, and 2 that had the previous Autopatcher ran on it, and I did not get that error at all regarding the DVD decoder.

@Dazzla, what you have to do is extract the Dec Update and the previous into 1 folder for example, when you extract the dec update it all goes into the folder UPGRADE RELEASE, Put everything in there, then run the Updater.exe. It will update your version into the Full Dec Release. Hope that explains it well enough. Let me know if you need more detailed info.

Edit...Sorry Dazzla I am beat tired. Hope Ive explained it well enough :)

How the hell did I not see updater.exe. I jumped straight into the December folder before it had finished extracting and never bothered to check back in the root folder.

Ahhh cool. Was worried there for a min, Like I said, I am so tired my mind was not registering the entire simple question you had LOL. So is everything cool now?

By the way Congratz on 13,000 posts :)

well guys, it working good :) and the autorun menu is good too :)

but i found a bug regarding the .NET Patch well 2 seperate errors but refers to the same thing.

1)

Some wierd error that only says ???? looks like something todo with the switches because it has /? /h /u /I

in the msg.

2)

I get an error while installing the patch for .NET, didnt happen in the last release....

"The Upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded maybe missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have correct patch."

this error displays on the NDP1.1-KB824629-x86.exe

how ever i never got any other error. Apart from those 2 things the system running sweet :)

so it doesn't matter but i thought i might let you guys know.

Doesn't really bother to me because i don't use any of the .NET, but thought that u guys like to know.

Thank you for the nice program, oh yeah, since nobody prolly mentioned, happy xmas and new year to all :)

im going down south for 2 weeks so i won't be posting anything for little bit

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
