Yes, you're getting that message because you're trying to run the update only.

Can someone PM me the list of Windows critical & recommended, Internet Explorer, and Outlook Express patches

No, not the tweaks or anything like that, a complete listing of all security updates in AXP.

Yay! Hopefully I can find a working link! :rolleyes:

Links are up and are working pretty fast.

[Seth]

Bah, not very fast. Mirror 2 for the Full was good.

For pre-SP2 updates, are the unchecked ones updates that I've already installed via Windows Update? Or are some already installed updates still checked?

The AP scans your registry, so ones that are unchecked, it's found... ones that are checked, you've either never installed, or it cannot find in the Registry. (Y)

I don't know if this was reported or not, but there is 1 minor problem with Tweakomatic:

Shortcut points to the wrong file (tweakomatic.mdb) instead of tweakomatic.hta

From readme file:

How do I use the Tweakomatic?

The Tweakomatic consists of two files: Tweakomatic.mdb (a database containing all the relevant information), and Tweakomatic.hta, the front-end to that database. To use the Tweakomatic, make sure the two files are in the same folder (and that this folder is on the local computer; HTAs don?t work well across the network), andouble-click Tweakomatic.htab>.

Actually I knew there was one thing I was missing and went through the threads and just couldn't find it... I knew it was what I was lookin' for soon as he posted it. :laugh:

Thought I would post my 2 cents & Thank the Auto Patcher Team for an excellent piece of software.

Hmm ... FlishFun ... Have a very important question ...

Everytime I unpack AutoPatcher my virus checker (Panda 2004) goes apesh*t and tells me that it has intercepted a virus, it tells me that psshutdown.exe is a hacking tool and always cancels the archive.

Can you clarify that this is legitimate, and if so why is it construed as being a hacking tool by Panda?

Also, I have had a few problems with January build, basically it has not installed quite a few of the updates selected when I ran it, most obvious being WinMediaPlayer9, after rebooting it showed that WinMediaPlayer 8 was installed, and checking windows update showed that 14 critical updates were still available, on top of 17 non critical updates, including said WinMediaPlayer9 :(

They installed fine with the last build (December) so has something changed?

FYI, the critical updates that were still shown by WInUpdate afterwards were

330994

824145

832483

828035

825119

826933

824105

823182

824141

824146

817787

816093

814078

828026

Out of these 824105 tried to instal itself around 42 times (I kept a note) and it kept failing, or at least asking everytime if it could access the internet to get further updates :(

Is something broken in the January version?

Thanks in advance for your input, and I hasten to add I am in no way criticising your product as it is invaluable, I would just rather I didn't have these hassles ;)

@BeLGaRaTh - Yes there was an issue in the Jan update, and it's been fixed... get the patch here:

https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=135553

Also, PSShutdown is a real file and it comes from SysInternals... see here:

Isn't there a built-in Windows alternative for pssshutdown?

yeah, i was wondering why you guys don't just use that instead :)

[FlishFun Veteran]

There is, and it works for XP, but not any of the OSs... like 2k. So we're tryin' to get something that works with everythin'. :)
