I'm having the same dvd error problem as everyone else. I just did a few of the addon programs to teset and update.. I will try to do a full format in a few days after I am done trying to rescue my cdr's that are damaged so I don't have reinstall the programs on the newly formated computer! it looks to me like all the files are in the folder.

The only thing I can think of is maybe it doesn't like that it was renamed? I'm still tryin' to figure out the cause... :D

I'm thinking it may be the version of the .Net framework I included doesn't need that patch anymore... if so, then it will be removed from the Jan update, and just uncheck it and hit "Save as Default". :)

And what version is that? 1.1 still needs that update.

Is the .NET framework installer packaged like you said it would be?

I assume .NET framework is being installed BEFORE the update is being applied...

Check the TEMP folder for any logs related to the .NET Framework installation...

Yes it's 1.1... someone said the newest 1.1 didn't need the patch, so I wasn't sure. Yes, the .Net is installed perfectly via the exe, the error is on the patch and it's installed after .Net... now I've yet to get the error, so I have no logs to post...

Well actually the file is there, it's just named something different (WindowsXPMediaPlayer9DVDPack.msi)... you could try renaming it and see what happens...

@xStainDx - True for the most part, but I know a number of things that require it be installed, and not come with it (one is a fave screensaver of mine)... I only included it because it's an update on Windows Update, and I know some things require it. But it's not the .Net framework that's the problem, it's the update... which is odd, the update didn't change the way it worked from the last one. :/

Well why is it looking for DVDpack.msi? thats the pack i installed earlier for the ability to watch dvds. Is it maybe trying to remove that pack before installing yours? Shouldn't it just use your dvd pack and install over it, but if you don't have name anywhere specified where is it getting it from?

I'm not to worried about it .. but I'm not even sure what the dvd pack adds anyway.. but I just thought I would let you know. Everything else looks great! I think I might try to gather information on some of the addon files and make a nice webpage or something listing what each thing does. I'm stilling finding I'm having to go and look up a few things to find out what it could possibly do to my system.

Excellent work though guys ! I like the the graphics and format ! looks alot cleaner! More professional!

You do know it requires the latest version of MDAC before .NET Framework can be installed right?:oo

The install on my computer b0rked once when I didn't install MDAC 2.8 ...:alien::

I had MDAC 2.8 selected and I still got the error when trying to install .NET Framework 1.1 with AuroPatcher.

Without AutoPatcher, I can install .NET Framwork 1.1 by itself on a clean install first (without MDAC 2.8) without any errors, so I really don't think MDAC 2.8 is necessary first. :no: Also, I get the first error, (see my screen capture above) even when the patch isn't selected. :rolleyes:

It's kinda confusing, because I know tons of people who aren't getting it, and then a few of you are... I wish I could figure out why you are, and they're not... don't worry, we'll get to the bottom of these eventually.

Only thing i dislike about AP is that is meant for the English(American) version of Windows.

And when i try to install it keep saying " Files have been replaced with unknown language files, please insert Windows XP CD" and stuff like that, really annoying.

But it seem to work ...

Well, do you see at the top... it says "English"... :p You can make your own custom language version, go to the "Documentation" Folder and read! ;)

I don't doubt that you will FlishFun, and I hope that I don't sound like a whiner with these posts. I'm really just trying to help in some small way. AutoPatcher is the kewlest project I've seen in a while and I want to thank you and Raptor for your efforts and contribution to the scene. Thes sorts of contributions have a way of paying off in the long haul.

On a side note; when you test, do you do a fresh clean install from scratch or from some kind of restored image of a clean install? I myself test on a fresh clean install which is somewhat time consuming because I have to attend to all the stuff (CD-Key, Computer Name / user, Workgroup, etc...) That is why I am really looking forward to this Unattended CD Maker tool being updated.

Yep... I have a spare 6 GB HDD that I format and load XP Pro with XPSP1a on it. Then I run the AP. Don't load drivers or anything else first. lol Then I verify everything works...

A different muchmore minor bug is in the Autorun.inf

When it's used it gives this error:

[Program Not Found]

Windows cannot find Autopatcher.exe.

The problem is in the .inf the open line is :

open=AutoPatcher Menu.exe

It does work ok if it's changed to

open="AutoPatcher Menu.exe"

there is also a hotfix missing, http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/7...217-x86-ENU.exe

you have it in the database but its not in the patcher

There is in the full version.

FYI:

Q823718_MDAC_SecurityPatch

Not needed when you are installing MDAC 2.8.

okay, i just finished a clean install of XP Pro SP1a (slipstreamed)...here's what i came up with:

Initially, the Self-Extractor didn't work, but that was because of NTFS permissions on the partition it was trying to extract to, so no bug there. (reason i mention it is because i saw someone post that error box in another thread maybe...)

The Windows Messenger Removal Error (of course.) But I did want to mention...In the program when you select options of which items to install and what not, you cannot uninstall Windows Messenger without installing MSN Messenger 6.1...bug or feature?

I also got the .NET error message (the funny looking one with the question marks) it did not install correctly apparently, because it came up on windows update after i looked. this installation was from another hard drive.

Also, a suggestion: add this line of code to the batch file for the Sun Java VM to remove that desktop icon (or make it an optional tweak)

del/q "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\Java Web Start.lnk"

Hey, there is some unneeded file named INSTALL.EXE. It's related to the .NET Framework from checking its properties. Delete that file and see if .NET framework installs again.

I have no clue why a Japanese version of the bootstrapper is in English version of APXP.

/EDIT: OMFG I AM UNRESTRICTED!!!!!1111111

i think i've found a solution to the .NET question mark problem...

in "AutoPatcher XP\AXPFiles\NETFrame11.axp"

"%AutoPatcherXP_Dir%\ProgFiles\dotnetfx.exe" /q /c:"install \q"

should be

"%AutoPatcherXP_Dir%\ProgFiles\dotnetfx.exe" /q /c:"install /q"

(the backslash shouldn't be a backslash :) )

i'm getting ready to test it.

It must be, I tried installing the .NET Framework and it gave me a switches error.

Bad command there Flish! FIX FIX IFX

    • 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.
