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?

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 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

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
    • Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 by Razvan Serea Microsoft Edge is a super fast and secure web browser from Microsoft. It works on almost any device, including PCs, iPhones and Androids. It keeps you safe online, protects your privacy, and lets you browse the web quickly. You can even use it on all your devices and keep your browsing history and favorites synced up. Built on the same technology as Chrome, Microsoft Edge has additional built-in features like Startup boost and Sleeping tabs, which boost your browsing experience with world class performance and speed that are optimized to work best with Windows. Microsoft Edge security and privacy features such as Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, Password Monitor, InPrivate search, and Kids Mode help keep you and your loved ones protected and secure online. Microsoft Edge has features to keep both you and your family protected. Enable content filters and access activity reports with your Microsoft Family Safety account and experience a kid-friendly web with Kids Mode. The new Microsoft Edge is now compatible with your favorite extensions, so it’s easy to personalize your browsing experience. Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 changelog: Migration to improved V2 architecture for Workspaces. Workspaces, introduced in Edge in 2022, allows users to create durable sets of tabs that can be saved and shared with others. In order to improve reliability and performance of this feature, the following changes are being made: Migrating data for saved Workspaces from OneDrive/SharePoint to Edge Sync service Removing the collaboration/share functionality of this feature For organizations who have disabled Sync through policy, the existing v1 Workspace data will still be migrated to the new architecture. New v2 Workspaces created after migration won't sync across devices and will remain local to each device. This update occurs on a progressive rollout beginning in Edge Stable v145 and will continue rolling out in Edge v149. For more information, see Getting started with Microsoft Edge Workspaces. Feature Updates Passkey Sync for Enterprise Users. Microsoft Edge is introducing support for passkey synchronization for enterprise users, enabling secure, passwordless authentication across devices. Passkeys created in Edge can now be synced seamlessly, improving sign-in experience while maintaining strong security standards. Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this change, check back as we continue the rollout. Enterprise WebView2 runtime downgrade via DowngradeVersion policy. Administrators can temporarily roll back specific applications to a previous WebView2 Evergreen Runtime version (N-1 or N-2) using the new DowngradeVersion policy in msedgewebview2.admx. The Downgrade Version policy allows enterprises to mitigate critical regressions by specifying per-application exe-to-version mappings. The Edge Updater installs the target version side-by-side, and the WebView2 Loader redirects targeted apps accordingly. Downgrades auto-expire with each new WebView2 release: apps pinned to N-1 remain on the same version (now becoming N-2) and will auto-update in the next release, while apps pinned to N-2 will revert to the current Evergreen version. The policy applies only to enterprise-managed devices (domain-joined or MDM-enrolled). For more information, see Microsoft Edge WebView2 Policy Documentation | Microsoft Learn. Collections retirement. Collections has been removed in this update. Users can no longer access or use the feature. To keep saved content, users can export it, or move all pages to Favorites before updating to Microsoft Edge Stable 149. For more information, see Organize your ideas with Collections in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Support. Modern, unified, and updated Look and Feel. Microsoft Edge has updated the Look and Feel to give customers a unified experience across all of Microsoft AI surfaces including Copilot and Bing. This changes multiple elements of the UX such as spacing, corners, fonts, default colors, etc. Clarify choices surrounding third-party cookie settings. Language under Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies are clarified to better describe the choices users have in managing third-party cookies. Custom primary password retirement. Users are no longer able to create a new custom primary password in Edge Settings edge://settings/autofill/passwords/settings. Any users who are still using a custom primary password will be automatically migrated to device authentication. Additionally, the PrimaryPasswordSetting policy will no longer support the WithCustomPrimaryPassword option. For more information, see Keep your saved passwords private in Microsoft Edge | Microsoft Support. Unifying Copilot Chat policy controls. The Microsoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled policy is the standard for configuring Copilot Chat. Previously, this behavior was controlled by blocking the Copilot extension, either explicitly or by using the * wildcard via the ExtensionSettings or ExtensionInstallBlockList policies. Extension and sidebar policies no longer affect the appearance or functionality of Copilot Chat. Copilot address bar suggestions were also tied to extension policy settings. Starting in Microsoft Edge version 149, admins can use the CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled policy to manage this behavior. Intune MAM Protected Downloads. The protected downloads feature for Intune MAM is now available for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) devices, which aren't managed by a tenant.
