Bug Reports for AutoPatcher 4.2

[FlishFun Veteran]

First... did a Japanese one sneak in?? Whoops! :pinch: That will be fixed... and did I use the wrong slash on a switch? Hrmm... let me know if that works... very interesting! Good work guys! (Y) What would I do without ya? ;)

[cpugeniusmv]

worked like a charm with the reversed slash!

only error i got was windows messenger.

and if you're going to make a tweak to remove java shortcuts, here's the whole thing:

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

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.

Thanks cpugeniusmv, After reversing the offending slash, ticking the .NET Framework box and saving as Defaults I burned a CD and tested on a clean install of WinXP SP-1. 114 patches and tweaks took 35 minutes and went off without a hitch. I checked Windows Update just to be sure and all was A-Okay! Thanks to one and all! :p

Well I'll be... all that cause of one slash. Well I am truly sorry I didn't catch it... still amazed that on my PC and all the people I had test it, it never came up with the error. Well thanks, and know that it will be fixed in the Jan release. :D

FlishFun, you is still da Man! If there is a wish list for January's release, I'd like to suggest all the stuff that's on Anti-Spy 3.72; I know you already have some of the stuff, but the first thing I do after AutoPatcher is install Anti-Spy and it stops the rest of the "Phone Home" features of WinXP.

I know you probably saw it, and I hate to repeat myself...

but are you going to make the January release so that you can uninstall Windows Messenger without having to install MSN Messenger 6.1?

Whoops! Good thing ya repeated yourself! :) I didn't see that. Yes, I meant to do it this time and didn't... so in Jan it will be in the same section, but underneath (so you don't have to install MSN Messenger). :)

@ITinerant - I'll check it out. (Y)

FLISHFUN: about the bootstrapper (install.exe)

can we just delete it "NOT NEEDED"

or if it's important for the setup >>>>can you post here the english version of the file (just 96 k) so we can replace it...

thanks to all

It's not needed, must have slipped in there without me noticing... just delete it. :)

[freakyfriday]

i got bugs,

[freakyfriday]

another one

[freakyfriday]

last one

[cpugeniusmv]

Some of these issues have been resolved, and will be fixed in the next release (january)

Instructions on fixing the last two errors:

1. Find the file called "NETFrame11.axp" in "AutoPatcherXP\AXPFiles"

2. Open it up in notepad

3. At the end of the line, notice the install \q"

4. change the backslash ( \ ) to a forward slash ( / )

5. Save the file

now those last two errors won't show up anymore.

as for the first one, it might help if you could find out which update that happend during...the error box is covering it up :-\

[OptiPlex]

It looks like it's happening during the MDAC install :o

the error of the .net framework is caused by the demember update if you didn't have the .net framework from the november release and try to install the .net framework from december it will give you that error

solution:install the .net framework from the november release and run the december update of the .net framework and it will install properly

it's been tested

no, it was a mistyped slash....a backslash ( \ ) instead of a forward slash ( / ) in the "NETFrame11.axp" file...

i ran the Dec AP on a clean installation (no november update) with the adjusted slash, and that fixed it.

You're 100% correct. I thank you all for your hard work in helpin' me stamp out these last remaining bugs! :D

[CyberFox]

I have problem...

When I'm trying to install it says: "Checking defaufts" and freezes...

Why?

My machine:

Celeron 700, ABIT BH6 (Intel440BX), 256 SDRAM,

Windows XP PRO ENG SP1a

[akaladis Veteran]

CyberFox, are you running from CD? is it the December release?

/Raptor

[CyberFox]

No, I download it, unpack and run from HDD...

[lardiop Veteran]

Just curious...

Isn't the DVD decoder pack for WMP9 a "pay for" addition from MS?

[Kelsenellenelvian]

Nope not a pay for addition just DVD codecs MS released for Windows Media Player 9.

[akaladis Veteran]

CyberFox, and then you ran the Autorun Menu??

[1ComputerGuru]

Okay.....1st my compliments on an outstanding program. Then will add some additional info ref'd to the minor problem with the .NET installations (on the Dec Full install program). I'm sure that this small problem has been addressed to some extent; but, this is what was noticed on 2 seperate computer updates. The updates were done from a burnt CD in which I had already corrected the \q to /q typo within the "NETFrame11.axp" file.

On the 1st machine, I left the default (both items ticked) to install both the .net framework and the update. An error ballon?? occurred for the Update installation (NDP1.1-KB824629-x86.exe) and the update stalled until you pressed the "ok" button and then preceeded until the autoupdater ending. Apparently neither the .net framework or the update patch installed; because, after rebooting - ran the windows update and it listed the .net installation as still needing to be installed. Now on the 2nd machine, ran same cd configuration but only leaving the .net framework install ticked and untick the .net update. This setup ran flawlessly from begining to end and installed the .net files properly.
