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.

can you reproduce the error?

maybe write down what it says?

I have problem and I'll ask of it again...

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

What to do with it?

My machine:

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

Windows XP PRO ENG SP1a

Previously I used Autopatcher 4.0 without any problems....

xlnt work all in all flish, one problem i noticed is nothing major but worth fixing in the jan update.l

the tweakomatic shortcut created in the start menu is pointing to the database of its reg edits, not to the actual tweakomatic application.

it should point to tweakomatic.hta, though be warned most major antivirus programs will pop up an alert b4 you can run tweakomatic, but it is perfectly safe.

Whoops! Well, I'll fix that for Jan. :D

@CyberFox - I believe Raptor is checking into that... don't worry, we didn't forget aboutcha! :)

getting the same problem as the other user. Some files arent copying over when i do an upgrade from nov to dec release. i also suspect the XCOPY "%APUpd%\December\AutoPatcher XP" "%AutoPatcherXP_Dir%" /S /E /Y in the update.axp

question: does the autopatcherxp install xcopy on the machine? i did a search and my computer doesnt have xcopy.

anyone have a list of the files in autopatcherxp dec release they can send? i could rebuild it from there, because the files are in the ap_dec_update.exe they just dont update ...

ok i was thinkin it was like xxcopy ;) Still i cant get the files to copy over when running the updater, can anyone do a directory list of their autopatcher folder?

i dont have the WindowsXPMediaPlayer9DVDPack.msi thing either, i see a handful of files its not copying over.

Try this... open the AutoPatcher (the November Update). Get to the file tree... then exit. THEN run the updater. If it works, let me know... I think I have an idea...

nope, same results, besides the dvdpackage.msi, its' not copying over smigrate.cab startupcpl.exe target.dll, the aspi or vblibs directories, a whole bunch, so i manually copy'd em over, but i think i get new "errors" with that :) i ran this on a fresh install of winxp and dotnetfix.exe crashed and i got an installation failed box right before installing the target menu context. the path i did was from the first autopatcher, then upgraded with novemberupgrade, now i'm trying to upgrade again with dec upgrade.. should i just redownload the whole thing? i really need a print out of the directory. :( so i can compare. ie. c:\ dir *.* /s > list.txt

someone who downloaded the dec updater check your progfiles directory and see if it contains things like the aspi folder, tweakomatic stuff, target.dll , target.inf , startupcpl.exe , etc.. mine doesnt copy over to the november update even though i get no errors.

can anyone with ap dec in full, give me a readout of their directory ..at command prompt ... dir *.* /s > list.txt

here ya go.

ap.txt

Annoying bug in AP 4.2. If the user has Dual Head and the primary monitor is the right hand monitor with the secondary monitor to the left, the window placement is wrong.

It seems, it works out the full width of the desktop and then uses that to locate the window. Unfortunately, that's not right :(

/me points programmers to the MultiMonitor API reference in MSDN.

Another quick fix for the autopatcher flish, just noticed it myself, even if the shortcut you make by default pointing to the tweakomatic database is re-pointed to the actual application "tweakomatic.hta" as we've already discussed it will bring up the app, but say there is a script error, to fix this on the shortcut in the properties add

"%systemroot%\system32\" without the quotes to the "start in" field, and then it will work like a charm.

:p

thanks for the list , cpugenius, after comparing i only had to do a few things. The dec updater only deletes the unneccesary files from the nov package, it doesnt copy the progfiles over ,nor the undo tweaks, so i manually copied em over. then going from your list, my gpc.msi was only 4.5meg instead of 5meg so i got the new one from microsoft.com , from there after fixing the dotnet axp thing /q Everything installs without a hitch on 'shifys slipxp' :) real kewl.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
