Jan update problem

[BananaMan]

See the errors that are attached to this post and the following post. They happen in sequence, with the second one happening immediately after the first.

I ran Jan Update by installing the original AutoPatcherXP and installing the Jan update over it using the installer. I don't need to install all the updates up to Jan, do I?

[BananaMan]

After this error, AutoPatcherXP crashes.

ditto here .. i got the same errors.. allthough i cant remember if the exact same files were the source of the error.

my install did complete.. and complete with a reboot.. and ive had no problems as of yet..

By the way, I tried de-selecting the offending update but it still produced an error, this time without the first prompt.

Actually, I am 99.9% sure you need to apply ALL the updates if you are just upgrading the orignal. Otherwise just go download the full version.

Someone else asked about this at this thread [LINK]

[BananaMan]

Hm, alright, I'll try applying all of them AutoPatcherXP updates and get back to you. Thanks!

[BananaMan]

Yay! Seems to be working now. Thanks nytmarezz, it makes far more sense to apply all of them now that you mention it.

I just did a clean install of my XP Pro and then applied AutoPatcher XP 1/2004. After that I installed StyleXP 2.0. I, however, couldn't apply themes/visual styles because of a build number problem; my Windows version is showing as 183501929.

Best,

The StyleXP problem is gone after installing Flyakite's Pack v.4 :D

Thanks guys for the fabulous job!

Yep, the Update will only work if you have the previous release (Jan Update for Dec, Feb Update for Jan, etc)... if you skip one, it won't work, sadly. :(

Hi Guys

Having used the full 12/03 AutoPatcher & installed it to a folder in Program Files - and then run it, can you please advise how to install the 1/04 update. I tried this but it appears to install but I cannot see any result. :( Also if I try to run th 12/03 full again it says it cannot run.

Can someone please run thru' the procedure for both from the beginning.

Thanks in advance. :unsure:

Here ya go:

Step 1: Extract the December Full Version somewhere out onto your Hard Drive.

Step 2: Extract the Jan Update out somewhere onto your Hard Drive.

Step 3: Run the Update.exe file in the Extracted Jan Update Folder.

Step 4: When prompted, browse to the AutoPatcher.exe file located in your December Release Folder.

Step 5: Let it update.

Step 6: Run AutoPatcher_Menu.exe from your December Release Folder, it will now Be the Jan Release.

The End! :)

I also have a problem. When I installed the Dec. Update, it took me like an hour and a half. When I installed the Jan. FULL update which is supposed to have everything from the previous ones in it, it took like ten minutes and nothing much changed. I installed the Jan. Update on a clean system just reinstalled. Can I install the Dec full even if I already installed the Jan full?

[LiLViEtDuDe917]

this seems to be the only thing installed

Hmmm... when you installed the Jan Update, you had everything checked?? That's quite odd... and it was a freshly re-installed system?

Oops! I applied the Full AuthoPatcher Jan. Update to a clean install. I had almost all the options selected. Installation finished very smoothly. When I tried to configure the Messenger, I didn't find it there. So, I checked Windows Updates and ended up having to install 25 critical and recommended updates. Here're the critical updates:

330994

Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 6 SP1 (KB824145)

Security Update for Microsoft Data Access Components (KB832483)

Security Update for Microsoft Windows XP (KB828035)

Security Update for Microsoft Windows XP (KB825119)

Update Rollup 1 for Microsoft Windows XP (KB826939)

Security Update for Microsoft Windows (KB824105)

Security Update for Microsoft Windows (KB823182)

Security Update for Microsoft Windows (KB824141)

Security Update for Windows XP (KB824146)Download size: 1.5 MB

814078: Security Update (Microsoft Jscript version 5.6, Windows 2000, Windows XP)

Update for Windows Media Player Script Commands (KB828026)

Interesting... all of that should have installed. :s The only way I could think it wouldn't... hmmm... question, when it first ran, did it ask you if you wanted to use logs that it found? If so, that could have caused this...

[LiLViEtDuDe917]

yep, thats about the same problem with mine. I didn't even have windows media player 9 installed afterwards. Yes, this is a clean install, i got ready for the jan. update because i thought that it would include the nov. and dec. ones too. I got the pack that was about 220 mb and all except maybe 3 were selected.

That's extremely odd. :/ That contains everything... hmmm... we'll have to look into this more. I wonder if anyone besides you two have had this issue. :huh:

[kajouma]

I, as I mentioned above, had the same problem. When I tried to use them, the Messenger and Windows Media Player were gone and I couldn't repair them either. I reapplied the AutoPatcher but it was in vain, I got the same problem: most of the selected updates weren't installed and the files for Messenger and WMP were removed from my computer. I had to use the file versions of both programs to install them.

Now, I reinstalled Windows and applied the December Version of AutoPatcher and everything thing works like a dream. I could even use StyleXP v2.0 without getting the Windows build number error.

Best and thanks for your effort and time to resolve these issues.

Well, so far the only ones reporting this are you and LiLViEtDuDe917... and I feel bad because it seem to work fine for me here, and no one else is reporting the issue. :/ Anywho... we'll work on it, and if anyone else has an issue with this, please post!

[flash_st]

ok, is there an uninstall button for the jan release? I'm thinking of installing the dec. release and then doing the 22 mb update for the jan. one.
