same thing!!!...with unchecked "keep backup ups where applicable"

also noticed something...after update 100 or so i hear 5-6 beeps & 1 critical stop beep...but not a window opening saying whats the error

any thoughts or suggestions???!?!...eager to reformat once again!!!

:-)

Mkay, I just got everything to install. I took the full december and used the Jan Update on it. It worked fine. NET and WMP9 are all installed.

@flash_st -- yea I got that too when I tried to install Jan Full. The Dec FULL that I updated didn't make any beeps though :blink:

@FlishFun -- Norton Antivirus 2004 marked your nosearchasst.vb as a malicious file. I told norton to disregard it, but just FYI.

EDIT : P.S. I had the "Keep Backups if Applicable" UNchecked both this time (when it worked with update) and the first time (when it didn't work with Full)

EDIT2 : About hte limited user account thing you mentionted FlishFun, i'm administrator.

WHat I did....

1) I extracted the DEC FULL

2) Then I UPDATED the DEC FULL with the JAN update (the smaller 24.8mb file)

3) Then I ran Autopatcher

Everything I have checked so far seems to have been updated properly. WMP9, windows hotfixes in ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS.....

Oh and it didn't beep while it installed.

I tried comparing the Jan FULL to my UPDATED Dec FULL

The DEC FULL (updated to Jan) is 652 Files

The JAN FULL (that doesn't work) is 651 Files

The size of the DEC FULL (updated to Jan) is 294mb

The size of the JAN FULL (that doesn't work) is 294mb

It also bugs me that I don't know how to REALLY check whether my DEC FULL (updated to Jan) actually worked.

Maybe FLish or Raptor could post a screenshot of their ADD/REMOVE programs window so that we could reference what is/should be in there??

I have the same problem as everyone else. I reformatted my PC add applied the January Full update. Once I had applied it I went to windows update and was missing about 25 updates. I then basically told autopatcher to do it again and this time i selected only certain sections of autopatcher and did it that way. It worked but felt a little messy.

Previous versions of autopatcher have all worked without a hitch. What I did notice was funny that the patches seemed to zoom through as if they weren't being applied which made me worried.

i got the same difference too in those 2 directories...1 file

The one file difference, is that when you upgraded from Dec to Jan, I had it backup the old Dec Database. That's your extra file. (Y)

@nytmarezz - It shouldn't matter if it was an updated Dec, or a Jan full, they should be identical.

@SharkFiNbowL - Best news I've heard all day. lol

Well to make your horrible day go worse FlishFun. I am having the same problem. I just used AutoPatcher 4.2.32 on a clean install of winxp sp1 and although it claimed to finish the updates aren't all isntalled like they should be. I have DirectX 9.0a and WMP 8.0 and when I go to windowsupdate I get about 30 updates i'm missing. While the update was going I heard a few beeps and a critical stop beep just like flash_st heard but there were no errors. The other odd thing is the progress bar.. I started out incredibly slow and then I looked up after 15 mins it was at 47% and then about 5 mins later it was saying Finished... That doesn't seem possible. I've included the files you wanted in case it helps.

To add another missing thing I didn't get windows media player classic and my search animated character is still there even though it was supposed to be disabled.

This is my first time using this program and I would love to get it working as I tend to reinstall every couple weeks. I also have a friend who runs a computer store and is constantly downloading windows updates and this would really help me out.

Thanks hope it helps.

@Tambu - This is simply very very odd... I have no idea, honesltly, why it's doing what it's doing. I plan on testing this again myself the second I get a chance to. The odd this is, not one of the 3 people I had test this reported this issue... and I didn't get it either. It's very strange. :/ Don't worry you guys... the SECOND I get a fix, I will release a patch. (Y)

I tried my test machine using both ways. The full January, said I still needed many updates. Then tried the December with January upgrade. Actually with the upgrade I had a couple fewer updates I needed. Both ways left with with WMP 8.0. I'm running it again like someone else did previously to see if anything changes. Good luck Flish!!

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
