Hey raptor,

I'm working on slipstreaming the feb release and need to customize the DB using a non-XP machine. In the Jan release you had a sweet database editor for the .apdb file. I see now you've switched to a .db format. Did you leave the editor out of this release, or do you not have one?

Can't wait to get to work...

Actually he's working on a New Database Editor, we hope to have it all done for the March Release, so let's all cross our fingers! :)

I posted in the DL forum but I also wanted to post here..

Ok Guys..

I'm so sorry,

the correct path to get the file from my server is

www.jaguar1.usouthal.edu/patches/files/AutoPatcherXP_Feb_Patched.zip

I ziped it up but didn't make it an exe like I had in the previous link.

Once again I am sorry for any problems this might of caused.

If you still have the old file.. if you just change the extention to .zip from .exe it should all work fine.

I have already PM'd fish with the correct link.

Once again I'm sorry for the mix up

Heya Guys,

Quick question.

I just unpacked APXP Feb, downloaded the Feb updates, and placed them in the respective places overwriting the previous files. FINE.

Is there a way that I can close back up everything and make it back to a .exe file like what APXP originally came in?

Thanks,

LIVESOCA

you'll need an archiver for that... for instance 7zip... compress it and then use the "make exe" option of your archiver... all archivers have such feature...

/Raptor

Yep... here's the exact settings you'll want... it's what I use to make it each time. :)

TY for the screenshot.. :D

Gonna give 7Zip a shot. Can 7Zip be used for the exact same compression extensions like WinRar?

LIVESOCA

A few... you can set it for Tar, Zip... dunno what else. I think that's it.

For those who might want to do the same stuff I did (Install the Feb update into the Feb release and create a new .exe), I'll tell you the final results for compression between WinRar and 7-Zip.

WinRar was set to maximum compression and 7-Zip was set to ultra.

Final Output for 7-Zip = 241 MB

Final Output for WinRar = 249 MB

*** Please note both apps did the same job, but WinRar did it in half the time of 7-Zip ***

Sorry, I didn't clock it (time).

I assume everyone will get different results.

Tested on a laptop

AMD XP-M 2500+ 512kb cache (Barton Core) @ 1866Mhz (not overclocked) and set to High Performance Mode

512MB DDR Ram

My fave feature of 7zip is it's ability to extract files out of almost anything (MSI, whatever) just by right clicking.  (Y)

Great, I will play more with the program when I get home.

"I'm @ work" = you're at work

"dealing with some stupid people" = posting in this forum and replying to us :p

    • At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
