AutoPatcher XP 4.5 Official Thread

[FlishFun Veteran]

FlishFun, I just noticed that the information posted on autopatcher.com under FTPs is wrong.

I remember you changed it to this

IP: neowin.serveftp.com

username: apxp

password: neowin

port: 2680

but is showing the old server info again, could you please update it?

Thanks Flish

How odd! :s Yeah, I'll change it now. (Y)

Yeah, thats very weird.

Thanks a lot :p

[FlishFun Veteran]

Yeah, thats very weird.

Thanks a lot :p

No prob, have no idea how it happened. :ermm:

[Ferret]

I also noticed Flish that you put my link on your site - It now works :)

It's an anti-leech script, and I added "www.autopatcher.com" but didn't think about "autopatcher.com".

I am only aloud 5 domains, and I got mine, neowin.net, and both of autopatcher domains ;)

So there's no posting the link else where ;)

Thanks,

Ferret !

[FlishFun Veteran]

Wouldn't think of it. :) Only here and the site is where I post. (Y)

What version of AutoPatcher are you attempting to run? You appear to have the symptoms of those who tried to run the old Jan Update file, instead of the full. Of course, the current newest file is Feb Full...

[lordtinuviel]

the latest.....the thing is i download it last week, at my pc and run it and works like a charm.....today i reformat cause i buy new videocard,soundcard etc and and want it a clean instalation, so i did it and run AP from my external HD and happen what i already told......i almost finishing installin xp again, lets what happen, anyway this time i'm gonna extraxt autopatcher i aint gonna run the extraxt copy that i already had in my external drive and see if it runs ok, hopefully it will do dont wanna format again :D

[FlishFun Veteran]

the latest

So you're running the February Release... 4.5, correct? Full? Lite? UltraLite?

[lordtinuviel]

yes feb 4.5 full

[lordtinuviel]

???

well i finish it gonna try again with AP wish me luck

[FlishFun Veteran]

Wow... I just, I just don't know what to say. I wish you luck, but honestly this is the first report of that happening from the Feb Full version. :s

[lordtinuviel]

delete old extraction and extrack a new copy and its workin fine now, thanks anyway......BTW this problem also happens to me with the december release too........

[lordtinuviel]

you know the only thing i can think of is that after i unpack it and run it the first time i move it from their location to my external drive, now i just delete it that extraction and did a new one and run it and its workin........

[FlishFun Veteran]

I tell ya, Daeron, that's very very odd. I can't think of a reason it would do that, offhand. But hopefully the checks we've built into the next release will stop it from happening. :happy:

[lordtinuviel]

ok thanks, i dont mind at all i still love AP, think its a great tool been using since the first one so keep the good work

I get a different md5 checksum than the on posted for the February Full download. I get "29807aca408f4a7092cc70d9e8161f6b"

I got it from the http://autopatcher.wvutech.edu/ mirror on your site. Should I install it anyways?

You can try, but it sounds like it may be a corrupt download. Does it even extract?

Yes. It worked perfectly. Excellent app. Thanks.

I did download a file with a corrupted database a couple of days back (dont remember the mirror). luckily I have Dsl to get it again ..

[akaladis Veteran]

maybe it was one of those custom packed files.. the ones which include all the small patches released after feb...

[blueshirt]

Compared to AP, is this any good?

[FlishFun Veteran]

Compared to AP, is this any good?

Funny story. After the first version of the AP came out, he wrote me and asked if he could be part of the team. I asked what he could offer, and it turns out he couldn't offer anything. So, I told him no, sorry. Since then, he's been on a mission to put down the AP. If you don't believe me, ask Raptor, we've found him in at least one forum puttin' us down and promotin' his patcher.

Pretty much, his is the same as our UltraLite version, though I haven't gone through his patches to see what he has. I probably should. lol

EDIT - His one mirror is down, so so much for checking it out. I did search filemirrors.com and Google and still nothing shows up. Oh well. *shrugs*

Thanks man. And it should be a day or two. I'm quite sick and had found a bug yesterday in the AP, so we'll see what happens. Don't worry, won't be too long, I promise. (Y)
