I didn't know where to post this but...

Could they 'add' to the next release an option for systray to use more 256 colours instead of 16? As in from http://www.dr-hoiby.com/TrayIconIn256Color/

After running autopatcher explorer was replaced I assume, and when I run the activex script on that page it says it won't work with my version of explorer.

[akaladis Veteran]

As far as I know explorer.exe is in no way changed by AutoPatcher. It could be a hotfix, which replaced it. We will look into the 256 colour systray and see if there's anything we can do.

Explorer went from:

243,472 bytes 5.0.3700.6690 to

242,448 bytes 5.0.3900.6824

(From the backup of explorer made before I applied autopatcher and the 256 colour thing)

I had all the updates on windows update (besides the bookshelf one), maybe not the ones from the last 2 weeks, if there were any.

I don't know about manual patching , but it was the KB324446 hotfix that updated explorer.exe

AutoPatcher 2000 4.6 (October '04 Update) is out!!!

Hello all! Finally after long wait, AutoPatcher 2000 is finally out!! :) Here are some quick details:

Info on version 4.6:

Full File Size: 263 MB (7z Executable)

Lite Package Size: 236 MB (7z Executable)

UltraLite Package Size: 98.7 MB (7z Executable)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is great! :woot: I'm looking forward to using this on a friend's machine (who needs the help badly. :p

However, I'm still confused on one issue. :wacko:

What's the difference between the Full, Lite and UltraLite packages? I've tried digging around here for the answer to that question, but no luck. I found a post that had some links to describe the differences between the APXP packages, but they came out to 404's. :no:

In addition to answering me here, could that be put in the FAQs? I'd appreciate it.

Thanksamundo and congrats on finishing AP2000!

Very good work, i wish there was an option to install Internet Explorer 6

[caesar]

There is allready one on the main "AutoPatcher Menu" thing. :)

[paratrupr]

...

[infini]

Sorry didn't see it. Thanks :) Is it better ot install first Internet Explorer 6 and then the install the updates or the opposite?

[akaladis Veteran]

first IE6 then the updates... im quite sure AP will not continue unless IE6 is installed

You are quite correct, sir. Wish we could figure out a way to get it installed without having to reboot (and be able to continue with the other patches), but so far, we can't, and honestly, I think we won't ever be able to. Either way, it's easy enough to install it, since I included it. :happy:

[paratrupr]

Every install of IE since its inception requires the reboot. Such a pain in the ass. :angry:
