just go delete the files optiplex is talking about from autopatcher's bin folder :)

wherever you see "xml" in \bin folder, kill it... same goes for scrrun.dll :)

Hello Group;

Removeing the above listed files from Autopatcher solved my "WFP" problem.

I was only able to try it out on one PC. I used the "ultralight data base".

Thanks for the fix.

I had a question about the removed files. What are they for, and is updateing them needed ? If so how ?

My PC Cillin 2002 antivirus program detects viruses in the Java (the Sun Java, I think) files after I install this version of AutoPatcher, and it was the same with the previous version. Have you verified those Java distributions for viruses? Thank you.

Any chance we will see an update to the Autopatcher 2000 to include up to current updates and hotfixes released since October? If yes, any idea as to when a new version will be out for Autopatcher 2000? If no, any info on where someone could find and download a collection of the Windows 2000 stuff updated and patched since then?

I will start off by saying to all that that read this that I put the 'N' in novice...just so that is understood.

Anyway, my problem is with downloading Autopatcher Ver 4.6.24

I have downloaded the full version on two separate occasions (using dial up!!) and there has been a problem when I unpack the file. The first time there were around 100 "broken files" and auto patcher wouldn't start. So I downloaded it again and the second time there were 300 "broken files" same result.

What is the problem?

I have 2000 sp4

I use flashget download manager with dial up.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

its coming along but theres still quite a lot to do.

when i made the 1/2 week estimate i didnt fully realize just how much work it was.

But dont worry im still working on it and its my main priority to get it done.

Hi:

I downloaded the AutoPatcher 2000 exe and it was totally awsome. I can't thank the team enought.

It was simple to use, namely:

1. run the .exe and select the same folder as AutoPatcher 2000.exe to put the output into (or create another folder for the output if you wish)

2. Then run AutoPatcher_menu.exe and select the option to install autopatcher.

3. Make your selections (or use the defaults) and sit back and wait for installation to complete.

4. Reboot and you're done. Easy and your system is mucho better.

I saw a lot of exchanges on how to set up the iso from a cd rom. They sounded painful. Downloading the exe and running it is soo much easier.

Microsoft should kiss your boots for this service, but knowing them they won't and probably will give you a hard time since customer service and user friendly were never their strong suits.

Thanks again.

and when AP2K gets ported to the AutoPatcher5 system, it'll be even awesomer (yes, I'm aware that isn't a word :laugh: )

I downloaded and ran today the Autopatcher2000 program. What an awesome system. Microsoft should give you donation (even if anonymously) because of the bandwidth you must save them.

I had one glitch with the first run of the program. IT got to 8% on WMP9 and my CPU usage went to 100% and stayed there, with nothing happening like forever. So I killed the process a.l.a. taskmanager and ran it again with the WMP9 deselected since I already had it installed anyway. This one completed successfully.

I then went to Windows Update and checked for new updates . It found 8 . Here are the KB numbers.

I hadn't previously read this thread, and therefore had not removed any files from the bin folder and had no other issues. So now that I have the extra updates, can I add them to my database as custom programs or not? Or is that function for installing stuff like Adaware and Spybot S&D?

Kerry

Well, this release (AutoPatcher 2000) is quite old as you can see (dated October 2004) so some new hotfixes are not included. Being based on the AutoPatcher 4.6 engine, adding your own stuff is a little difficult, since there is a central 'database'-style file. New releases, based on the AutoPatcher 5.0 engine are quite easy to customize, since every item is a stand-alone module. AutoPatcher 2000 will be transfered to the new engine sooner or later.

Yes I was aware of the age, and therefore expected that there would be extras to grab after the Autopatcher run. I posted the numbers just to inform exactly what has been added since October, right up until today.

Even though the extras were only 8.9MB and took only a few minutes on broadband to get, for the people I am planning to help, I still wouldn't like to go out to Update for even those 8MB, expecially on dial up, if they are paying me for my time. Therefore I would want them on CD either standalone or within Autopatcher.

I'm just trying to work out the best way to do that. The documentation that comes with Autopatcher 2000 speaks about customization and adding extra programs to the install. I just wondered if that was aimed at extra hotfixes or programs like SpyBot or Anti Virus.

I really would like to get these machines as protected as possible, BEFORE they need to connect to the Internet.

Kerry.

Actually, there's no real difference between a hotfix and a program. Just as long as you know how to silently install the hotfix/program. If I remember correctly (it's a long time since I touched AutoPatcher 4.x source) you would need to assign a uniqueID of KBxxxxxx for the hotfix to make detection work (since back in those day we had no big detection mechanism - hotfixes were given uniqueIDs of KBxxxxx/Qxxxxxx).

Yes would be nice but WHEN? :p

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
