Stand-Alone Modules for AutoPatcher

[akaladis Veteran]

Since we use regedit /s it doesn't break anything. It just changes the doubleclick behavior. AutoPatcher doesn't simulate a doubleclick, so there is no problem.

Good day all,

A quick little mod for adding "Add/Remove Programs" to the right click menu of the My Computer icon...

addremove_programs.amp

Props out to Blaze for putting up with my inane questions about mod creation, and a big thanks for certifying it for me as well.

Hope it's of some value to someone.

Forgot the corresponding undo file....

unzip the following file into the tools\tweakundo folder of your Autopatcher install directory.

undo_addremove_programs.zip

Here's another that adds a service to help with slow log off and unreconciled profile problems.

User Profile Hive Cleanup Service

uphclean.amp

More Info

This one is not official though...

One more for now....

This version of the Windows Media Player 10 module will install completely silently, with system restore turned off, and will accept the EULA and Privacy Statement automatically, as well as accepting the default (all) file associations.

Basically, it'll install without displaying a dialog at all, and will allow wmp10 to be run without the usual setup dialogs appearing on first run.

wmp10.amp

Later all,

Thanks Raptor!

Here's a package to install Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 with a custom transform and then install the 7.01 update

The custom transform prevents the creation of the shortcuts on the desktop and startmenu, as well as the shortcut in the common startup folder. Also, the adbar in the top right corner is removed, as is all the built in advertising junk. The update functionality is left intact, although a "corporate" transform that has that locked down as well is included (edit the .amc to point the transform to corporate.mst instead of home.mst).

I've also included the .itw file, for use with the InstallShield Tuner 7.0 for Adobe Acrobat (available Here) so that you can easily further customize the transform.

Since the EULA is automatically accepted, I should probably mention that if you use this module, you *should* take it upon yourself to find, read and understand the EULA on the adobe site.

Unforutunately, adobe uses DWORD registry values to set major and minor version numbers, so until AP can read these values, I've had to fudge the detection a bit. As well, if you already have 7.0 installed, this module will not currently uninstall or "repair" it, so you should manually uninstall it from Add/remove programs before reinstalling using AP.

Comments welcome.

I may have missed a thread about it, but I'm just wondering if anyone could give me a link to instructions on how to create my own.

simply open up the module editor in autopatcher\tools and fill in the details.

Any q's just ask

a few tips:

1) the priority field is to determin the order things are installed, you should usually put the date the update/tool/program/tweak/etc was created!

2) if you save a file as "test", the full name will be test.amc.

you should then create a folder called test.amc_files to store files in for that module.

3) if you follow tip 2 you can use "Module:\" to specify the modules folder when entering the install instructions.

4) Always make or include existing parent module files when distributing a module.

5) Individual modules are released as .amp files (not amc, amp !)

An amp file is just a zip file with the extension renamed to .amp from .zip!

Although someplaces wont let you upload amp files, so upload the .zip instead, and explain that people should either rename to .amp themselves, or just use it as it is and use a zipping utility to unzip files to the autopatcher\modules folder.

Any way to get those updated? Just downloaded a program called Silence Of the Foxes, need to play with it but it's supposed to be a silent repackager for FF and extensions.

The amc file on paint.net doesn't have any of the fields filled out.

[gandolas]

^ I've downloaded it to check, and has all fields filled.

Try do download it again, decompress it using Module Installer, and put the extracted files in \AddOns.
