Stand-Alone Modules for AutoPatcher

[Mike Gurkin]

I 'discovered' AutoPatcher a few weeks ago, and deeply appreciate the efforts it takes to keep it going. I used to keep all the MS Updates on a CD with a script to load them, and know from experience the effort it takes to stay on top of Microsoft's updates.

I've been looking for Stand-Alone Modules to use with Autopatcher, and find that almost all of the links in this thread are broken, which is not supprising with some of them being 2 years old.

Have I missed something, and is there an easier way to find them?

I'm particularly interested in Run_With_Arguments and Firefox.

Thanks,

Mike

[+theblazingangel MVC]

^ no

[the_guy]

Here is the Msgplus 3.63 module, and the 7-zip english modules (32 and 64 bit) updated to 4.42. Please note that they are in 1 zip and should be separated. The 64 bit module also will not work with the current version of AP x64.

7-zip 4.42 32 bits

7-zip 4.42 64 bits

Thanks for making them official blaze.

Could you please add a link to the messenger plus module in the top post?

the_guy

EDIT: Run with arguments.amp

Mirror (Convert 4.10, WinRAR 3.42 English, DLL & OCX self-registration, MSP Apply to, Run with arguments-already on gandolas?s website)

It would be really helpful if the modules on the mirror site were uploaded to a current address and the links were updated.

These links were in past posts, in case anyone was wondering. Page 8 in the default layout.

First of all AutoPatcher Rocks!

Okay I finally got thru all 14 frickin' pages of this damn thread and here is my conclusion:

Because Modules are the heart of AutoPatcher, and we all want more, they need to be easier to make and share.

-> a Tutorial for Modual creation is needed !!!

AND I'm willing to step-up and create it [ha - how 'bout that!] but need help

Questions/Comments:

1) Create a new thread - this one is too long and too old, and much that doesn't work

2a) Since threads stay around too long and downlaod space is always an issue, how about just posting the part of the module? [kudos to MazX_Napalm] May be import/export could be added to AutoPatcher Moldule Editor 2.x???

I think this MAY get around legal issues, cause the final product is not being issued just a decription of how it might be used.

2b) How was, what's between the stars below, created? taken from Page 12 of this tread... Any chance of import/export

Not sure where the origiional Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.4.amp went

So I recreated it.... attached here minus the download of spybotsd14.exe

Edited June 28, 2006 by RGabriele

I really love it using programs intended for saving me time, making me wasting it to get them functioning properly...

Thankfully I tested it before I gave it to my daughter (I love these "there is an error message on my screen"-phonecalls).

The following official modules have to be altered in order to make them work without that famous 'module panic' error (aka 'original programmer too stupid to check spelling'-error). Note that doing so renders the modules 'unofficial'.

that's because the parent module hasn't been included for some reason.

- download the attachment, extract the zipped files to autopatcher\modules.

- copy the module to the new 'stand_alone_mods' folder.

- edit the modules parent ID to 'STAND_ALONE_ENU'. yes, this will make it unofficial, but that's the fault of the module author, and hopefully they will fix it in future.

Module Authors

1) in future, all stand-alone modules must use the attached stand_alone_enu.amc parent module, and include it with the module (you can make a translated copy if you need too).

2) you should also use 'STAND_ALONE_ENU' as the parent ID.

3) you should also place the module itself inside the 'stand_alone_mods' folder included.

sa_enu.zip

sa_enu.zip

following modules need to be fixed like this ('STAND_ALONE_ENU' as the parent ID.):

7zip.amc for 7-Zip by Igor Pavlov v4.32

unlocker.amc for Unlocker 1.8.3 by Cedrick Collomb

paintdotnet.amc for Paint.NET 2.63

following modules need to be fixed like this (select 'This module is a child of the following module' & 'STAND_ALONE_ENU' as the parent ID.):

firefox_enu.amc for Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.4

For those unfamiliar, I thought I attached the altered files, but this doesn't work.

And, yes, except for the non-resizeablity, I like Autopatcher.

^ Fixed the ParentID of those modules.

Well AutoPatcher Team have I done something good?

Still learning, but am committed to using AutoPatcher and it making a difference for myself and my team.

Please give me your feedback :)

@8900,

And, yes, except for the non-resizeablity, I like Autopatcher.

Have you tried just grabing the bottom left corner of the AP window and just dragging it to the required size? :)

Kind Regards

Firefox 1.5.0.6? anyone

[ChiefZeke]

Modules should be updated:

WinRAR is now up to version 3.60

Paint.NET is now version 2.70

[callit]

Firefox 1.5.0.6? anyone

Actually, this shouldn't be too difficult based on the original 1.5.0.4 module. The only problem is finding a reliable registry key that will have an accurate current version in it.

For instance, on one of my PCs where 1.5.0.6 was installed as the first install of Firefox, the registry key (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox\CurrentVersion) shows 1.5.0.6 (en-us), but on a machine that's been upgraded it only shows 1.5 (en-us)

Unless someone can find a better registry key to work from... The only other I'm seeing of any potential use is HTLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Management\ARPCache\Mozilla Firefox (1.5.0.6) - but I'm not real comfortable with the values within that key without knowing more.

I'll post a Firefox 1.5.0.6 package in a few. For now, I'll just follow the original precedent of just setting the version to 1.5.

EDIT:

Firefox 1.5.0.6 Module is here: http://rapidshare.de/files/30238667/Firefo..._en-US.zip.html

Note: this is relatively untested, and should be treated as unofficial unless/until it's signed as official.

Corrupted archive... please re-attach it!

[duffydj]

Hello.

I?ve read many things here but i still not able to make my own modules..

I do everything as i?ve read, but in the end, when i?m try to install the modules, they are not listed in Autopatcher 5.1.

Can everyone tell me step by step how i can create my own modules. An example will be great, also.

And if someone coud explain with screenshots it would be magnificente...

I?ve read the Doc from RGabriele "How to create autopatcher modules", but i think that?s not pretty clear for people like me. I?m just get started with Autopatcher...

thank you. and keep up the good work
