Things missing

a. Hacked files
Since I had to work on this release by myself, I decided [b]not[/b] to include any hacked files. This means you will not find any uxtheme or tcpip fix. Of course, modules can be done for those later.

b. Registry undos
The Registry Undo tool will not function. We will need to rearrange the registry undo files. If you need to undo a registry tweak, you may ask for the specific file in the forum.

Torrents

BitTorrent is a P2P system that makes transfering large files (or groups of files) amongst a large group of people easy, fast and efficient. The BitTorrent network is impressive mostly for the speed and reliability with which you get files that have been recently released. As long as a .torrent file has enough people sharing then you can be assured that it will start quickly and maintain a good download speed.

Always remember to leave your BitTorrent client open to help distribute the files!

Sorry, I can't.

IMO, you should have mod privs over this sub-forum... (but only this one) because you're the project manager, and it's a bit of a PITA from what I see that you have to wait for some1 else to edit/sticky/remove posts/threads that contain important info etc....

Maybe we should PM someone higher up about this...

Thanks for the quick response

so after we have run the AP5 executable, it installs itself into the program files folder, are we then able to burn to disk the ap folder that is in program files, and will it work from a cd, like APXP 4.x?

or does this version have to run from the local hdd?

A couple of comments/questions.

When installing, is there supposed to be an icon to the AutoPatcher program placed on the desktop/start menu?

Also, when I run AutoPatcher, I am prompted to located 'CDBurnerXP Pro 3.msi'. I don't know if this is because I have CDBurner Pro installed (which I do) or because a removed module isn't quite setup right.

This is a great program. A sincere thank you to Raptor and everybody who has been involved in development.

Respectfully,

Jacob

AutoPatcher will not clutter your desktop or start menu. Some people only want to extract and burn so I respect that.

CDBurnerXP is probably using some old file which gets updated by AutoPatcher (or one of its modules itself).

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
    • Arkane, Ninja Theory, and Double Fine might be on the chopping block too.
