Oh, ok =)

I guess this is also said somewhere, but where's the changelog for the february version?  :blush:

February 2005 is just a rollup of the patches Microsoft released a few days ago. You can see what's included here. February patches/updates are marked as such (blue text on the right).

^ No. Where do you see that?

Stupid me, I downloaded Autopatcher for someone at school and I looked at the date creation, but that means the date the file was downloaded, :whistle:

:D

edit: I did not want to open a thread for this because I think the question is pretty easy to solve. I only see it this way on my dad's PC, why is that?

I can only see one post, and the rest like this. :unsure:

I have changed a lot of settings under My Controls and it still the same.

Another thing that I have noticed, Seems there is no unistaller for this program.  How are you supposted to properly remove autopatcher from the registry, if it even uses the registry.

^ AutoPatcher itself does not use the system registry. It's up to the modules to provide an uninstaller.

as raptor said, theres no uninstaller for autopatcher because essentially autopatcher doesnt install itself, what it does is extract itself to a folder (by default in the programs folder so you can find it easily) where you can then run it to quickly install the updates, tweaks, and tools it contains.

modules do use the registry so that autopatcher can detect they have already been installed. Most use registry entries installed by the update or tool itself, however some use there own entry.

the tweak modules are one example.

If you want to completely remove the registry entries for tweaks, just delete these two entries:

HKCU\Software\Autopatcher\Tweaks

HKLM\Software\Autopatcher\Tweaks

If you want to remove just one or too, delete the approphriate entry within those keys.

And for removing the tweaks themselves from the registry, use this page with undo files here (eventually youll be able to use autopatchers regundo tool).

removing the updates and tools is done with windows add/remove and its uninstaller will remove its own entries.

^ Only Jason (Flishfun) has the permission to change/update www.autopatcher.com. I hope this changes soon.

Work's been hell... I had over 100 pages of greenbar to go through and a limited time to do it (was bringing it home as well as pouring over it at the office). Finally finished it and passed it on to the person who needed it. Anyways, to sum that up, I'm back updating the site. It will have a very new look soon (nice, not dark, etc), so I'll keep you posted. Might have a screenie in a day or three. :yes:

^ Good. It would be better though if you just open your MSN once in a while, to let us know you're alive and well.

Whoops, been so busy I didn't even notice I was signed out! :pinch: I'll be sure and check to make sure it's on when I get back to my PC (sittin' at my new VPN server trying to figure out why it hates me).

Something funny, I have first installed the Jan update (extracted via the installer the files) then the Feb one (same thing as the Jan one) and noticed there are two critical updates missing, a .NET Framework SP1 update and some other crap, don't remember exactly.. :rolleyes: It's me or you guys are aware of this? :huh:

most likely you downloaded the lite version, not the full version.

.net among other things isnt included in lite, see here

No, I got the full version, and I've said the .NET Framework SP 1 isn't there (at least at me), also KB885836 and KB887472 have been installed via Windows Updates.. :huh:

Umm.. probably I've got the lite version of the Feb update or something.. Isn't AutoPatcher_XP_Feb2005_Upgrade a full one?

ok,

1)the .net1.1 and .net 1.1 sp1 updates are definately included in the jan release.

if it just didnt install its because there was a problem with the .net module, you can get the new fixed .net module here.

if you dont have the files and folders in autopatchers module directory (c:\program files\autpatcher\modules), either you have the lite version, or it didnt extract fully for some reason.

try re-extracting, or even possibly redownloading.

2)if you check the list here the other two updates arent included, perhaps they were released after the latest autopatcher releases, if so they will probably be included in the next release.

note, there isnt a lite version of the feb release.

full versions include updates + addons and tweaks, lite versions include updates + a few addons.

the feb release only contains about 14 updates, so theres no need for alite version.

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
