@theblazingangel on W2k, Windows2000-KB931836-x86-ENU.exe i dont see in AP Feb. i only just got this update at the end of march after a clean install.

KB931836 doesn't apply to windows 2000. there is no mention of windows 2000 in the KB article, and a search of the microsoft download center turns up no results for it...

Actually that's not true. There is a KB931836 for Windows 2000. However it isn't a publicly available patch. It is only available through Microsoft's Extended Hotfix Support program, which is a $4000 program I might add.

919071 - FIX: Flickering may occur after seeking when you play back interlaced content through the Video Mixer Renderer 9 (VMR9) with DXVA enabled in Windows XP

I noticed this was removed in the January release. Why was it removed? My quartz.dll is still old.

(I'm referring to the XP 32bit release)

Thanks

@marrone, KB919071 was replaced by something else, thats why it was removed, my copy is version 6.5.2600.3024. the probable reason why yours is still old is because i removed wmp10 updates from autopatcher several months ago adding wmp11 in instead, so your probably missing the wmp10 updates. i will be creating a wmp10 addon pack this month so you'll be able to add that to the next release i'm creating and update wmp10.

I might very well be missing those updates. I'll have to check.

Thanks for the reply.

Macromedia Flash Player 9.0.45.0 Final

[supermouse]

Adobe flash player IE v9.0.45.0 MSI (install_flash_player_active_x.msi) may have some issue. every single time that i try install it in here it shows an dialog box asking for "install_flash_player_plugin.msi" that i was unable to track at my machine (except by flashplayer not ie, of course. but even this one, if selected, doesn't work also a valid source). so, i've changed the msi version by "install_flash_player_active_x.exe" file. it worked, but install string must change to:

install_flash_player_active_x.exe" /silent

detection should change too:

[DetectionRegistry]

RegistryPath=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Adobe Flash Player ActiveX

KeyName=DisplayVersion

KeyValue=9.0.45.0

and uninstall string:

"windows:\system32\Macromed\Flash\uninstall_activeX.exe"

flash player not ie doesn't have this issue

[glutton4sw]

installed fine for me, however i didnt download a MSI file, i installed it within IE

the install page i used is here:

http://www.adobe.com/go/getflash

i unchecked the option to install google toolbar

also have it installed ok on Firefox and Opera. download page is as above.

file downloaded is install_flash_player.exe

page to verify version installed is here:

http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

i don't know where the MSI based installers are..

i notice that AP uses MSI installers for both IE and nonIE:

install_flash_player_active_x.msi for IE

install_flash_player_plugin.msi for nonIE

[+theblazingangel MVC]

updated flash player. we use the msi installers which you get through the redistribution center. they're easier to use (msi switches for install/uninstall), and they don;t include the google toolbar.

[supermouse]

theblazingangel, i've got that msi file by the redistribution center. 3 times. every single time, it asked for that "install_flash_player_plugin.msi". uninstall previews version wasn't working. maybe that issue happend because of that, i don't know. and, by the way: install_flash_player_active_x.exe doesn't have google toolbar. about exe and msi, seems the same. i see no difference between a /qn and a /silent and booth do the same thing. if something goes wrong (that seems the case), the exe have an uninstall. the msi version ask for one. please, take a look:

http://img11.picsplace.to/img10/24/flash.gif

and, by the way: this screen was taken a few minutes ago and flash player (booth versions) are already installed. without any, it's the same

edit: i've forgot the last error message that msi installer gives:

http://img11.picsplace.to/img10/24/error1714.gif

i will take a closer look about that 1714 error. if it happends for other machines, i will have no choice. anyway, a version that have an uninstall is better

edit2: solved, with helps of msicuu2.exe (but not tested with other machines that already had flash(. but i still see no point in include a thing that needs a external tool to remove himself

@supermouse, i can't explain the problems you having. i installed the latest versions (msi's) and had no problem (i did them silently through autopatcher btw), they work fine.

the msi's are capable of uninstalling: go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{8186E1B9-DDC6-45B6-B9EB-C28947CBC4CF} and look in the 'UninstallString' key, you'll find: MsiExec.exe /X{8186E1B9-DDC6-45B6-B9EB-C28947CBC4CF}

if you change that to MsiExec.exe /qn /X{8186E1B9-DDC6-45B6-B9EB-C28947CBC4CF} you've got a silent uninstall instruction that autopatcher can use ;)

of course if you installed it with the .exe rather than the .msi i'm not sure if this data will exist for you...

[supermouse]

theblazingangel, in order to uninstall that msi from flash, that damm file is required, even if you run "windows:\system32\MsiExec.exe" /quiet /X{8186E1B9-DDC6-45B6-B9EB-C28947CBC4CF}

(that works anyway, without reboot. at least, i've already tried uninstall everything at once and i haven't got any reboot so far)

if that file is corrupted/missing, you can't uninstall. with the exe version, that is not required. that was my first attempt to solve that problem. even manual install of the preview version was giving me the same error. by the way: i've just tried .exe after my 3rd frustrated attempt to install/uninstall msi version. i was almost forgotting... adobe doesn't have just issues with flash in msi version. from times to times, adobe have problems with acrobat too. every single time, it asks for an missing file. every single time, you can solve it with msicuu2.exe too.

by the way: i'm missing/needing more checks just this uninstallations:

[+theblazingangel MVC]

@supermouse, wait for the new translation packs and you can get uninstall instructions for the above from that. i haven't added uninstall instructions to absolutely everything but most have them i'd say 90 - 95 %

KB934238 - On non-English versions of Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP, some text in the print dialog box unexpectedly appears in English after you install the .NET Framework 3.0

although it looks like a non-english, non-public hotfix, auto-update just downloaded and installed it on my system...

[supermouse]

an optional update, according to windows update website, for windows xp sp2:

update for Microsoft Core XML Services (MSXML) 6.0 Service Pack 1 (KB934268)

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=87548

i think that this one replaces msxml 6, that is already present on AP, because it says that can also be installed without any preview version of msxml6

also already reported, KB934238 also an critical update:

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=85688

[supermouse]

just also a tip: downloaded version of KB934268 seems hang in here. then, i've got that one from WU and extracted msi. then, it worked fine. even installing the downloaded version manually, WU shows that update also needed (and even version was fine). difference: WU have a english version, downloaded version seems translated

for KB934238, don't be fulled by size. it says that have only 4mb, but it's a lie. it have 2 parts, one with 13,1 MB and the other one with 1,35 MB. the biggest one is "XML paper specification shared components pack 1.0" and the other one is "XML paper specification shared components language pack 1.0". booth are extracted in here, because i've just found that at WU.

i was forgetting... shockwave seems that isn't opening a web browser at his instalation anymore :D

[glutton4sw]

@supermouse WU found KB934268 for W2K too. i downloaded and installed msxml6_x86.msi

does appear a replacement for MSXML6 in AP (msxml6.msi)
