I think that a lof of people have a "grey"version of one OS.....

If Microsoft will add a piracy check.....LINUX will come out of the darkness.......

Don't you think so?

But Autopatcher isn't software from Microsoft, it only makes it possible to do an installation at once :D If Microsoft thinks that they have to do a piracy check, a lof of forums will be gone soon........ if you feel the need or responsiblity to do that too. Just go with the flow.......

Do you really thank that programmers of applications like Veritas (Wininstall) gonna do this too? Only because they use MS products or codes? Microsoft writes on the website how to make MSI packages with third-party software. On the other hand it's a lot of work for programmers. That's the most positve point I see at this moment.....

One thing....does this belong to the section SPYWARE???

Okay people, you win! I will not enable the check. Let's hope Microsoft adds the needed checks in the hotfixes instead of the website.

Well, well let me say thanks.........Raptor. Did you really think Mircosoft would blame you or something like that? That's the last you have to worry about!

We'll see what Microsoft is going to do in the nearest future with this piracy thing.....I think that it will be available through the website only. Otterwise it would be unpossible to make SMS packages for sending to clients in a network.

Raptor, you are coinciding with Microsoft to help stop piracy. Is that what you really intend to do? What a pointless feature if you enable it. Are you trying to get brownie points here? You will lose a lot of support from the community if you enable this feature.

Worried that your pirated XP install can't be updated?

People, this topic was created for something else. Not to discuss about a piracy check.

I think that Raptor is right about it. If Microsoft will use the piracy check in a patch or hotfix it should be done in AutoPatcher too. Otherwise it would be illegal what we are doing.

If Microsoft will do the check trough the website (windows update) then the choice will be by Raptor. He will do what he thinks is best to too.

Now back to the start of this topic:

updates not applying

The End!! :sleep:

then the updates would check for themselves though !! no need for AP to do it itself :pinch:

but i agree, this topic has gone waayyy off topic, and in the end its up to raptor, whatever he decides im fine with :)

:D Framework installation troubles are gone :D
I will post here, later on this day or tomorrow (Sunday the 15th), the settings what are wrong and what should be done to fix it. Concerning the AutoPatcher Modules

Why not directly? It's my birthday....today....... :fun:

updates not applying:

Check the settings below for each module using the Autopatcher Module Editor 2.0

Microsoft .NET Framework version 1.1

Module name: renamed in the April release

File name: dotnetfx.exe (original filename)

In the tab folder ?Behavior? check the Value Priority

Be sure it has the date:

Priority=20030625

If you need to install the language pack

Filename: langpack.exe (original filename)

In the tab folder ?Behavior? check the Value Priority

Be sure it has the date:

Priority=20030626

Microsoft .NET Framework version 1.1 Service Pack 1

Module name: dotnet11sp1.amc

Filename: NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe (original filename)

In the tab folder ?Behavior? check the Value Priority

Be sure it has the date:

Priority=20040803

KB886903 Microsoft .NET Framework version 1.1 Service Pack 1 Security update

Module name: kb886903.amc

Filename: NDP1.1sp1-KB886903-X86.exe (original filename) or (after extraction) M886903.msp

In the tab folder ?Behavior? check the Value Priority

Be sure it has the date:

Priority=20050208

The KB886903 Microsoft .NET Framework version 1.1 Service Pack 1 Security update must be removed form the LITE version. Make it only avaiable in the full-version.

The dates are the most important settings that you need to check. As in the example above the installation of the modules works fine. The installation will be done depending on the order of the dates.

Within the explorer you will see an order of the modules / files in a different way. Don?t give that any attention, it?s all about the installation and the way AutoPatcher installs the modules.

    • Zen Browser 1.20.2b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders. Customizable UI: Personalize browser interface. Security Features: Inherits Firefox’s robust security. Fast Performance: Lightweight and optimized for speed. Zen Mods Customization: Deep customization with mods. Quick Access: Easy access to favorite websites. Open Source: Built on Mozilla Firefox with community collaboration. Community-Driven: Active development and feedback from users. GitHub Repository: Contribute and review the source code. Zen Browser 1.20.2b changelog: Security Mozilla Security Advisory 2026-54 New Features Updated to Firefox 151.0.3 Boosts now support a dark mode UI based on your system dark mode setting. Fixes Fixed auto focus for new windows not working. (#12112) Fixed desktop shortcuts showing zen as 'Nightly'. (#13745) Other minor bug fixes and performance improvements.

    • Looks the same as the Air, actually. Check it out in person.
    • "This transition will take several years so we shouldn't bother doing it at all" is a naive take. This is completely normal for all specifications that cross-cut software, hardware and multiple industries. Look at the PCI specification for another example, consumers barely have PCI-E 5 yet PCI-SIG is working on PCI-E 8. AV2 will take multiple years to get adoption and even then, even a decade from now people will still have older hardware that doesn't support it. That's fine, because the savings still add up as newer devices add the hardware to deal with it. The goal is never to get 100% on the new spec overnight, but to gradually adopt it.
