Windows Media Player 10 option is broken in the August release.

Clean install, run autopatcher, selected Media Player 10. I let it finish, reboot, headed to MicrosoftUpdate, which informs me that WMP10 is an available download. Re-ran Autopatcher, which tells me that WMP10 is installed, but when I run MediaPlayer from the Start Menu, WMP9 starts up. I've run this on three clean installs with the same results each time.

The "Save as Defaults" feature

The feature which was dumped in previous builds of AutoPatcher 5.x is back! It's not directly visible, so I will try to explain how it works.

  • Saving your selections
    This shouldn't be hard to do; all you need to do is hold down the Shift key on your keyboard and move your mouse over the "Module Details" button. The button caption will change to "Save as defaults". Press it (while still holding Shift) and you will be asked for a location to save defaults. Once this is done, you can close AutoPatcher. Your selections were exported to an 'answer-file'.
  • Loading your selections
    AutoPatcher will only load your selections when told to do so. This involves commandline arguments. You will need to point AutoPatcher to your 'answer-file' by calling "/defaults:PathToAnswerFile". For example, if you have saved your selections to "C:\Folder\Answers.ini", you should use "/defaults:C:\Folder\Answers.ini".
  • Note #1
    Never, I repeat, never use quotes. Even if the path to the answer file contains spaces, AutoPatcher will handle it without quotes.
  • Note #2
    Always use the /defaults argument last. If, for example, you need to provide two commandline arguments like "/defaults" and "/noeula", place the "/defaults" argument last.

Wow thanks alot, I love autopatcher and I look foward to every new release. Just one little note, it said my OS was XP Professional but I am using the Home edition, I am sure it makes no difference but I though I would mention it.

^ Check the MD5 hash.

The file may be corrupt.

I have the MD5 hash quoted. The file is not corrupt, I've now downloaded from 2 different sources and still get the same screenshot.

This is the only release of AutoPatcher I have had a problem with.

There must be a bug somewhere....

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      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.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      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!
