Hey, the MSN-problem occurs randomly at different PC's here with AutoPatcher. At neither of them I installed the patch of the Win2000 wachtwoordenbeheer :s

BTW, I use this command to install AutoPatcher:

"C:\Program Files\AutoPatcher\AutoPatcher.exe" /skipreboot /defaults:C:\Program Files\AutoPatcher\Answers.ini

Works like a charm (ofcourse AFTER putting my answers.ini in the right directory ;) )

Well, about the command that and the parameters that you used, read more information here at this topic. The result is that your system did a reboot.

wrong

/skipreboot

good

/noreboot

About the MSN Messenger troubles I can't simulate these. Not on XP Home or XP Professional :wacko:

Installed it know a few times without any problems. I will do more tests to see when, what and why.........( I'm using a clean image, maybe that's why I don't have the problems) we'll see......

Thanks for your post!!

A question for the Dutch users!

What do you all think that I should do with the Framework Release 2.0? I could include it in the next release. The only thing is, it's English. That means that all items presented in our language (dutch) will be replaced with the English language.

If only a few people would say include it, then I'll get my doubts about it. So, shoot!!!

, but continue overhere at the request of DaFlapDrol.

Before you installed the "new" version of AutoPatcher, did you removed the older version first?

AutoPatcher was installed for the very first time. Normally I'm not so keen on installing complete 'packs', but now - after it became necessary to install WinXP again; had to much blue screens - I thought "well, lets give AutoPatcher a try". Therefore there was not anything to be removed first.

What OS do you have (pro/home retail or oem)?

Installed OS is WinXP Pro, version 2002 and naturally with Service Pack 2.

Every update is selectable in AutoPatcher, isn't it?

I would also like to see .NET Framework 2.0.

Can you include Media Center Update Rollup 2 and the extra fix for it as well?

I would also like to see .NET Framework 2.0. --> added

Can you include Media Center Update Rollup 2 and the extra fix for it as well? --> I could add the Media Center Update Rollup 2 and the extra fix, unfortunately I can't test this and therefore won't inluded it.

When do you get the error 'that you don't have enough rights"? Is that during the installation with AutoPatcher?

When do you get the error 'that you don't have enough rights"? Is that during the installation with AutoPatcher?

Nope. After running AutoPatcher found out, that MSN wasn't upgraded to v7.5. Did not bother to look for the reason why at that time. Downloading the dutch MSN-file seperately is quick and installing is easy to do, is it not?

So after the many many perfectly installed upgrades, I downloaded the MSN-file (Install_MSN_Messenger.EXE; the 75b306NL-version). But after just a few seconds of executing a pop-up appears telling me I do not have the proper rights for this kind of action and I should contact the administrator (FYI. The same message appeared after I tried the Dutch 311-build).

Did not give up so easely. Downloaded again the MSN-file, but this time the UK-version. This one was accepted immidiately. No problems what so ever. Nor with the 306, nor with the 311 UK build. Strange, n'est-ce pas?

So I de-installed MSN completely from mu system and had another shot with the 306 NL build. "Helaas pindakaas", again the know pop-up appeared again (not the proper rights).

[...have shorten your story.....]

The problem is possible the BOOTSTRAP.EXE it's included in the file Install_MSN_Messenger.EXE

What you can try is this:

Download the MSN Messenger here

After downloading, go to the folder where you saved the file, make a batchfile with the command as shown below:

INSTALL_MSN_MESSENGER.exe /C /T:%temp%\msn75

Run the batchfile (will be a second or three)

Then acces the folder that was created. It could be something like this one, depending on the username "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\msn75" you'll find there two files. Delete the BOOTSTRAP.EXE and start msnmsgs.msi by double click it with your mouse-pointer ;)

Be sure that the MSN messenger is not running, a lot of people have configured it to start at Windows startup or at the "sign-on" option. :yes:

:D :p :D DaFlapDrol, your 'solution worked!! Great :D :p :D

Had to make a minor adjustment for this result. Followed the link you suggested. The Dutch MSN started to download after telling I'm a registered user. But ... installing? Now way. Pop-up appeared with next (Dutch) error message: "De installatie van MSN Messenger is mislukt met foutcode: 1638. Ga naar website van MSN Messenger http:// mesenger.msn.com en download de laatste versie van MSN Messenger." :angry:

Tried something different. Googled and located at http://www.coolenaam.nl/msn7.php the "MSN Messenger 7.5 Officiele versie!" :happy:

Ran the batchfile, looked for the Temp-directory and deleted BOOTSTRAP.EXE. After selecting msnmsgs.msi I chose "Repair". E voila, got the dutch MSN 7.5 b311 version. :woot: :woot: Checked it once again by selecting i.e. several things under "Help". At first there were some script errors, but by ignoring them they stayed away later on. :cool: :cool:

So many thanks DaFlapDrol :D :rofl: :D

In the next days I will give the new November edition of AutoPatcher a try, that is when the Dutch version is available. I promise to get back and report (hopefully) the good news of 'no problems'. Will do that btw in the proper topic. Signing out. :laugh:

Glad that is solved your problem with the MSN installation issue. In the next release it will be solved!!

Can you change something for me? It's the comment on the topic at tweakers......just place my real-name a;)that topic. ;) and more important is that I'm not an employee of NEOWIN. Just take a look at the sign below this comment....it's all about AutoPatcher.

At this moment the november release of the Dutch version of the full and lite version are not released yet.

That's not too bad, because we have the october release, no? What a pity though this is nowhere to be found for downloading. Not on the links provided on this topic. Not on any torrent website.

Can anybody find it somewhere and post the link here?

    • I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.
    • No support for Windows Hello!
    • I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
