OK, created an .ini file and using : "C:\Program Files\AutoPatcher\AutoPatcher.exe" /unattend:t2 /skipdetection /noeula /english  /defaults:C:\Program Files\AutoPatcher\neomachine.ini

When I install I get errors :

NET Framework CD1 is missing

Windows cannot open powermwnu.lnk

Why? Everything else works like a charm

P.S. How do I set automatic reboot switch to 5 sec e.g.

Have you tried to install it without the /skipdetection ? I have the idea that this will be the solution for the error "Net Framework CD1 is missing".

About the powermenu.lnk?? When do you get that message, is that while you are installing AutoPatcher from the commandline?

every time I use autopacther, and install WMP10 the icons from WMP9 stay after the restart. any fixes for this?

@Gerardo, I think that you have to ask that question directly at the developers of Windows Mediaplayer 10. On the other hand, it's not a complete new application! ;)

You need to run WMP10 at least once to get the icons to change

@the_guy, the icons won't change if you run WMP10. When you take a look at the user posted image and comapare that with yours. You can see that there's no difference between them!

Seek and you shall find. :devil: :devil: :devil:

The solution to the Administrator logon dilema is as follows...

Regardless of using the welcome screen or not, or however many user ids that you may have on the system,

if you decide to bypass the logon screen it means that you want to default! the logon user to be the same everytime.

And you want that user to autolog when logging on.

In order to do this, select "run" from the start button and enter the command "control userpasswords2" and press OK.

A user accounts window will open, uncheck the top box marked with 'users must enter a user name and password to use this computer' and press APPLY.

Another window will open to allow you selecting the default user and its password to autolog at boot-up. Provide the user name and password and click OK.

Once done, the system will boot up always with the specified user and password as entered.

:D :D :D

That's the way! Play with your OS and learn more and more....... :D

Make sure you are installing the XP update not the 2000 update

Got a problem with Autopater it istalls fine but when I go to load it I get a Modual Panic

"Modual Panic on update for Windows XP (KB887742)! you are running Windows XP Professional SP2 (locale 1033) +IE6

"This release is not suitable for your system."

"35602: Key is not unique in collection"

Can anyone tell me why this wont load

I run Windows XP SP2

This has nothing to do with the 200 update. It means (for us) that an earlier version of AutoPatcher was installed and not removed before the installation of a newer release.

OK made my first unattended install, It works like a charm, an even bigger time saver...

Tanx fo all the help :)

Yeah those error were probably due to several versions of AP being installed previously on the comp, cause it works without a prob on new machines with fresh win :D

Share it........make it public and tell us what and how you used the unattended install.

Did not see any hotfixes installed in the Add/Remove Panel nor did ASPI install. Yet everything else seemed to install okay. Was using English Nov 2005 Full.

I am using Windows XP with Service Pack 2 integrated.

Version is corporate, untouched, straight from Microsoft. The only modification is a patched uxtheme.dl_, so

non-standard themes can be used.

You can view the hotfixes in the Add/Remove panel wen you choose to Show the updates. You can select that option in Add/Remove panel.

The ASPI is installed by AutoPatcher and doesn't appear in the Add/Remove panel. When you check AutoPatcher you'll see that the items will be colored blue, means that the Module is installed.

Well, I use Winrar to create .sfx file with the the following switch:

{

Automatic installation for neomachines

}

----

1.First I install windows (offcourse :))

2.Then apply fast shutdown&menu speed 0 tweak

3.Disable unneeded services

4.Install computer drivers

5.Run AP

6.Install other applications (such as Winrar, winamp, acdsee, Dvd region free, k-lite mega codec pack, etc...)

7.and voila, one freshly baked computer, good to go :laugh:

----

The only thing bugging me so far, is how to set restarttime of AP when finished applying patches to 1 sec instead of 60 which is default?

--------------------

Tommorow, I'm creating a new selfextracting file, using Tharma Installer, which is better then .sfx internal Winrar capability, giving me more options and space for creativity.

Also,I will exclude AP patches not needed for install, resulting in reduced filesize,and quicker cd-disk copy

-----

Regarding, making it public, it will be made public soon(the file), but when I setup fixed IP web server, at which point I will be hosting APs published here.

--------------

If you have any comments,critics,advices, or questions, I would be delighted to hear them.

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
    • How do you connect 5.1 Speakers to this thing?
    • I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
