AutoPatcher XP December 2005


Recommended Posts

When running the Autopatcher for December (Dutch version) I receive the following show-stopper:

module panic on productenoverzicht van derden!

You are running Windows XP Professional SP2 (locale 1043) + IE6.

This release is not suitable for your system.

35602: Key is not unique in collection.

Does anyone know what is the problem?

Idea? Hmmmm.....yeah. Did you uninstall the previous version? That's one of the rules when you are installing a new release from AutoPatcher, then you have uininstall the pervious version. AutoPatcher doesn't do that for you.

Sorry for the wait

I installed AP full (english) onto English language test computers that had no previous versions of AP installed. The errors occured on both PCs

However, Ive since used AP on about 5 customer computers with no problems.

So it seems to work fine on new installs (which is where I need it most)

And those command line switches are great guys! thanks!

@echo off

"c:\Program Files\AutoPatcher\AutoPatcher.exe" /noeula /unattend:t1 /noreboot /defaults:defaults.txt

Many thanks for the work you do.

I have downloaded the December XP SP2 AutoPatcher from this thread - http://torrent.autopatcher5.mirror.ineedhosting.net/mystats.php - , this link - http://torrent.autopatcher5.mirror.ineedhosting.net/mystats.php - and this torrent - http://torrent.autopatcher5.mirror.ineedhosting.net/torrents/AutoPatcher_2000_Dec05_ENU_Full.exe.torrent - twice now.

The first time I downloaded and ran AutoPatcher without taking much notice of it. AFTER I had selected and executed the updates I wanted I noticed/discovered that I had installed the Win2K version of AutoPatcher. I assumed that I had mistakenly downloaded the wrong version of AutoPatcher, so I carefully downloaded the WinXP version above.

On running the newly downloaded version the default installation directory is "AutoPatcher 2K".

I have two questions:

1. Is this, in fact, the correct version of AutoPatcher for my WinXP system?

2. If I have run and installed the Win2K version of AutoPatcher on my WinXP system, will it have caused any damage?

With thanks in advance for your help.

Hello,

1. Is this, in fact, the correct version of AutoPatcher for my WinXP system?

No! You need the Windows XP Version of AP!

Use http://torrent.autopatcher5.mirror.ineedho...ull.exe.torrent instead.

2. If I have run and installed the Win2K version of AutoPatcher on my WinXP system, will it have caused any damage?

Normally no! But i'm not sure about it. Ap normally detects your windows version and disallow the installation if the win version is wrong!

Once again.

1. You downloaded the win 2k version over bt

2. You ran it on a windowx xp system

??? 3. ap starts and displays you the update choice screen ???

Thanks for that, Tarnatos.

1. Yes.

2. Yes.

3. Yes followed by a system restart to complete installation of my selected updates.

dont worry about it messing up your system, autopatcher only makes available stuff that applies to the system its run on!

Thank you for the re-assurance, TBA.

That was so cool, the post is allready paying off... :punk:

What do you think about merging FAQ & Common Problems&Solutions in one FAQ post :huh:

In regards to this (module panic error):

2) 35602: Key is not unique in collection

You've probably installed the release over an older version, and modules are conflicting.

Delete the folder your installing to, and reinstall the latest version.

Only 'update' releases should be installed on a previous release.

Ok, I have not installed a previous release and this error occured using the Dec Full package.

BUT, I wonder, How many of us have made custom ISO's using nLite or whatever containing hotfixes.

What I am wondering is, can using ISO's created with nLite containing hotfixes, cause problems with Autopatcher XP?

I also found another oddity, I installed the Full Package (1st time) - and got the panic error, so I uninstalled it. I then installed it again because I wanted to record my exact error message, but for some freaky reason, it worked fine. (Very odd installing the same package the second time worked).

Hi There

Wow and I thought I was the only one...

I tracked the problem down, by installing the security releases from AP_Dec. in blocks of three.

And found the release KB890859 (security update MS05-018) to be causing the issue. Microsoft has issued a

hot fix for this on Dec 27, which unfortunately is only available through their paid support service, and is not issued to the general public. I wish they or someone would because I dislike dealing with MS support.

Quote fro MS

"CAUSE

The Stop error occurs when the computer accesses a NULL DeviceObject object in a volume parameter block. This volume parameter block access is caused by a race condition. This race condition occurs when the computer mounts volumes on removable media devices such as CD or DVD drives.

This Stop error is more likely to occur in the following types of computers:? On a computer that is stressed

? On a computer that uses multiple processors or hyper-threading

? On a computer that mounts volumes frequently on removable media devices"

My scenario exactly

If you want to read for yourself...

Other than the networking problems others have experienced, AP has been good to me.

Thanks Guys

Wow thax man, I will rwmove the bloody sec update :yes: :)

Hey

When I remove even one tweak from security tweaks, I get prerequisite/parent error when loading AP, so I either have to remove them the all or none. ????!!!!

Is it possible than no one from the development team doesn't know the solution!!!???

    • I think this will appeal to a lot of enthusiasts. If the thermals are similar to those of a single system in a compact case, many people running multiple systems may choose to combine them into one machine, provided the case footprint remains reasonable.
    • No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.
    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
