AutoPatcher XP February 2006

[josl]

I would appreciate some help and I do not know whether Autopatcher or Autostreamer is what I should be looking at. A couple of weeks ago - as a result of a corrupt Configsys file - I had to completely restore my OS. I tried at first to repair but although I have my original Windows XP Pro / ME2004 Product Recovery CD I of course didnt have SP1 or SP2 on CD. So I want to protect myself should this happen again and I want a backup CD of my current complete OS. My system unfortunately is German language - I have downloaded Autostreamer but am nervous about the next step. Should I use AP or AS, and how will either detect automatically my german language Service Packs. Do I then need to keep the files up-to-date as indicated in the threads in this forum.

Appreciate your help

@josl, I hope it's OK to post it on this forum, but to be protected from such disasters, I suggest the great freeware SavePart at www.partition-saving.com (it's like the commercial Ghost/DriveImage if you know...even better in my opinion: it can save an NTFS partition on itself(!!!) w/o the huge pagefile/hibernat.sys files).

@Nozavi, how come there's a full Feb06 on your site? what am I missing? (Beta??)

thanks again nozavi

two small things,

1) could you please remove the bit about missing files and switches from the description

2) and it should say "5.1" not "5.0" near the top of the desc ;)

thanks ;)

oh yeh, and whats this feb06 full beta release :shifty:

Java 6 runtime beta isn't complatible with AP is it? Gives me some kinda funky error when launching AP.

I have had no problems with all Autopatcher releases through and including Update for Windows XP, January 2006 release.

This is what happened after installing Autoatcher 5.1 Windows XP Update for February 2006.

(1) Installed with no problems.

(2) Never got an icon on my desktop.

(3) The Autopatcher never installed a program group.

(4) I ran Autopatcher from the ...\PROGRAM FILES\AUTOPATCHER directory.

(5) The AP 5.1 Window comes up and I get nothing displayed. The butons are blank, no text on them.

(6) I clicked on the left BLANK button and AP gave a Module Panic error on Sun Java 1.5_06 saying I am running Windows XP Professional (Locale 1033) + IE6. Parent or Prerequisite Item Missing.

I am running Windows XP with SP2 plus Autopatcher updates through January 2006. I have .NET 2.0 installed in case that's an issue.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Gary

It does exactly the same thing to me. I've never had a problem with AP before.

@Yochanan, update releases are meant to be installed on top of previous releases, did you do that?

[Guest]

when come a german version ?

[botkiller]

just checking... no "windows authenticity (KB892130)" tool in this updater pack? I hate that f'ing thing.

thanks guys...

How about an option for us to slipstream Jan and Feb updates into Dec one :). I think it would be great. Save bandwidth and still have a big one shot for updating a new system.

Cheers,

@botkiller, i dont know what kb892130 is, the kb article page is unavailable, but if its not in the list in the first page its not included!

@azmantek, all you need to do is install them on top of the dec05 release, then you have the equivelant of a feb06 full/lite release. if you want, you can then using the packing tools found in the translation pack thread and use NSIS to create your own packed feb06 full/lite installer.

No I didn't, but I didn't think I did with the January Update, either. I guess that would explain it, thanks.

[smartcap]

Thnx for the update my friend!

Another mirror is up. Terafiles

Most of the versions are up. The remainder will be added over the next day or so.

Hi, ...

I still waiting a French version, ...

Thanks in advance, ...

[jaypa]

if i could get a hold of the french updates I would be willing to with Autopatchers permission of course, do the french updates...but I am unable to get a hold of the updates

[uffbros]

I need to clarify what the differences are between the update and the update lite? Is the update like all the updates since the Dec Full and the lite just the Feb update alone? Thanks for clarifying the differences.

Blaze, since there's a "beta full" (whatever that means) version, want to to whack itup on the torrent tracker?

this month a change was made to a module not included in lite releases. instead of people installing the one update release over a lite release and ending up with a partial module being installed (which could pose problems), gandolas made a seperate update release for updating lite releases, which doesnt include the updates to that particular module.

this will probably change in upcoming releases, and instead, where such files are included, the installer will give the user the option of updating a full autopatcher installation, or a lite which will skip certain files.

its actually a full release based on ap6 beta.

its up to you. im sure gandolas wouldnt have put it in with everything else if he didnt feel it was ok for the public to use, so i dont think more public exposure through torrents will hurt, and it is quite large so may help the other mirrors.

Oh, ok... cool.

I'll do that ASAP then :)

No, I don't think so.
