Looking forward to actually getting a propper, full release!

Until then, thanks anyway.

Same here. I put off formatting in the hope of a full March release, but alas I think I will format anyways and use my full November release then head for Windows Update. :cool:

@Slyder, i really dont see why you dont feel you can use the update releases.

@everyone, it actually really annoys me that i put so much effort into update releases and so many people dont use them. also, if you read the second post, i said "i am 100% sure there will be a new full & lite release next month" !!

I've followed your instructions to the point and installation was flawless. It's the first time I've used AutoPatcher and I'm very impressed! I like especially that AutoPatcher leaves no traces in the registry when uninstalled unlike 99% of all other Win apps...

(Y) :yes:

So Blaze if got it right, I just extract the contents of the December full, then without removing files from AP folder , extract the contents of feb update, and then run march update and choose "update a full release" option.

And then I have "march full", which I can then pack in e.g. Winrar sfx or so, and use to update comps as a "standalone"?

@alpha_omega, well actually some modules do leave things in hklm\software\autopatcher and hkcu\software\autopatcher which are used for detection when theres nothing else already present to use. if your never ever going to use ap again then you can delete those two keys, but else leave them for future module detection. apart from that, ap leaves nothing behind in the registry.

@Angelico_Payne, yep, thats right ;) infact you can use the packing stuff in the translation pack thread to make your own march nsis installer rather than a winrar sfx if you like!

Success, March full is ready. :)

Thank you Blaze for help and patience. This is much harder than it looks at first glance. I think I appreciate your guys work a lot more now :).

Do you mean AutoPatcher_5.1.0.34_Stand-Alone?

Maybe I'll dare to start it from DVD... ;)

P.S.

I can't make a Webserver to host this file cause I'm having problems configuring WLAN. :(

Anyone knows a good WLAN PCI card? (the 2 gigabyte cards I have don't see eachother)

@Angelico_Payne, actually the latest standalone is v5.1.0.35 download available here (first sentence)

to create a mar06 full/lite release for yourself

1) get the latest version of nsis installed (v2.15)

2) get ap_packing.zip and ap_packing.rtf from the AutoPatcher Translation Packs thread.

3) extract the dec05 full/lite release, extract jan06 update release on top (except for xp as included in feb06), extract feb06 update release on top, extract mar06 update release on top.

4) extract contents of ap_packing.zip beside autopatcher.exe

5) follow ap_packing.rtf for instructions. (basically changing a few small things in the install script, and then running the script to create the release).

if your thinking of using one or more update releases with the standalone, acknowledge that your going to have trouble - you may very well experience module panic errors, modules that dont fully work, and you wont have the advantage of many bugfixes.

if your thinking in addition to that, of packing it up with nsis, a) please do not redistribute it, and b) you can follow the instructions above ignoring #3.

not really sure what people are complaining about. I don't mind just hte update releases. I have a laptop hard drive enclosure that I have autopatcher installed on. Every release I just install the update into that directory so thats always a full version including everything from Dec - March

May I join the 'real' Portuguese (read, the European one) bandwagon as well? ;)

And let me express as of now my deepest appreciatiopn for the effort you're doing here. :) It helped me a lot so far, as for instance to get back my ol' 2K OS search function. I simply hated the default XP one. :p

I know that can't do much to help onto the Pt version of (March's) monthly updates, but you can count me in for translations and stuff you might eventually need... although I doubt that you'll ever need one. ;)

Good luck on it anyway.

    • I misread the title and thought Teams itself would be redesigned. Imagine having this one as a native WinUI app.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame by Sayan Sen Last month Neowin reported on a major issue on Dell systems wherein a bug in its official support tool was leading to endless blue screen of death (BSOD) and restarts. Following our report, Dell officially acknowledged its SupportAssist-related crash issue, confirming that the culprit is not Microsoft's operating system but rather a faulty version of its own remediation software. In a newly published support advisory, Dell stated that version 5.5.16.0 of Dell SupportAssist Remediation and Alienware SupportAssist Remediation can trigger blue screen errors and unexpected system restarts. The company notes that the problematic component operates independently of the main SupportAssist application, meaning users should not remove the primary SupportAssist software when troubleshooting the issue. According to Dell, the crashes are linked specifically to the SupportAssist Remediation service, which is bundled with SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools, and as such it has since released an updated version, 5.5.16.1, which is said to resolve the problem. Affected users are advised to first verify whether version 5.5.16.0 is installed by checking the Installed Apps section in Windows Settings. If so, Dell recommends updating SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools through either SupportAssist's "Update Software" feature or Dell Command Update. Dell also advises users to back up important data before performing the update and to ensure systems remain connected to power throughout the installation process. If you are still having issues though make sure to report to the Dell support forum. As it turns out though Dell is not the only PC maker currently dealing with update-related headaches as HP is also facing a separate but probably equally frustrating issue involving recent Windows Secure Boot updates that were released with recent Windows 11 Patch Tuesdays. Similar to Dell, HP also put up its own support article where it explains the issue. The company says that affected devices could hit a brick wall when booting as they run into a BitLocker recovery loop after the April 2026 updates. The problem appears to affect systems wherein the new UEFI Secure Boot CA 2023 certificates fail to apply properly. As such affected users will find themselves entering their recovery key over and over again despite the system otherwise functioning normally. HP says such PCs should be updated to the latest available BIOS version and configured with the necessary Secure Boot certificates before installing Microsoft's Windows 11 Patch Tuesday updates. Systems that are already experiencing the problem may require BIOS configuration changes to restore normal boot behavior. Admins can find information regarding that in the support article here on HP's official website.
    • Getting further away from the artistic study of mental disease that was the first game... (which never needed any sequels to begin with) But I get it, a company has to make money. And the second was at least visually impressive, if not in any other way.
    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
