AutoPatcher XP August 2006

[P H A N T O M]

Hey Everyone

Just wanted to drop in and say a HUGE thankyou to the AutoPatcher Team - you guys are just the BEST!

I downloaded the latest (full) version of AutoPatcher and ran it on my system! A huge file, but totally worth the download!. AutoPatcher Updated and patched everything beautifully and without any problems whatsoever.

Interestingly, I actually ran it a second time just for curiosity reasons - and more updates came up in the AutoPacther List (that I didn't see first time round) that I was able to add/update to my XP system. I assume that certain updates needed to be installed first by AutoPatcher, before secondary ones would list and be available/show-up in AutoPatcher to 'check'(select) and add in. Again, the extra updates installed like a breeze and no problems whatsoever.

After reading this thread, I am puzzled by the issues that some members have been having with the updates. I am a very high end user of PC and internet and use alot of programs. But I am not a nerd and no IT Tech! In saying this........

.....If this helps any other members at all :-

A few things I do on a regular basis that may have helped me with such a trouble free install/update - no conflicts.

------I clean the registry regularly using a registry cleaning tool

------I clean off dead/old files left in the windows system using a file cleaner - (semi regularly)

------I avoid all adware/greyware/spyware/malware/foistware related programs totally. No matter how cool or desperate I may want a program. If it has third party software attached, then I delete the program altogether

------When doing a major update I Start 'Windows Task Manager' and close/shutdown all NON-essential NON-Critical services. The update then screams along really well (i.e. updates and installes at a phenomenal rate)and I never EVER have a problem with conflicts.

I find that with an un-cluttered registry, no old & possibly conflicting windows files in Windows Folders, virtually no third party HOOKS in my processes, and very few programs and processes running when I update - that I always have a trouble free install

I hope this info may help some other members.

Cheers everyone and thanks again to the TEAM

My mirror no longer works for the time being. My site was maliciously being spammed forcing me to shut it down while accruing a $134 charge on my account. I hope to have this issue resolved and being mirroring the files again soon.

I have just tried the auto patcher LITE Aug 2006 and I have found that the file "Security Update for .Net Framework 1.1 SP1 (KB886903)" returns an error mesage of "File corrupted". I think that the problem is with the LITE version of Autopatcher.

You might have to download the Installer cleanup program from Microsoft. Apparently something on the autocad program install corrupted and/or didnt get cleaned up correctly. This will fix it; but, you will probably have to reinstall the CAD program again.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/

warning.... after install, only select the AutoCad 2007 program for cleanup. Basically this is an advance add/remove function and will totally remove the program and the corrupt installer files.

Yeah, had the same issue with the installer for Autocad Inventor. Somthing went screwy with the .NET install as well the Macromedia player installation (Autocad apparently uses Macromedia to display the 3d renderings and it is VERY touchy about player versions). I had to uninstall Macromedia and repair the .NET installations before the installer worked as it was supposed to. I know this is no definate answer, but I hope it helps.

Running XP SP2, WMP 10 (10.00.00.4036), Windows Media encoder 9 (9.00.00.2980)

I had the same with the three updates, 910998, 917821, 921134. They did not install. AP appears to suppress any error messages.

So I went to the respective KB articles and downloaded the files from there:

windowsmedia10-kb910998-x86-intl.exe

windowsmedia10-kb917821-x86-intl.exe

windowsmedia10-kb921134-x86-intl.exe

All three refused to install.

The first two gave the message

...

Alright, to everyone having trouble with the Windows Media Updates as above ... there is a registry key preventing installation on what I assume is most up to date machines. The key in question is :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center

If you rename the key, run the updates, then rename it back they will install without problems.

Secondly, KB912817: Windows XP COM+ Hotfix Rollup Package 13 (v2) by my testing refuses to install on Dual Core AMD machines (maybe Intel also) even if you disable one core with the boot.ini, use safe mode, disable DEP or set it's affinity. I believe Microsoft will have to bug fix this as it just crashes when run either by AutoPatcher or when downloaded separately.

PS. Should someone deem this information good enough to include in the first post, please do so as I believe it will alleviate at least a few repeated posts :)

Whats the difference beetween AutoPatcher vs using Qhain.exe?

[parrini]

Hi,

I have no idea how to start but I am considering to take the PT-BR version of autopatcher from where our friend gandolas have left. What are the initial steps I should follow? Can anyone explain me the basics of the process?

Thanks =)

Whats the difference beetween AutoPatcher vs using Qhain.exe?

ive never used QChain.exe before but from what i gather from the description i imagine autopatcher is much simpler. with this tool you need to know before hand which updates you want to install, you need to go and download them all individually, you need to use the command line which 99% of people are going to be afraid of, and then you may need to type in all the file names and commands which is a pain.

with autopatcher on the other hand, you get our collection of updates, you download them all in one go, you dont have to use the command line, and you dont need to do any work like typing in file names, you just point and click to choose your selection.

I have some problems with my computer. On another forum they said it could be caused by the WMI security leak.

Now I wanted to know if anyone could tell me if the security patch for WMI is part of autopatcher aug 2006?

Thanks,

Mercy

Thank you for your fix for installing 910998, 917821, 921134. It worked flawlessly.

How did you work out the fix? just curious..

[+theblazingangel MVC]

@01mercy, could you tell me which fix it is?

@NickSaribe, if its not in the first post then it doesnt exist, sorry

2) Have the issues that several were reporting been resolved, or were the issues only experienced by a small percentage of those using this update?

Just reformat and you'll have no trouble AFAIK. :D

Interestingly, I actually ran it a second time just for curiosity reasons - and more updates came up in the AutoPacther List (that I didn't see first time round) that I was able to add/update to my XP system. I assume that certain updates needed to be installed first by AutoPatcher, before secondary ones would list and be available/show-up in AutoPatcher to 'check'(select) and add in. Again, the extra updates installed like a breeze and no problems whatsoever.

I never had this problem: maybe it's a new one - I haven't reformatted since June (i. e. April Full). :unsure:

Perhaps the AutoPatcher setup is corrupted (?) - check the MD5 hash. :blink:

Hmm, if I reinstall XP SP2 English version and if I use AutoPatcher August 2006 Full to update my desktop, the following weeks, the following months :

> I can use Windows Update?

> or I have to use only AutoPatcher?

> or I can use both ? One month AutoPatcher Update, the next months : Windows Update ?

Yes, the problem is you downloaded the English release. There is no Brazillian release this month.
