icon11.gif BitTorrent is a P2P system that makes transfering large files (or groups of files) amongst a large group of people easy, fast and efficient. The BitTorrent network is impressive mostly for the speed and reliability with which you get files that have been recently released. As long as a .torrent file has enough people sharing then you can be assured that it will start quickly and maintain a good download speed. Always remember to leave your BitTorrent client open to help distribute the files!

icon13.gif Read the FAQ before installing AutoPatcher

icon13.gif IE6SP1 is a major update, if you dont have it installed prior to using autopatcher, make sure its selected for installation the first time you do, otherwise there can be serious consequences. Also note that some updates will only be available to install after IE6SP1 is installed, so youll need to run AP at least twice.

PLEASE READ:

there is an bug in the 2k & 2k3 english releases that i forgot to fix before i uploaded them.

please extract the contents of the attached file to c:\program files\autopatcher or wherever you installed autopatcher to.

fyi the bug is a problem with the installation instructions for KB922481 (a security update for the .Net 2.0 framework) that causes its installation to fail. KB922481 was added in the july 2006 release and the bug was spotted afterwards, its fixed it in the xp august release but i forgot about doing it in the 2k & 2k3 releases. this fix will correct the issue. this fix will be present in the september releases.

aug06_2k_2k3_922481_fix.zip

Note with winzip 9 (not sure on other versions) use the 'extract' button, dragging and dropping will loose the folder structure and render the fix useless because theyll be in the wrong folder, the aim is to over write the copies in c:\program files\autopatcher\modules\components\dotnet\

There might be a problem here with the installer for .net v2 security patch KB917283. The folder name is different from the file name. It keeps on gving me the Windows Installer 3 silent code options. XP version is OK, but 2K has the same effect on a XP system. There are no specialist commands to silent See attachment

You MUST use Blaze's fix! Take it from first post in this topic... For Windows XP users are not any problem.

I have all three versions of august 2006, I have copied the AP XP files for dotnet v2 files into the 2K & 2k3 version and this has fixed the problem :D

Blaze,

When I extracted the fix under the AutoPatcher 2K folder (Programs Files>AutoPatcher 2K) it adds a Components folder under the AutoPatcher root, but there is also the same folder under Modules. When I looked at the AutoPatcher XP the Components folder is under Modules only. Is that correct for 2K as well for AutoPatcher 2K3?

Thanks

You can delete the Components folder under the AutoPatcher root, it contain an empty folder named dotnet.

You need ONLY c:\program files\autopatcher\modules\components\dotnet\ folder.

@EZRecovery, when i made the zip file i initially added the components folder to it instead of the modules folder, i then deleted the contents and added the modules folder. i guess winzip retained the original folder too and recreated it. you can delete it if you like its not doing anything. ill add removal instructions to get rid of it in the next releases.

I noticed that the folder Components > dotnet was empty.

I wanted to make sure it was safe to delete. :p

A minor typo in AP2K.

In Registry Tweaks, Speed, Disable Timestamps, the description says: "Disable file/folder access timestamps, SPEED_ENUing up NTFS file system performance."

SPEED_ENUing?

BTW, is there any real reason that AP5.1 in AP2k has the maximise button disabled? I get around it by using Cmdow to move and resize the window, but maximise would be easier.

IIRC it's because the button can only be toggled at design time and it has to be disabled for some reason I can't remember

KB921398 in XP Autopatcher aug-06 enu full.

What is it?

Have had apr-06 full AP, uninstalled it, installed aug-06.

Machine (P4 Prescott 2,8G-1G RAM) hangs at KB921398 w CPU-usage 100% when running Autopatcher!

Something seriously wrong with the machine?

Anybody got a clue?

Thanks in advance,

Trying to extracte the "replacement" file. I get "Error in zip structure" and the file size is not 1.83 KB.

like this user, I too cannot download the replacement file.

it is 1.26KB after download, and WINZIp reports a bad zip file. (*sigh*) :no:

I have tried downloading it from three different pc's...

is there another link to pull it from? :pinch:

    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI by David Uzondu The Ladybird Browser Project has announced it will no longer accept public pull requests and will limit changes to those made by its maintainers as it works towards its first alpha release. According to Ladybird's creator Andreas Kling, this is "not a change we make lightly," but the rapid shift in AI capabilities forced their hand. Previously, a massive PR implied that the person behind it put a lot of care into the code and is ready to "answer for the consequences." Now with AI, anyone can generate a PR without even understanding the bug fix or feature they want merged. The blog post goes on to say that the team is closing all open public pull requests immediately, and that maintainers will not treat external forks as a review queue for upstream Ladybird. Instead, the team wants outside contributors to focus on reporting bugs and running tests. Kling started Ladybird back in 2019 as LibHTML, a simple HTML viewer for his hobby operating system, SerenityOS, but by September 2022, it had turned into a full-fledged browser project. What sets Ladybird apart from the likes of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox is its totally independent engine, which does not rely on pre-existing codebases. The project maintains a strict policy against default search engine deals or user data monetization, keeping development funded entirely by donations and sponsorships. Generative AI is forcing open source project maintainers to rethink how they handle public code contributions (and the whole open-source thing in general). One month ago, a leak about the National Health Service (NHS) suggested the organization was planning to take all of its public repositories private ahead of a May 11 deadline, thanks to Mythos (an AI model that Anthropic believes is too dangerous to be released to the public) and its ability to find and write exploits for zero-day vulnerabilities. Thankfully, the Government Digital Service (GDS) issued a counter-report titled "AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector" that stopped the shutdown by pointing out that hiding code does not improve security.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
