AutoPatcher XP October 2006


Recommended Posts

HELP! PLEASE!

I cannot for the life of me get Autopatcher to work. I have downloaded the XP October 2006 patcher program but am getting the 'Run time error 429 - activeX component can't create object!' message when I try to run the program. I've followed all the advice and instructions in the FAQ help but it is not working!

This is what I've tried and recommends on the AutoPatcher site:

Install both the setup files in AutoPatchers \win9xnt folder

If that doesnt work, go to start > run, type REGSVR32 SCRRUN.DLL and press enter

If that doesnt work, copy files from C:\Program Files\AutoPatcher\bin to C:\Windows\System32

None of these things work.

I can't find a 'win9xnt' folder

Running this REGSVR32 SCRRUN.DLL says 'succeeded' but doesn't fix my problem.

I don't know what files to copy to put into C:\Windows\System32. It says copy from C:\Program Files\AutoPatcher\bin but I can't find a 'bin' directory.

All I have is an AutoPatcher folder in Program Files which contains a folder called 'modules' an autorun file, a setup application icon and an uninstall application icon.

I'm going out of my mind - can anyone help.

If you can please speak slowly and clearly because I am not a computer wizz like you guys.

Cheers

You need to download a full version of AutoPatcher as well as the update versions.

The win9xnt and bin folders are only included with the full versions.

what's wrong?

i am using windows xp sp2 (chinese)

There is no Chinese version of AutoPatcher at the moment.

but it says "Although it was made with Windows XP SP2 English in mind, it will load on any (English) Windows version, showing only the items which match the running environment."

which one is right?

It was made with Windows XP SP2 English in mind, but will load on any English Windows (2000/XP/2003)... Each module can describe its own dependencies. If a patch is only applicable to Windows XP, it wont show up in 2000 or 2003. Some modules are common though. We're just saying that you'd be better off downloading a release specific for your version/language, since otherwise, most of the patches are version/language specific, thus very few, if any, will show up... which ultimately means you're wasting your 200-250mb of your bandwidth for just a couple of patches....

HELP! PLEASE!

I cannot for the life of me get Autopatcher to work. I have downloaded the XP October 2006 patcher program

did you remember to install the august full release, then the september update, before installing the october update?

you need to install

1) AutoPatcher_XP_Aug06_ENU_Full

then 2) AutoPatcher_XP_Sep06_ENU_Update

then 3) AutoPatcher_XP_Oct06_ENU_Update

if you read through the message board you'll see this same question again and again.

Does it mean that i can't use autopatcher on the Chinese windows xp sp2?

There is currently no Chinese version of autopatcher, as the above mentioned

You can, but it will be of very little (if any) use... :(

P. S. Net Framework 3.0 is 50.33 MB in size. Maybe a Full would be better than Update. BTW, these are the times when you'll jump with joy for having a DSL. :)

But the loading module process stuck at the windows update v6 (as shown on the attached file above)

What can i do?

I've tried the August Full AutoPatcher release and October Full AutoPatcher release.

Both stuck at the same place...

Guys thanks for the great work you guys do here!! It's really appreciated. :blush:

That being said, there have been a host of final apps being released. IE7, .Net 3.0, WMP11.

I wonder if there will be a December Full release will all of these updates included. At least we'll have the choice of whether we want IE7 or WMP11 installed. :whistle:

Anyone, would be a nice idea for a Full December release to include all of those, and whatever new patches are released.

Keep up the good work guys... :laugh:

:L:

Don't forget Windows Defender... :wacko:

First of all, thanks for AutoPatcher. I'm on Dialup, but I still reserve the time and bandwidth to download the AutoPatcher updates as they come out. I consider it one of the top things to keep updated on a system. AP, Firefox, KLMCP (codec pack), things like that.

Can someone check the Oct 06 English update on INeedHosting.net? My computer spent all last night downloading it, and it comes up with a CRC error, says the file is corrupt. I'm surprised nobody else has brought this up yet - is everyone else using another mirror? Can I get a quick confirmation that INeedHosting's mirror, or another Torrent mirror, has a working copy or the English Oct 06 WinXP update?

Regarding IE7 - I'm not about to tell you guys how to run AutoPatcher, but I think it should be included. I'm a loyal Firefox user myself, but I've always felt that a system is only as strong as its weakest link, a sentiment Vista echoes with its rating system. So though I don't use IE7, it seems to me that it should be an important update.

Someone said, a few pages back, that AutoPatcher contains no malware, and if it did they would not support it. That's only partially true. While optional, WGAN has been classified as a form of malware. Nothing against AP for including it - I always leave it off - but if WGAN = Malware then "AP includes malware"=true. ;)

And WMP11 is no longer beta. If AP can have the latest builds of the MSN messaging client and WMP10, surely it can have WMP11, right? I don't even use IM tools, so I consider WMP11 closer to "essential" than MSN by leaps and bounds.

Lastly, Microsoft keep updating DirectX. They don't change the version number, just the date. The latest is "DirectX 9.0c (Oct 06)" and I think the one before that was... I don't know, but the last one I have archived is Dec 05. Is AutoPatcher keeping DirectX up to date as well?

I run the torrent tracker and the files I created the torrent from matches the MD5 hash in the first post...and since bit torrent checks to make sure that the correct file was downloaded, I can only assume it's a problem with your system :s

Was WMP10 majorly a security update? :devil:

Tabbed browsing = the only new thing in WIE? :angry:

That, assuming that I use WMP (which I don't). :p

And no, but it's the most talked and notorious one (which means that it could've been added a looong time ago). You know what I intented... since I even mentioned the ol' Netscape. As I've said, only tested IE7 briefly in it's Beta 2 stages and never got quite the hang of it (as in, hadn't liked it as well).

WGAN is no more a part of AP, since it's been withdrawn from WU/MU...

DX usually comes out every two months. Blaze said it's too big for AP (~30 MB).

That, assuming that I use WMP (which I don't). :p

I mentioned WMP10 because it's not all about security - there are many of us using WIE7 which is a looot better than MIE6. Sometimes I ask myself why on earth I hadn't been using Opera or Firefox instead of MIE6... (Opening eyes is another good thing in WIE7, BTW.)

Yes, but even the FF users say WIE7 should be included. Don't be against it for not being "majorly a security update".

Please see FAQ number 6.

6) When i double click the AutoPatcher shortcut nothing happens

Go to: C:\Program Files\AutoPatcher\tools, run 'AutoPatcher Module Editor.exe' and close it - next run autopatcher.

If that doesn't help, copy comdlg32.ocx from the AutoPatcher \bin folder to c:\windows\system32 (overwrite existing file if there is one).

    • Last week I was investigating an issue with contacts and tried using the new Outlook. In the real (Classic) Outlook, you can easily go to any Outlook folder and present it in a Table View, then customize the columns to show/sort any field, which was exactly what I needed. But of course, the new Outlook doesn't have this feature at all. I gave up. Oh, and can we possibly stop claiming the new Outlook has PST support? What it really has is the ability to use the real Outlook in the background to pretend to have PST support. There is no PST support without the real Outlook installed.
    • Honestly just before Panos left it started to feel like MS just wasnt interested in them so they were being less innovative with them, and then when he DID leave for Amazon its kind of clear the direction is gone. It felt like Panos had both goals and drive, and a vision, but it felt like no matter what his title/department was the Surface devices never had the full interest of the rest of management and he was just pushing a bolder up a hill that MS was adding dirt to as he went.
    • A roguelike and a 4X strategy game are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final leg of the Epic Games Store's mystery giveaways promotion just landed, and it brought along two more games to keep. Last week's Lonestar and Calico giveaways have now been replaced with copies of Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest to claim for PC gamers. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. Diving into the games, Songs of Conquest is developed by Lavapotion. This is a turn-based 4X strategy experience that has players making tough decisions and participating in tactical combat while also managing their kingdom. "Songs of Conquest is a turn-based strategy game inspired by 90s classics. Lead powerful magicians called Wielders and venture to lands unknown," explains the developer. "Wage battles against armies that dare oppose you, hunt for powerful artifacts and expand your territory. The world is ripe for the taking – seize it." Meanwhile, Rogue Waters comes from developer Ice Code Games. This rogue-lite experience has you taking the role of Captain Cutter as he commands his ship and crew through procedurally generated encounters. You'll be recruiting and training crew, use sea creatures, and battle with other ships and pirates. "Set sail as Captain Cutter, a pirate caught in a deadly struggle for power and vengeance," adds the developer. "Navigate dangerous waters, unleash mythical sea creatures, and outwit enemies as you chase legendary treasure and confront dark secrets." The newly available Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day, which is slated to be Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.
