AutoPatcher XP November 2006

[supermouse]

xyz123, well said. my version here was called of "final" by ms, but is 7.0.530.11. about wmp11, it's 11.0.521.5145. there's a new one of this ones already?

and, by the way: Microsoft SyncToy 1.4 is on my build. KB925876 isn't yet because it still doesn't fit for pt-br (it deny install)

[Angelico_Payne]

Muchas gracias AP team :D

Err a question..., this WM 11 validation, what does it require, since some of the computers i do, dont have net access, will it do without validation , or i have to do workaround for those comps?... i mean i discourage ppl to use wm, and to use wm classic that comes with klite, but they still do :(, esspecially now when new ver is out there.

Just wanted to mention that the page: http://torrent.autopatcher5.mirror.ineedho...net/mystats.php

Looks weird in Opera because of Google banners, otherwise a perfect release!

[supermouse]

Angelico_Payne, there's no need for internet access. seems that wmp11 and ie7 just do an check for blacklisted serials. anyway, wm classic is far more thin...

[Angelico_Payne]

Oh, cool thanks mouse :)

...Thin as good, or this as bad :D ?

P.S.

From: Brasil, with S, not Z

As if anyone would dare pronounce it with z :D

They're not Google ads, they're Clicksor ads :p

I don't have Opera installed, it seems to be the only browser that borks on the page though.

Angelico_Payne, thin as low fat (or less memory eater, you choose), that i believe that is better :D

> pronounce it with z

they type. it's enough ;)

My IE7 won't install on the VirtualPC with WGA. A window pops up saying it is validating my copy of windows and then it just goes away without installing IE7. (No connection to internet)

Not a pain I guess as I can just install it on my own after I have activated Windows on my real PC but would be nice if I could get AP to install it! Any ideas? Mat. :)

Autopatcher creators are GODS! You save my life again and again, whenever we feel hopeless while doing updates via dial-up, BAM! a new autopatcher is released and drop that sun'a'bitch on my flashdrive and away i go. All of us techs love this project u got here, and either this friday or two weeks from now i plan to donate to yaz :-D :woot:

[alabasterdragon]

OK Perhaps someone can give me a hand. I've run into a snag with the Nov ed. I've downloaded both the upgrade and the full and have problems with both.

Before I get into that I would like to say THANK YOU! to the folks behind this. Autopatcher saves me lots of time and effort when reloading customers computers.

First for the upgrade.

The PC I installed the upgrade on is a Dell 4600 that had The Aug Full installed along with the Sept & Oct updates, all of which worked great. Installation of Nov Update went fine. When I run the program I get an error.

"Module Panic

! Module Panic on Microsoft XML Paser (MSXML) 3.0 SP7!

You are running Windows XP Professional Edittion (English -- locale 1033) + IE7

Parent and/or Prerequisite item missing?"

!?!? Did I miss something? I did install IE7 final a few weeks ago. I'm assuming I've got a problem, since all the releases of Autopatcher I've used on my PCs and others have been flawless, but what is that problem?

Second Problem. My primary PC...self built system...no cheapo crap.

I had previously installed Aug Full installed along with the Sept & Oct updates, but uninstalled autopatcher (I went on an uninstall crusade)... I reinstalled from the Nov full. but when I run it I get the EULA screen, but it is blank, as well as both of the options. I click the top circle, knowing that is the agree option...and click the left button (both buttons are also blank). and Promptly get a "Run-time error 429: ActiveX component can't create object." I click on and then then autopatcher closes.

Also...to see what is would do. I tried to reinstall Aug Full, and then all updates thru Nov and still I get the same response on this second PC.

Any ideas? Any help appreciated. Thank you in advance.

i really dont understand why several people are having module panic errors with the msxml 3 module. @alabasterdragon, can you confirm you have a file called msxml_enu.amc in c:\program files\autopatcher\modules\components\

[teraboy]

ap nov 2006 - full (xp) eng.

i installed the full ver. everything loaded fine.

i discovered that help files for most apps (word, excel etc) cannot display any topics.

any ideas?

thanks,

I ran a search on the entire drive...and the answer is no

I copied the file from the machine that I'm getting the blank eula (activex error) and that does fix the problem.

The problem I don't think is the installer, or the download. I (since my first post) updated my wife's pc with the same downloaded nov update, and it worked fine.

That at least got me around the problem. If I have to I just run Drive image and restore the other pc to the last image...and try again.

Thank you.

:)

that 'msxml_enu.amc' should have been injected (or at least updated) in October; mine carries the date 10/15/2006 ...

I haven't applied the November patches yet !

Can I proceed ?

:)

:cool:

[dix7]

Is someone making a spanish version?

[maxkohl]

Q: Now that AP includes IE7/WMP11 - does it still patches IE6/WMP10 up-to-date?

Reason is, I don't want to have compatability issues, and since IE7/WMP11 are not things that can be uninstalled totally & easily, I'd rather wait before updating to them, but still have my IE6/WMP10 fully updated - will AP Nov06+ do that?

Thanks.

And, for the third time, can we have the non functioning "Disable Sticky Keys" tweak removed? It does nothing at all.

[supercat7]

autopatcher November ,work ok for me

dont forget , you should not update a " mission critical " PC unless you really know what your doing !

[jwelsh405]

This is cool. First time i seen this. Helped me out the other day when i had to reformat two of my computers. Excellenct work.

Followup to earlier post, this problem showed up on various other systems including HP Media Centre units. Solution is to uninstall IE7 and then reinstall from MS download.

Thanks guys for all your hard work

Morning, Just found an issue and we are investigating further. Tested NovLite package on new HP and Acer units without a problem, however when run on a Toshiba A100-TA1 unit there is a problem with the IE7 update. Had no problems with validation such as was mentioned by others and seemed to install flawless. However the IE7 update does not seem to register properly within XP. There is no IE7 icon in the start menu and when you type in any address in the address bar in IE7 it returns an error "the requested lookup key was not found in any active activation context." This installation problem also prevents Norton AntiVirus 2007 from installing. As I mentioned this error does not occur in any other machine except this one Toshiba model (other A100 models TA2, TA4, SK8, tested ok) tested so far and did not occur with August Lite plus Sept and Oct updates followed by the MS IE7 install. This was duplicated on more than one unit of this type but was resolved by deselecting the IE7 update in the Nov Lite package and then installing IE7 after from the MS download.

Thanks

Keep up the awesome work.

What version of MS Office are you using?

Have you had previous versions installed on the computer?

Any custom help files or modifications?

Do both the answer wizard and help topics appear blank?

Do you have the same problem when logged in with administrative priviledge and user priviledges?

[Recall1982]

Why there is no Polish version of Autopatcher? :(

[PsiMoon314]

Hi,

In order for validation to work you must have KB892130 installed.

If this is not installed you will fail validation even if you have a good Windows Product Key.

Some of the parameters on the WMP11 install command line are really needed to prevent reboots and to work around issues if you have System Restore disabled.

If you don't use them you may run into problems and issues with some installs of WMP11.

My advice would be to use the complete commands lines as used by APXP to avoid these issues.

Kind Regards

Simon

[Cavalyr]

just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work on this. thanks.

[supermouse]

PsiMoon314, ok. i've changed here. but will be fixed only next month. but interesting. i did some tests with system restore disabled and the only one thing that changed was the time for install. but maybe be just luck.

thanks for advice
