AutoPatcher XP November 2006

[+M2Ys4U Subscriber¹]

Hi all, can anyone help me with this problem?

"Module Panic

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

You are running Windows XP Professional SP2 (locale 1033) + IE7

Parent and/or Prerequisite item missing?"

i already have the earlier version of AP installed before(Aug) before installing this version. Also i got the IE7 and MS Office 2007 installed before installing this version(Nov) of AP too. Anyone have any idea of how to solve this problem?

Thank you

If you're using the Nov Full release, delete your old install before using this. If you're using the update, you must have all of the updates in between August and November

[supermouse]

maybe be an stupid question, but since that cumulative updates replaces old ones and msie7 is an critical update that replaces msie6, why KB922760, that is an cumulative update for msie6 is doing on autopatcher november? that is really needed?

I was looking at the Windows Server 2003 SP2 RC2 patchlist and found a few things that apply to Windows XP SP2. Perhaps they would be useful to add to Autopatcher Dec/Jan.

And that brings me back to my un-answered question here:

https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...amp;p=588112461

I remember you guys said that once the problematic-at-first SP2 was out, you still supported SP1 for some period of time...what's with WIE7/WMP11 ? I really don't want to install a browser that's said to break a slew of working things on my PC, and I don't really need a new and bloated media player when I already use much slimmer 3rd-party solutions. However, I DO want all the updates to my installed IE6/WMP10, just to be safe in case some program tries to exploit them - will AP Nov06+ releases still update IE6/WMP10 if user choses not to install their successors ?

Thank you.

[iverson0881]

at the current rate (~30mbit+), my remaining 500gb wont last the week till the bandwidth is reset on my mirror, at the mo its no problem but i may need to slow it down in the next few days if things dont slow down :p

Yeah there was something about the launch of the new autopatcher.com website that unleashed some get em while it's hot frenzy. for the first few days I received about 80-90GB of bandwidth. Now I average 50-60GB of bandwidth per day. its insane. I'm pretty much out of bandwidth so if there's an Autopatcher release this month, well it won't last long.

PsiMoon314:

The security updates for .NET Framework 2 do not always install on the first run with APXP. I suspect this is because on clean systems without .NET Framework 2 already installed, they are run before .Net Framework 3 is installed.

i'm testing it. i id an pre-release with december updates and i've removed .net 2. also ap indexes releases by his own release date, i've moved that to .net 3 (so, if you select to install .net 3, it should install that 2 security updates for .net 2 just after .net 3, that may do the thing happends fine). so far, it will runs on my test machines only.

maxkohl:

> will AP Nov06+ releases still update IE6/WMP10 if user choses not to install their successors ?

that can be done. i did it on my beta builds. i was thinking something about updates for msie7 just be showed for msie7 and msie6 updates not showed if you already have msie7. the same thing to wmp10, but i was unable to do it right (i've always got some errors). so, i've let it behind. there's another issue regarding it too: size. ap is becoming fat and it will only do an diet when sp3 arrive (that should be in 2008/2009). more fat, more bandwith...

anyway, it's easy do an "home made" version with that includes that sort of updates. you just need grab that removed updates from a previews version, put that on his original places and compile it again. the hard thing becomes just add the new updates for that

SP3 in 2008/2009?! SP4 maybe.

[supermouse]

xyz123, ms already had annouce that sp3 will not arrive in 2007. so, you just may expect that for 2008 or later. but of course, ms can change his plans again and again...

my bandwidth luckily gets reset usually a week before a release gets released so i usually have almost all of it ready to be burned :p

I very much doubt that any new service packs will be released for Windows XP. At best you may get a hotfix rollup for XP SP2 at some point.

They may surprise us by releasing some tools for XP from Vista but that will only help the take up of new features on Vista, not to extend the life of Windows XP.

MS will be concentrating their efforts on Windows Vista for the next few months and maybe years so little time and effort will be expended on XP now.

Windows XP will become the "Windows 2000" of Windows family very quickly.

I predict the first Service Pack for Windows Vista in Q4 2007 or Q1 2008. MS may stop shipping new copies of Windows XP before then.

Kind Regards

I'm pretty sure there will be an SP3 - isn't it slated for around the same time as the release of Longhorn server?

[supermouse]

first test with december version done. seems that can be removed:

KB911567

KB922760

for updates to .net 2, install it just after .net 3 doesn't work. at windows update, that updates for .net 2 are still there. but a restart maybe be needed in order to that updates work. anyway, if .net 2 is there, it can be done at once

[ZAF]

ehm...thank ya for the good work all this time but i am just wondering where is the other languages????the december will be finish soon and no update or full version for the other languages except english for the november.

c ya!!!

[the_guy]

KB918766 and KB920214 are also able to be removed. Replaced by MS06-076.

IIRC, Windows XP originally had 5-year support commitment. It debuted October 25, 2001. Five years after that it was supposed to go into a long-term support mode for an additional 2 years, then 3 more years before product support gets pulled. Obviously that plan didn't work out and I don't recall how MS said they were going to support XP once Vista gets out. I senese XP becoming a "scapegoat" for Vista adoption-- all those technologies slated for Vista that were said to be backported to XP may never see the light of day (WinFS, et al if they ever are released). MS will probably end support for XP where it sees fit as long as a dollar is to be made; they'll Win2K it or worse.

I also was watching some of the video blogs from the project leaders of Vista. They suggested Vista may never have a "Service Pack" as we're accostomed to it (Updates & New Features). Vista's installation contains the minimum to get itself running on a PC and connected to the internet. This way vendors can send WHQLed drivers to MS via Microsoft Update; one consolidated place for all software & hardware updates. I hypothesize somewhere around the 2 year mark MS will do a SRP for Vista and re-RTM the OS for vendors (see XP Gold, XPSP1/a, XPSP2) - probably around the same time when Longhorn Server is introduced. I also believe MS will offer new technolgies for Vista progressively over the years and not bind those releases to the introduction of a Service Pack - as in Windows Firewall 2 in SP2.

Just my two cents.

[leandro m.]

don't know if is the correct topic to ask this question, sorry if i post in the wrong place, i'm new in autopatcher but i need some help.

i've just re-format my system and try to install the lite release of november/06 that i've downloaded, but i got this message after the autopatcher load the modules

'Module Panic on Windows Update v6

You are running Windows XP Professional Edition (Portuguese -- locale 1046) + IE6

Are you sure you downloaded the right release'

i don't get it. The FAQ on the autopatcher.com says that it will load on any windows version, showing only the included items (modules) witch match the running environment

i think that the core updates, like the securities update would match.

there's anything i can do to load the modules ?

i can't download another version cause i'm on a 56k dial-up connection now.

thanks in advance. :)

[+M2Ys4U Subscriber¹]

I'm afraid that although the AutoPatcher program will load on any locale of Windows, the specific releases are geared towards specific locales, in this case you've most probably downloaded an English release and it will, therefore, not work.

[supermouse]

leandro m., i'm sorry pal, but there's no any official build for portuguese at this month. for brazilian portuguese, there's the mine, but it's unofficial.

by the way: if you have downloaded this version because of that description at superdownloads, forget about it. they don't have any clue about they are typing. an english release is intented to work in english versions of windows xp only. the same thing happends to other releases. yes, you can change locale to 1046 and it may work, but don't do it. you will do a great mess in your system.

tip: ask to a friend that have broadband download it for you or go to any cyber. it may helps.

[leandro m.]

i've read that description in the autopatcher official site, but now i saw here that isn't really any windows, only 'any english windows'.

actually i have access to broadband connection, but is in another city, i'd like to leave that computer here 'up to date', cause my sister uses it, and everytime i come back home stranger things happens to do system, well, next time i come back i fix that computer. ;)

thanks anyway :)

I agree with your analogy of XP becoming the next W2k. If MS decides to put off a service pack 3 for XP until sometime in 2008, and with mainstream support for XP expected to terminate in early 2009, then MS will probably decide not to issue a SP3 and do a "last minute / last rites" rollup update exactlyas they did with W2k. It's just not going to be a priority to issue a major service pack for XP. The difference being that service packs contain many, many more hotfixes and features which go through heavy quality control, where as a hotfix rollup contains much fewer patches and is minimalistic in nature, both quantity and quality. With the proximity of the expected SP3 release to date of termination mainstream support.... well... I wouldn't hold my breath for a SP3.

[acetken]

I thought they already confirmed that they were doing one?

[cme4pc]

I thought they already confirmed that they were doing one?

Depends on what your definition of "confirmed" is. Yes, there are people at Microsoft working (as in mentally conceptualization and gathering of published hotfixes, etc.) on a SP3, and MS has let it be known that with all the hotfixes, patches, and other goodies released since the rollout of SP2, that it would seem logical to put together a SP3. However, they did EXACTLY the same thing as the sun set on Win2k mainstream support; promised a service pack, released a rollup update and told everyone to migrate to WinServer 2003 if you "really" want to make things better and "oh btw... we don't support win2k anymore"

It just doesn't make since from the viewpoint of corporate profit to expend valuable time and human resources in 2008 on a product, Win XP, you have slated for termination in 2009. It especially doesn't make since when you have a new and improved Vista package that is more secure, more bang for the consumer buck, and is rapidly gaining market / installed base in 2008.

Another mode of thinking with the lords of MS is that with the monthly releases of patches and fixes through MS update, why release any service packs at all? The delivery of critical security, important patches and new features through the update site, be they for XP or Vista should be more than sufficient for end user support. They believe that publishing Service Packs is simply duplication of effort after mainstreaming most fixes through automatic updates. I'd be surprised if there are ANY more Service Packs from MS, period.

[macmax]

Any release date for December ?
