AutoPatcher XP February 2007

....Carrying around 4 CDs so I can update a box is a bit ridiculous......

.....an unhappy and soon to be former Autopatcher user....

Don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you. Show some appreciation for a product that the developers don't require you to purchase. Geez

Why would you need to carry around 4 CDs? Ever thought of placing all 4 on one CD? Shocking, I know.

Developers: Keep up the good work !!

[supermouse]

what is the problem with download a full version, update it then compile it again to make a full version or just burn that merged version or copy it in any media?

by the way: pt-br update is already uploaded to sign. but it's party time for now...

OK, I complained about this before, I think it's ridiculous that a full version has not released since November, enough patches and updates have been released since then to justify a full update. Carrying around 4 CDs so I can update a box is a bit ridiculous. There are enough mirrors and torrent seeds available that taxing someones bandwidth isn't a big deal. The difference between downloading a 80Mb and 300+Mb file is not a big deal to most of us either, broadband is widely available and if your complaining that you don't have broadband and need smaller downloads, then just use Windows Update or find someone who does...

The bandwidth issue is not to do with the people downloading, it's the mirrors.

The mirrors chew up a hell of a lot of bandwidth as it is, having lazy people download the full release because they can't be arsed to click 4 links instead of one only makes the situation worse. That extra 200+ mb per month adds up very quickly when you shift tens of thousands of downloads.

these figures are from the Torrent tracker so aren't entirely representative of the HTTP mirrors (More people use the HTTP mirrors...) but should get the point across.

For the XP release alone, 27276 people have downloaded the update files. Assuming a 200mb filesize difference, that's roughly 5455200 mb in wasted data transfer saved. Average that over the 3 months (being generous as the Feb releases are new) that's still 1363800 mb per month saved, so 1331.84 gb or 1.3 terrabytes a month PER MIRROR. Bandwidth is not free.

my mirror has plenty free, just not so many people use it :p

[cwarnke]

@cwarnke, if i'm not mistaken, the defaults switch must always come last!

Thanks that was the problem.

and the second problem was that I can't use "..\winxp.ini".

it must look like this!

install.cmd

start /wait autopatcher\Autopatcher.exe /noeula /nochecks /noreboot /nonags /nolog /unattend:t2 /defaults:Winxp.ini

KB885626: Critical Update for Windows XP (v2)

This update couldn't be installed, any way can solve it or perhaps it's for some function or feature that I might not be using or installed in my Windows? :unsure:

[Basan]

Well fellas, I'll to bring it to ya. Congrats on that new AP version programming... and cheers to us who will be bale to use it.

I'm still having a lil' trouble as to get it to work, provided I dl'ed from the link that Gandolas gave us with Shareazaa and it ended up (in my dl's folder) as a an *.wmv file. :blink:

Anyone can please help me out here?

[gandolas]

You download from which link? The links I posted are the ones resulting from hashing the files I created, so, you shouldn't have gotten any .wmv file.

hi. there's an small issue regarding AP PT-BR update. i've changed 2 modules at Stand Alone (Winrar and Foxit). Winrar was with a bad detection and Foxit had an update to build 1414. not a big deal, in fact, but update installer removes booth modules and doesn't replace it by the new version. it will not damage or do any mess in your machine, just that 2 modules will not be installed (will be removed, in fact). there's more than one solution for that:

- you may go to Foxit Website and manually download the installer (Foxit Reader 2.0 (.exe)). go to Winrar Website and do the same. booth are pretty tiny;

- you may go to AP install folder, modules, stand_alone before update and copy all files to some place and replace it latter. you may stay with a older version of foxit, but that's all

MD5 for PT-BR is c1ae2b85495b20031ce56bbace66289f

emule link, to those that with it:

ed2k://|file|AutoPatcher_XP_Feb2007_PortugueseBrazil_Update.exe|55448374|F73072836C1AEAA559CCA30038DE8800|/

can take some time until sources appear

torrent mirrors:

please fell free to mirror it in any place that you wish

best regards

From this link, which was at this thread's 1st post (made by 'Blazing Angel). ==> ed2k://|file|AutoPatcher_XP_Feb2007_Portuguese_Full.exe|360436637|EAC39859FC1406C9547B8A4D2E6D9DB8|/

Anyway... what I did was to copy-paste it into Shareazaa, search for it and then dl' it. :blink:

Will try to copy-paste it to uTorrent and see how it goes.

the ed2k P2P network won't work with uTorrent.

^^ Try this time with eMule (and not with Shareazaa).

AutoPatcher Feb 2007 all version are ready [2000/XP/2003/Vista]

wait for udate mirror by LittlBUGer or http://autopatcher.pol.pl/pobieranie.php

AutoPatcher Greek Feb07 ready!

http://autopatcher.cns.gr

[ANACONDIUM]

thank you very much, especially for the greek autopatcher!!!

[Basan]

^^ Try this time with eMule (and not with Shareazaa).

Thanks for the heads up. But generally Shareazaa makes dl's available from the eDonkey2K network along with the Gnutella and a few others. For that, all I need is a list file form these networks in *.met format. If anyone is kind to grant me one to ease up future dl's, I'll be more than thankful. ;)

Anyway for any member that concerns, Gandolas has already provided me other (temporary) solution. Even though it might take a lil' while longer to do it. :)

[brundais]

hey. why not add the zune theme to autopatcher... :rolleyes:

[ngp]

AutoPatcher XP is supposed to include Adaptec ASPI as one of the add-ons. Either I'm blind, or it's simply not present. Can anyone else find Adaptec ASPI under 'Windows Addons'?

I'm using AutoPatcher XP Full, up-to-date as of February 2007.

Do you think people here care if you are going to become a former Autopatcher user?

Do you think that the creators are going to stop Autopatcher because you are leaving?

The answer is simple....NO.

If you don't like it, dont use it, its very simple. Sometimes people download programs, install them, the system stops responding, and then quickly complaint that the program did this to my PC, the program did that to my PC. Some people do not have the knowledge to download and install programs. Also, NEVER download a program and install it on your main PC. Get yourself another PC to test.

The creators are spending a lot of their time to make Autopatcher, and people like you do not value their work.

Just needed to vent.

By the way. Keep up the good work Autopatcher team. (Y)

[astinius1]

I love it when constructive critisism and my opinion turns into a flame war... I state my opinion and people just turn around and attack me... Goes to show that most people (like you) don't value others opinions.

And by the way... i'm not some ignorant end user, as you have assumed... I have been in IT for 16+ years and hold more certifications than my business cards can even hold...

It was hardly constructive criticism you gave, and I stand by my own opinion and think that anyone who boasts about being in IT for so long needs to experience a wider range of life.

As mentioned previously, why not compile your own full build (I do every month for my own Resource CD), all the tools and documentation are freely available on these forums, mind you you don't need to read that do you because you've been in IT for 16+ years and have more certificates than business cards can hold

enough of this argument please, i believe the original post behind it was answered sufficiently by M2Ys4U a month ago.
