@unimatirxzer0, were till doing update releases, just not this time, there have been so many changes since the feb07 releases based on v5.1 that it calls for removing all previous versions and replacing them entirely with the new core releases

hi guys, awesome!

Softpedia and TechDomain both say this comes with autopatcher 5.1 - that's not right is it? They should say 5.6 yeah?

well spotted... That will teach me for stealing the "included" part of softpedia's description. Its fixed now, and I am using the description from here. It was the right file version though!

Hello. :cool:

First of all, thank you guys for this lovely and long expected release and for all the hard work you put into it. I have just one quick question, although it's maybe a bit stupid:

Why is my Automatic Updates service started and set to 'automatic' after installing v5.6 of Autopatcher XP?

Was that necessary out of some reason? Thank you in advance.

Cheers and keep up the good work.

Just a guess but I think "Windows Update v7" did that, one reason why I didn't install it.

yey, i knew it was a good idea to put that into the new installer :D

the problem is that your trying to install the new core release (based on autopatcher version 5.6) over an older release (based on autopatcher version 5.1)

the solution, uninstall or delete the older copy of autopatcher first then try again

Where is :

Sun Java 2 SE Runtime Environment v6.0 Update 1?

Drivers ASPI v4.71.2?

It is not included!!!!!!!

as someone else said, for sunjava you need to get the 'extras' addon pack

the aspi addon was removed from autopatcher. we had a poll about it over a month ago.

Wow, impressive. Autopatcher now runs from a UNC path! Yippeeeeeee!!!!!!

A few minor niggles:

I updated one machine today, and then followed up on Microsoft Update.

MS Update found KB923689, which doesn't seem to be included in Autopatcher.

Secondly, KB885626 is always selected for install, no matter how many times I install it.

A few improvements for autopatcher.exe:

1: If all the items in a subtree are coloured blue then colour the subtree line blue too. It kept listing .net framework in black, but when expanded, all the items had already been installed.

2: There's alot of blank space on screen when Autopatcher is installing stuff. It would be nice to see the full text description of each patch in that huge blank space under the progress bar when they are being installed.

Otherwise, great job all round.

      Useful to know, thanks!
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.

      I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
