i've created a torrent mirror. you may found it at:

http://www.mininova.org/tor/801124

http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3748061

ed2k://|file|AutoPatcher_WinXP_Jul07_x86_PTB_Core.exe|354628312|4ECB95F899FF34FF86181C3E1F77711F|/

more mirrors are welcome. also i'm seeding it at torrent, i've just take the e2k link and i'm not seeding it for emule. if you wish download by http, please, seed it at the way you can, but please check md5 or e2k link to see if your download is ok:

AutoPatcher_WinXP_Jul07_x86_PTB_Core.exe

md5: 64be364ad483662eaa0e50b28f129dc1

thanks in advance for any mirroring help

[]s

edit: 4shared mirror removed. it was missing one part and i've deleted that splited version from my disk, so, i will need upload that all again, but i'm seeding at torrent now, uploading at 50K and i haven't enough bandwith to upload while i'm seeding. that mirror will be fixed tomorrow, after some more torrent/emule mirror arrive

the compiling process is incredibly slow on Vista x64 (possibly broken by restrictions {I have UAC off mind}) I'm attempting to compile a July Core Based Release

I've installed in this order NSIS, AP: May, June, July, Direct X, Extras then edited the script sections to say July and my name as author etc, I didn't touch the specialised functions area afterwards.

The NSIS script compiler completes (kinda) when i run the compiler app 'as an administrator' and import the autopatcher script into it that way, it completes with 4 warnings

4 warnings:

install function "Locate" not referenced - zeroing code (242-492) out

install function ".MoveFolder_Locate_createDir" not referenced - zeroing code (3505-3513) out

install function ".MoveFolder_Locate_moveFile" not referenced - zeroing code (3513-3545) out

install function ".MoveFolder_Locate_deleteDir" not referenced - zeroing code (3545-3550) out

Dunno if this will help you in any way

ignore those warnings, they've just occurred because you've not used the moveFolder command. mentioned in the latest packing documentation btw! (appendix A).

part of the reason for slow compilation is: a) your compiling a release with a large file size. all the releases that apply to xp x86 combined add up to 545 MB! b) it's compressing them with solid lzma c) due to a limitation with the scripting language, to get overwrite control working, include commands have to be listed twice and so the compiler goes through every file twice (probably needs to do a check to compare the file it already has), unfortunately theres nothing i can do about that, it's down the nsis developers.

those last two points didn't apply to the old installer so thats why compiling takes longer with the new one if your wondering!

Thanks Blazing Angel, I really do owe you a drink, you're such a great source of help and information :)

Vista seemed to take an extra 2 reboots to clear up UAC for some reason :rolleyes:

:blush: I'm not sure if this is appropriate for this area but here goes.....

I started to download AutoPatcher XP July 2007, and noticed that I had overlooked the size of the file. I must say that I was disappointed because at that point I knew that I had to cancel the download because I have.... Yes you guessed it, Dial-up ISP. :wacko: I'm so mad I could chew nails and spit them! :x I live in a rural area where I'm serviced by "Verizon" :devil: I moved here from the City, some time ago and I still haven't gotten use to the slowness of the phone services ,updates by this company. They do everything, everywhere else before they provide us "Martians" :alien: the newest technology. Shame on "VERIZON" :angry: for contracting with the "FCC" and others in order to have "carte Blanche" :whistle: in what they provide their rural customers(Pretty much nothing) as far as modern technology goes.

I've been in touch with the "Corporate Head Quarters" who put me in touch with(You know how they shuffle you around.) :rofl: "VERIZON WEST" a company that I didn't know existed until recently, and they are the providers of my phone services. :shiftyninja: Who would have thought it? Of course they haven't a clue as to when they will be providing any type of "Highspeed Services" to us Martians. :alien: For this reason I'm unable to experience the wonders of "AutoPatcher XP July 2007" :shifty: it would take me a week to download it at less than 48 kbps. This is the main drawback of living in a rural area, because I love my computer and I love the INTERNET :wub: but it's going to drive me nuts :crazy: if some company doesn't hurry up and get some kind of Highspeed services to us rural surfers, without it costing us an arm and a leg for the services. There are a couple of companies who offer Highspeed, but it cost a "mint" :pinch: and you must purchase their software and hardware in order to subscribe to it. Any suggestions :hmmm: , anyone about how to get this program with snail speed? :bounce: Everyone, say shame on you "VERIZON" :devil: !

Peace Everyone :hug_girl:

Hi People,

first of all thanks to all the people involved in releasing Autopatcher July 2007, especially the BR version.

I loved the new features and capabilities but i have one doubt:

Can I merge the EN July Extras and June DirectX in the BR autopatcher?

Congratulations again!

Gustavo.

no. that releases are locked to english only. booth works in any language, but so far, no common release. also AP now supports descriptions in several languages at same time, i believe that the job is almost finished. i did all packs, but are unofficial and if you choose those, you will turn your AP into unofficial

theres a bug with the installation instructions for 928366 and 928365 (ones for .Net 1.1 SP1, the other for .Net 2.0/3.0), it'll be fixed in the august releases, for now you have to run the setup files manually or modify the setup instructions in the related .apm files (switches for 928366 should just be /Q, and for 928365 /qn /norestart)

933811 applies only to ie6 but i made a mistake and autopatcher displays it even if your running ie7 (will also be fixed in the august release), if you have ie7 then you don't need it

Oh I see. I understand and I get it now. Thanks for the detailed explanation. I guess I would just wait for August release for the bugs being fixed. Again, thanks for the release :yes:

Hi Blaze,

As a suggestion could you please add the known issues for the current release to a separate (perhaps locked) thread?

For those of us who don't mind editing our copies of AP to correct issues it would be a good place to look and quickly see all of the issues.

Kind Regards

Simon

OK, I installed may 2007 core the the monthly updates and the addons.

I then opened autopatcher selected to enable, tweakxp, the royal theme

etc...WGA is unchecked by default, and I sure as heck didnt check it

I click start,

1st update installed?

Windows Genuine Advantage (KB892130)

Of course there no cancel, and no way to stop it, I was saying NOOOOooooo!

I looked in addremove programs, yep its there and says "uninstallable"

WGA , of cource this is lastest version wich is uninstallable not even

that WGAremove program thats out there will not get rid of it.

so I wasted 6 hours setting is this install, loading drivers, trafering data

etc... for nothing. just to have to format AGAIN. Started over and

wasted more hours...

Great work love your program and all that used it for ever but this sucked.

next time I going in and finding the package for it your program and deleteing it

this was NOT cool. Not sure WHY or HOW figure i'd mention it happened

I deleted the WGA package, when i updated agin it skipped directly to the

2nd update as the the 1st was WGA, how is it "optional" iuf its being forced

wmp11 and ie7 require it. since a lot of people have installation issues with wmp11/ie7 and someone identified that wga must be installed first i set wmp11 & ie7 to depend on the was module in the july release. it must have been selecting wmp11/ie7 that got wga selected.

i wouldn't worry though, theres no harm really in having wga installed. you don't have to use it.

I don't even want it on my system, and BTW I installed IE7

and WMP by them selfs many times without WGA installed.

I know there no appeart harm but lot of people don't want

WGA / WPA of any kind on thier pc many of those prefer

autopatcher.

in fact, wga is not needed to install in a lot of cases. if windows instalation is really ok, wga is not needed. in fact, i believe that this one should not have a quiet instalation. more than be an update, this one is quite controversal some people call it of spyware, a tool to fight against piracy, etc. so, i really believe that the user must have a choice to read about what is this one, choose if he agree with it and select to install or not and live with the consequences. by example, if ie7 and wmp11 is not installing, the user can run it manually. he can learn what he can give as gift because he has it and other things. by installing wga, by sample, ms gives 1 year of an AV (at least, was giving it last time that i checked). and by doing that, you are not helping piracy in any way, you are just giving to the user a choice to live with that
