DsnBehind Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 i know the MD5 sum was posted earlier...but i'd really like to see a sum for the executable package, as well as for all the files when unpacked... i've downloaded several different "versions" of this release, several different hashes. i'd like to figure out which one is the right one! lol Here is a sum of the HTTP version, as well as its unpacked contents.

EZRecovery Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 HTTP has underscores, torrent has space.... That is weird :huh: Both of my downloads were torrent files, I couldnt get the HTTP links to work :no: And both files have the underscore on the executable file :yes: Anyway, I got all my 4 boxes up and running without any problem I'll invite for the round :beer: :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Sunde Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Just wanted to tell the author of the setup program that the program starts at DESKTOP CENTER... this is not very good for me or any other multimonitor user.. =) as I program myself i know there is an option for it so please set it to screen center, not DESKTOP center.. this is not that a big deal, just annoying when you run the update once a month... *grin* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddstar Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Update: Flishfun, Unfortunately My Hosting is down for the moment, and more than likely indefinitely for the Autopatcher. My Host Globat.com didn't seem to like the "Slashdotting", their server took for a few hours, and I assume headaches it caused for them. Anywho, it's supposed to be a no-no for bit-torrent files so instead of getting banned I'll haveto pull the files! Apparently even after I pulled the BT files, the exe for the December Full and Update was dramatically utilizing about 70% on their server. Sorry :( Well, I guess the good news is that I hosted about 20gigs in 10 hours on release day...and the BitTorrent apparently helped a ton of people. Maybe I'll just help out releasing the monthly updates through BT now...(BT - Now upto 661 Times the file's been snatched/downloaded) Just wanted to give an update, you can pull all my links now for aj-designs.com... -AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trentm Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Uh-oh! That means somehow one of the old versions slipped out somewhere! Okay, this is what you do...Rename: AutoPatcherXP Menu.exe --> AutoPatcherXP_Menu.exe AutoPatcher Menu.ico --> AutoPatcher_Menu.ico AutoPatcher Menu.apm --> AutoPatcher_Menu.apm And edit the autorun.inf and change: [autorun] open=AutoPatcher Menu.exe icon=AutoPatcher Menu.ico to [autorun] open=AutoPatcher_Menu.exe icon=AutoPatcher_Menu.ico That will fix that issue. (Y) I thought we fixed it, but I guess someone somewhere got the first flawed version (that's the only flaw). EDIT - Looks like AgEnTsMiTh beat me to it... anywho, anyone having this prob, this will fix it. :D evidently I got this beta version also! However I clicked a http link #1 while downloading it! If that helps! The only question I have are we postivie that these are all the changes needed to fix it or could there be other problems in some of the code files? just wondering :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddstar Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Well, basically the problem with pulling that version would be everyone that is sharing on BT would haveto re-download it all over again, for some minor changes. It was just a little bit of bad luck before it was actually released or else I would've updated the BT version...To me the change didn't impact an extremely large amount of people anyway...Hopefully it didn't cause a lot of headaches for the http hosts out there by many people having to re-download the newest changes/build, etc... -AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have no idea how some people got it. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally i can disable windows update :happy: good job mate, i appreciate it. No prob! And it's not 100% perfect, I'd say 99%, a couple of bugs were found that only happen on some PCs, but we found a fix, so I'll say Jan's Release will probably be 99.5% perfect. :D Anywho, Welcome to Neowin, and I'm glad you like it!

c4rl0s Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 btw, i don't know if its mentioned yet.. couldnt find it anywhere tho. Please tell people to disable their antivirus products like norton,panda etc. before installinging the xpautopatcher cuz the antivirus program will block the .vbs scripts that are used in the installation. (ive seen it happen at several people here around me) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
