eithyia Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 After using each monthly release of AutoPatcher with great success, (Thanks guys! ;)) I've come across a huge bug in the newest release. (February, v. 4.5). I've downloaded it from three different locations, tried the full version, and the one that updates the January release. I've also tried installing each version on two separate computers; four times for the full, and twice with the update. The problem is this: No matter what I check or uncheck, AutoPatcher installs EVERYTHING! I can have one item checked, ten items checked, doesn't matter..AutoPatcher installs everything that's available. So my question is, what gives? Is this a known problem, or is it just me? Is there an update available that I've missed? Cheers for any help, I'm quite puzzled. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpugeniusmv Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 would you mind taking some screenshots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eithyia Posted March 17, 2004 Author Share Posted March 17, 2004 Screenshots of which windows exactly? I can take one of the checked/unchecked items, pressing 'update', and the next screen which shows '179/179' (IIRC) installing. Not sure how it will assist, but I'll do so if necessary.

Swiftie Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 I dont want to hijack the thread but could some one explain this error here. Its from the UltraLite version :cool: Brgs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlishFun Veteran Posted March 17, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 17, 2004 I dont want to hijack the thread but could some one explain this error here. Its from the UltraLite version :cool:Brgs Well that's surely odd! If I remember correctly, the AP shouldn't even get that far if there's a problem with the batch ID's. :s I'll check it out. Maybe try running it again and see if the issue goes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentKnight Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 This is back to eithyia's problem. First they mention using the one that updates the Jan release. There was no such release. February was a FULL only because of so many changes. And I could be wrong but wasn't that a problem that the patch for the February release fixed?

Need 2 fomat anyway as I've been playing bout with MDK 10. I was a bit suprised as it must not be a error that some one else has experienced otherwise they would have posted it unless if no one is using the Ultralite version :blush: Brgs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're just the first to report an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldBear Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Not sure if it is totally widespread, but I too had a few things (mainly reg tweaks) installed that I specifically asked the Patcher not to. Open with Notepad for unknown files; Copy to, Move to menu right click; Uesr passwords2 was added; Search assistant wasn't removed; Windows time service wasn't disabled; Apart from that, awesome program. Please don't ask for screenies, I manually fixed the probs myself. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akaladis Veteran Posted March 17, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 17, 2004 flish... if it just points to a non-existing batchID it wont crash on load... crash appears when pointing to 2 batches simultaniously :p so check up your database for mistakes :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any luck Raptor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akaladis Veteran Posted March 17, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 17, 2004 acutally it doesnt count like that... in count an item if its State is set to All or Some... which doesnt explain counting more :p /Raptor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
