FrankDHubeny Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 just go delete the files optiplex is talking about from autopatcher's bin folder :)wherever you see "xml" in \bin folder, kill it... same goes for scrrun.dll :) 584955562[/snapback] Hello Group; Removeing the above listed files from Autopatcher solved my "WFP" problem. I was only able to try it out on one PC. I used the "ultralight data base". Thanks for the fix. I had a question about the removed files. What are they for, and is updateing them needed ? If so how ?

akaladis Veteran Posted November 23, 2004 Veteran Share Posted November 23, 2004 well... they are mostly XML libraries and Scripting Runtime libraries. It appears that Windows 2000 doesn't like them much though, so I guess you don't need to update anything else.

calidude Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 I had to take the files off of my host since I apparently have a daily bandwidth limit and it kept getting hit each day. :( Sorry everyone. :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/241630-autopatcher-2000-october-2004/page/4/#findComment-584983752 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Maxim Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 My PC Cillin 2002 antivirus program detects viruses in the Java (the Sun Java, I think) files after I install this version of AutoPatcher, and it was the same with the previous version. Have you verified those Java distributions for viruses? Thank you.

syntax01010 Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Any chance we will see an update to the Autopatcher 2000 to include up to current updates and hotfixes released since October? If yes, any idea as to when a new version will be out for Autopatcher 2000? If no, any info on where someone could find and download a collection of the Windows 2000 stuff updated and patched since then?

Bram Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I will start off by saying to all that that read this that I put the 'N' in novice...just so that is understood. Anyway, my problem is with downloading Autopatcher Ver 4.6.24 I have downloaded the full version on two separate occasions (using dial up!!) and there has been a problem when I unpack the file. The first time there were around 100 "broken files" and auto patcher wouldn't start. So I downloaded it again and the second time there were 300 "broken files" same result. What is the problem? I have 2000 sp4 I use flashget download manager with dial up. Any help would be very much appreciated.

jojothehobo Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Hi: I downloaded the AutoPatcher 2000 exe and it was totally awsome. I can't thank the team enought. It was simple to use, namely: 1. run the .exe and select the same folder as AutoPatcher 2000.exe to put the output into (or create another folder for the output if you wish) 2. Then run AutoPatcher_menu.exe and select the option to install autopatcher. 3. Make your selections (or use the defaults) and sit back and wait for installation to complete. 4. Reboot and you're done. Easy and your system is mucho better. I saw a lot of exchanges on how to set up the iso from a cd rom. They sounded painful. Downloading the exe and running it is soo much easier. Microsoft should kiss your boots for this service, but knowing them they won't and probably will give you a hard time since customer service and user friendly were never their strong suits. Thanks again. jojothehobo Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/241630-autopatcher-2000-october-2004/page/4/#findComment-585699480 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerrysl Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 I downloaded and ran today the Autopatcher2000 program. What an awesome system. Microsoft should give you donation (even if anonymously) because of the bandwidth you must save them. I had one glitch with the first run of the program. IT got to 8% on WMP9 and my CPU usage went to 100% and stayed there, with nothing happening like forever. So I killed the process a.l.a. taskmanager and ran it again with the WMP9 deselected since I already had it installed anyway. This one completed successfully. I then went to Windows Update and checked for new updates . It found 8 . Here are the KB numbers. KB 886903 KB 885492 KB 873333 KB 890047 KB 888113 KB 885250 KB 891781 KB 867282 I hadn't previously read this thread, and therefore had not removed any files from the bin folder and had no other issues. So now that I have the extra updates, can I add them to my database as custom programs or not? Or is that function for installing stuff like Adaware and Spybot S&D?

akaladis Veteran Posted April 8, 2005 Veteran Share Posted April 8, 2005 Well, this release (AutoPatcher 2000) is quite old as you can see (dated October 2004) so some new hotfixes are not included. Being based on the AutoPatcher 4.6 engine, adding your own stuff is a little difficult, since there is a central 'database'-style file. New releases, based on the AutoPatcher 5.0 engine are quite easy to customize, since every item is a stand-alone module. AutoPatcher 2000 will be transfered to the new engine sooner or later.

kerrysl Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Yes I was aware of the age, and therefore expected that there would be extras to grab after the Autopatcher run. I posted the numbers just to inform exactly what has been added since October, right up until today. Even though the extras were only 8.9MB and took only a few minutes on broadband to get, for the people I am planning to help, I still wouldn't like to go out to Update for even those 8MB, expecially on dial up, if they are paying me for my time. Therefore I would want them on CD either standalone or within Autopatcher. I'm just trying to work out the best way to do that. The documentation that comes with Autopatcher 2000 speaks about customization and adding extra programs to the install. I just wondered if that was aimed at extra hotfixes or programs like SpyBot or Anti Virus. I really would like to get these machines as protected as possible, BEFORE they need to connect to the Internet. Kerry.

akaladis Veteran Posted April 8, 2005 Veteran Share Posted April 8, 2005 Actually, there's no real difference between a hotfix and a program. Just as long as you know how to silently install the hotfix/program. If I remember correctly (it's a long time since I touched AutoPatcher 4.x source) you would need to assign a uniqueID of KBxxxxxx for the hotfix to make detection work (since back in those day we had no big detection mechanism - hotfixes were given uniqueIDs of KBxxxxx/Qxxxxxx).
