AutoPatcher XP November 2006


Recommended Posts

Thanks and congratz to Autopatcher team all the while for their superb release.

However, I installed the November Update and it seem that in my list doesn't have

- KB922760: Cumulative Update for Internet Explorer for Windows XP SP2

as stated in the new updates for November. Izzit just mine or other experience the same thing as well? :unsure:

"This release is based on the all-new AutoPatcher 5.1. Although it was made with Windows XP SP2 English in mind, it will load on any (English) Windows version, showing only the items which match the running environment."

Just found your program and am trying the November XP release for the 1st time - several questions:

1) According to Windows Update, my system is up to date - yet according to autopatcher, I am missing two critical updates. Reading the KB on the updates, I see no reason why they should not be installed on my system (XP-Pro). Curious as to why you pick them up and Windows Updates does not. Just check the system using the security definitions for Belarc Advisor dated 2006.11.14 - and it passes with a clean bill of health - no missing critical updates.

The two items in question are: 901190 & 917537

2) Of the 45 recommended updates - only 11 show as already installed. Again, according to Windows Update, I am up to date and have no optional components waiting to install.

Some of the early ones I recognize has having been downloaded an installed on earlier system rebuilds - but have not been offered on more current rebuilds. I had assumed that they were no longer needed or were replaced with something else more current.

3) On the MSXML section - it shows that I have Security update for MSXML 3.0 SP7 installed KB924191 - yet is telling me that I don't have MSXML 3.0 installed. Is it possible to have the SP7 update installed w/o having the base program installed? (I have no idea what is installed).

Just curious - wanted to be sure that any updates for XP-Home are not being display when the OS is XP-Pro. I assume that there is no problem installing everything - so that it will switch to a BLUE installed state...

Thanks -

Nice work, this is the best program ever written for windows ya know, I use it ALL the time at work and when necessary at home too, it has every small utility, registry entry, and update i have ever needed for an XP install. Love it.... and glad this update has all the latest releases in it too. I so hope you continue your efforts with a Vista version as well, as this single app has literally halved my reinstall time.

Is there anyway to get IE7 to install but then validate after I have connected up to the net? (Similarly to WMP11)

I have tested out Nov Full on my VirtualPC system but did not include WGA. (However I will on my live system)

Bassically speaking I am not going to connect my machine up to the net until after I have ran AutoPatcher and installed av + fw. So will I not be able to to install IE7 until I have connected up?

Mat.

I think these versions of IE7 and WMP 11 don't need it.

jstern, funny. i've justed now my pt-br build to match with updates with the english official version, and msie7 asks nothing. ive just put an "Module:\IE7-WindowsXP-x86-ptb.exe" /quiet /update-no /norestart and it works fine, no asks done (and i've don't changed any piece of msie7 or wga). but to test, i've selected to install wga. and no asks done. for wmp11, it too install in silence, but to run it, you must validate it first. my string to install: "Module:\wmp11-windowsxp-x86-pt-br.exe" /q. official one: "Module:\wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.exe" /q:A /c:"setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /P:#e /DisallowSystemRestore /SetWMPAsDefault". just to be fair, i will run one test to see if that annoing validation is done by default with this one

edit: test done. seems that booth instalation options have the same result: user still needs click to validate at the first time that wmp11 runs. that isn't a problem at all. so, i keep my string. it's more simple.

and, by the way: framework 1.1 isn't listed by windows update for pt-br anymore. bitmonster seems not fit to pt-br or something else, so i've replaced it by dotnetfx11, langpack11 and NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe. now, everything is fine and notting remains on windows update (unless you have some sort of hardware listed in there, of course :cool: )

i'm uploading it (and will take at least 5-6 hours to finish), but it is unofficial. so...

Hey! New-B here. Just ran the November Full version on my W2k machine, and I have to say that I DO LOVE this software! I run a system with removable main-drives (to quickly change OS as needed) and because of experimentation, I'm frequently re-installing my OS's. As a general rule, I run either W2k, XP-Pro or Student. The wife has a store-bought that runs XP MediaCenter.

sorry if this has been covered, but I've searched diligently and haven't seen it. Can I safely use this software to update my wifes' XP Mediacenter os version?

I think I've figured out that the blue text means that the updates were already installed or detected on the system (is that right? ) -if I could suggest one thing, it would be a color-legend to interpret the different colors of the patching program. In any case, first time I ran it, it ran without a hitch. Nice work!

Thanks in advance!

Morning, Just found an issue and we are investigating further. Tested NovLite package on new HP and Acer units without a problem, however when run on a Toshiba A100-TA1 unit there is a problem with the IE7 update. Had no problems with validation such as was mentioned by others and seemed to install flawless. However the IE7 update does not seem to register properly within XP. There is no IE7 icon in the start menu and when you type in any address in the address bar in IE7 it returns an error "the requested lookup key was not found in any active activation context." This installation problem also prevents Norton AntiVirus 2007 from installing. As I mentioned this error does not occur in any other machine except this one Toshiba model (other A100 models TA2, TA4, SK8, tested ok) tested so far and did not occur with August Lite plus Sept and Oct updates followed by the MS IE7 install. This was duplicated on more than one unit of this type but was resolved by deselecting the IE7 update in the Nov Lite package and then installing IE7 after from the MS download.

Thanks

Keep up the awesome work.

inside of compressed (stored, in fact), you have 2 files. the exe himself and another txt with md5, if you wanna double check it. all files was checked for viruses by mcafee, DAT version 4909 (01/12/2006). it's an unofficial version, so, if you wanna wait for a official one, go ahead.

it have the same modules than english version, but it have some modifications:

installer:

if selected to put icons on desktop, it will put a uninstall icon too.

added:

kb926139: for translated versions, it changes kb id. it's 926140 (module renamed KB926139_40)

7zip (compactador freeware);

winrar 3.61 br (shareware);

foxit pdf reader: translation adapted to brazilian portuguese. keyboard shortcuts are not showed, just like english version. if you wanna correct some kind of mistaken translation, just pm;

unlocker 1.8.5

sun java 5 update 10

.net 1.1: added dotnetfx11 redist, langpack11, NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe. removed bitmonster build. now, you don't see .net 1.1 also an needed update at windows update, because it's now fully here. it installs at once if you select .net 1.1 to install

KB887472: needed if you don't select to install windows messenger 5.1

modules removed

==============================

google bar: unneeded

iespell: unneeded, unless you type in english

modules keeped

==============================

.net 2.0 framework: .net 3 already have .net 2, but if you don't install it, you may see .net 2 also an needed update at windows update. so, it stay here for now

modules not added

==============================

windows defender: it's still beta and it's in english. so, it doesn't belong to an pt-br system. but if you still wanna that, just need download it

KB925876: it doesn't fit for pt-br versions yet

changed:

autopatcher.exe v5.1.0.40

tweak undo.exe v1.0.0.1

autopatcher module editor.exe v2.0.0.7

note: some auto-selected modules are changed. mostelly, checked by default instalation of screensavers, themes and security

remaining things to update on windows update after install: today, nothing, unless you have some sort of hardware listed there.

but please be aware that this version does not contains any sort of cracks, wga bypasses and this kind of stuff and there's some updates that may require wga validation (like msie7 and wmp11). so, don't blame me if it isn't fully functional on generic windows...

[]s

Blaze, you are a legend! :D

Just a few notes though. You're missing Java update (as said), RDC6 (KB925876) (as said), and SyncToy 1.4. But since you included WIE7, WMP11 and WD and thereby made my reformat/reinstall time much shorter, I can forgive it to you... ;)

Just kidding, I'm most grateful for all this.

P. S. Which WIE7 is this? It's been said in Hotfix depot that M$ updated WIE7 a few times. And I guess this is updated WMP11? Just checking all this.
