AutoPatcher Forum

Hi All Autopatcher users.

I think we must start a topic to list all current problems and bugs. We can also link them to the topic link/discussion, for more in deep view of the problem.

This will make it easier for users to track current progress and also to see which problems have been fixed.

Great idea Rudy!

Great Idea...

I found a bug in the version of APUP.

I have once completed the update of Autopatcher with the first APUP.

Now when i want to update it again, i downloaded the latest version of apup on 18 Nov and found that it stuck on the welcome screen, displaying all the patches...




And the old one still works...

The more updates you have, the longer it takes to calculate. However, to me it does seem that the old one did it a little faster.............

after i have downloaded all the patches for wirdows xp english x86 i recheck for updates via apup, but after selecting the xp x86 it keeps downloading dotnetfx.exe this is happening every time i select windows xp english x86. but the file is stored in the components folder. also dotnetfx foes not appear when running the update installer.

I'll take a look at the script to check what is wrong with it.

Can anyone download it and check it's file size and MD5 hash, please?
dotnetfx.exe


About the list of bugs:
1. Antonis is already aware and is going to check what's wrong with APUP;
5. Visual bugs aren't really important now, since they don't mess with APUP script handling;
7. It says that because now the scripts are only downloaded after you choose them, instead of downloading all of them before you choose which you want to download. I suggested Antonis to remove that column and add a 2nd window which then would have the selected versions and the respective download sizes;
8. I need one confirmation (it's in the beginning of this post);
9. It works that way to avoid downloading every time scripts that you may not want. It also reduce traffic to our server (it will be important after all the versions are ready. To complement that, we are thinking of making the download of the apm files easier: all in one compressed file).

the above links seems to be broken.

the Md5 sum i got was:

52456ac39bbb4640930d155c15160556

Why the hell IPB changes the links?

That explains it, I have a different hash: C07C8654D0240F6118F3E69F836707EA. I'll download it tomorrow and check the "new" file.

Already fixed. Hope that now the problem is fixed.

failed verification error message.

i am downloading updates for windows X86 English the beta v2.2 and get a verification error message the file is KB917013_xp_86.apm from www.autopatcher.com

samee, on Nov 21 2007, 07:53 PM, said:

Yip, i also get this error !!

There is no such file in English version...

The portion of the script for IE7 is missing the name of the executable

Here is what is in the script:
-----------------
Item=Internet Explorer 7 Update

DetectFile=autopatcher:\modules\Components\IE7_xp_x86_enu.apm_files
DetectHash=EA16789F6FC1D2523F704E8F9AFBE906

ExpectedSize=15452536
ExpectedHash=EA16789F6FC1D2523F704E8F9AFBE906
-------------------------
Need to add "IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe" at the end of DetectHash and DownloadTo

^ Thanks! I don't know how i missed that.

i get a verification error message on the following file:

__dotnet.apm from www.autopatcher.com

in windows xp 86 english

That file wasn't changed. I've been uploading new versions of the scripts, that might changed something. Try now.

i have tried it again and the same problem occurs. failed verification error. this happens after dotnetfx has been downloaded.

.NET 1.1 was fixed. Try again and see what happens.

thanks i can now download and get past the dotnetfx download and continue to other downloads. thanks for your help
