AutoPatcher Forum

When I run the the updater it shows the extras addon pack 24 Feb 2009. Is there a newer one?

Is there something missing or outdated in the Extras script?

Mike

Flash player is not showing up.

Cristiano updated the script a few days ago, but to double-check I looked at the latest script as well removed both
flash files. The script downloads both flash and flash active-x - v10.0.22.87.

Black Ghost, can you state your OS?

thanks

Vista ultimate Sp2 RC version 286

it is x86 or x64? the flash player module has the following limitations:
WindowsVersion=2K,XP_X86,2K3_X86,VISTA_X86,LHSERVER

the not IE version has the same limitations and also the shockwave module. if you are running an x64 version, that can explain the issue that you are having. it may also be related to the sp2 RC, because they may have changed something in that one that may prevent this module from load, but i'm not sure

I am running x86. You could be right on there might be a change in Sp2 RC.

Black Ghost, can you try something, just to be sure? take a look at apup\modules\AddOns\flashplayer_IE_x86.apm . you can open that file with notepad or any text editor that works with plain text. then, look for this:
WindowsVersion=2K,XP_X86,2K3_X86,VISTA_X86,LHSERVER

and replace it with this:
WindowsVersion=2K,XP_X86,2K3_X86,VISTA,LHSERVER

or even this:
WindowsVersion=ANY

the first one will remove the limitation for the x64 (this doesn't means that flash player will install in x64 systems). the ANY will open this module to any OS. please, on tests, do one first, then another and just do the replacements with autopatcher closed. this will make your autopatcher unofficial, so please, do it for test purposes only.

if this module loads after any of those changes, please reply

thanks

I did with WindowsVersion=ANY and that worked but that was just for IE. I use Fire Fox as my mine one. Is that to show too?

I would do the same edit to "flashplayer_notIE_x86.apm" - and followup with a reply as Cristiano suggested.

This is what it showed on both before I made the change.

WindowsVersion=2K,XP_X86,2K3_X86

After I have made the change to both they both show up now.

I'm sure this information will prove helpful, thanks for the report back.

Anytime.

weird, very weird. the extras module are in this file. i'm behind an corporate firewall right now and i can't upload anything for several hours, so take a look on that modules. that file has the following md5:
5f2c77669653af0ecbbb508f90435d68

that doesn't match with the expected md5: D165A45C53C2A8C0EED17ECC632F566D

but it has the following limitations:
WindowsVersion=2K,XP_X86,2K3_X86,VISTA_X86,LHSERVER
SystemLanguage=ANY

so it should be loaded into vista. plus, the md5 for the ___windows_extras_0812.7z matches with the expected one:
EA80CE9D0EF4A745CC6EE3F1D94ED10C

so, 2 possible issues:
1 - the wrong md5 that flashplayer_IE_x86.apm has is matching with the one that you have (that wasn't loading into vista) and, because of that, apup isn't downloading the new file, creating this issue

2 - webcache. but this one is less provable. the only one that i know that it's badly done are the ones from BRT

can you do just another test? just delete those files and run apup again. it will then download the new files. after that, just look if the module is loading.

but i'm pretty sure that the md5 from that file is from the old version...

thanks

I deleted the add-ons folder and redownloaded them and that worked. All that needs to be updated now is Adobe Reader.
