Im would just like to know the current status of the x64 release and a ETA if possible.

[Cristiano]

you say windows xp x64? according to the beta team members, it is ok, but it is still missing some updates. i hope that we will be able to fix it in a few days. but the one that is in charge of that release is too busy with job issues right now. i've asked about the missing updates to add them by myself. as soon i get the answer, in the next day the release will go public

thanks

Any new news on a public release date? Thanks.

Well, from what I gather there was progress being made but the maintainers have since disappeared I believe without
any detail so, it is uncertain at this point.

We have tried to get help for a few of the releases that are behind, it starts out good but once the reality of the level of
work involved becomes clear most volunteers simply don't have the time to dedicate - unfortunate but true...

> but the maintainers have since disappeared
yep. and the beta team, that could at least state the kbs that are missing don't say a single word. honestly, i can update that release fully blindly, but in order to this kind of update work, at least the users should care about and state what are missing. but no, the ones that should be doing that before the release go public aren't doing it

> don't have the time to dedicate
also true. and the few ones that still are working are overloaded due that. 2 days ago, i was able to sleep 3-4h only, because i had personal work to do. yesterday, i had more lucky: 5-6h tops. and yet, no time to myself. for today, i was suppose to see an movie with my girlfriend, but i simple can't do that, because i'm late with a lot of things. and worst: it may be fixed only at 13/06 (ddmm), when i will take some vacations (20 days, thanks God) from my daily-basis job. but i will do that only by one reason: it's too cold in here right now, i drive an bike and my bed us to look so warm in the mornings...

Hi all ... i simply hope in a new xp x64 release in a faster time ... Great Work.

my friend, i'm sorry to tell you, but seems that the xp x64 script will not back, because the ones that was doing that release given up this script (at least, seems that, because even pms they don't bother to answer anymore).

Hi, I'm gUiTaR_mIkE and I'll be your waiter tonight - How may I help you? - Sarcasm noted I hope.

Benjo, are you offering to update XP x64 at atleast for the moment - if so...

Run APUP - check XP x64 and download script - copy script to a safe place - get download links for Critical,
NonCritical, and Component apm files and download apm 7zs. Go thru the script and remove outdated links
- add new updates with links, size and md5 info - remove old apm files from said apm 7z files - create new
apm files with detection info from your test or deployment info from TechNet Security Bulletin for XP x64.

Add new apm files to appropriate 7z - get hash and size of new 7z, add info to script. Test your script and
report failure or success? We could use your help. It isn't really complicated just time consuming.

You could assemble a fully functional AutoPatcher release including the Extras by following this brief explanation,
with a little tweaking, all that would be missing is an Official status but your release would be as good as any other
if you look closely at the script(s) and apm file layout - give it a shot.

Hi ... in my Apup i cant' check XP x64 ... only x86 option for XP in my apup.
I'm not a Sofware King and i don't understand how help you.
But when i reinstall my test XP x64 s.o. i must re-download ALL the updates ... it's bad.

Benjo, I am the least technically minded person in this forum, if I could update a script anyone can.

About your issue. Apup may preselect 3 boxes for you, Updater, Engine, and the native OS, but you
should be able to uncheck whatever you don't want and check only the OS you want to download at
that moment - I'm not sure why you can't select XP x64 and proceed to download the release.

The XP x64 release is very much beta so there is some needed tweaking necessary to insure a reliable
release - why do you think we are asking for beta testers. We need people like yourself to test on an
x64 system.

Again, without looking at your log file it is a guessing game as to what the problems are you say
you are experiencing. Should you feel inclined to do so run apup.exe /log and post the log file in
here so we can have a look. Log Files - More Info

> I'm not sure why you can't select XP x64

I see, he can't see the release (it isn't an option). I thought he was given beta release list info based on
what was written - sorry, my mistake.

Unfortunately it probably wont be released, we don't have anyone to maintain and test. We thought we had someone
in place but they have not made contact with AutoPatcher. We can't force people to help - sorry.
