AutoPatcher Forum

Hi everybody, especially Cristiano, it's Bil3 from New Zealand, best wishes to you all.

Decided to do some computer work, now winters here, so please help with some advice that I can follow, as I am only an amateur tech, and do a lot of things parrot fashion.

First, the computer I am using at present is an AMD XP2000, with XP SP2, that I am going to rebuild and reinstall XP SP3, to upddate, and keep as a backup computer.

I decided to update my AutoP XP3 Jan 12 to AutoP XP3 Jun 12. ready to reinstall ... log file attached ..... see bottom of page. Unfortunately, after I had updated my AutoP XP3 Jan 12, and needed to run Apup again, because some files had not downloaded properly, I ran into " Error Fetching Releases "

Firstly I noticed that a new apup has been installed into its own folder, and the old apup has been suffixed .old, so it does not work anymore .... that's OK an update. This is the log file :-

APUP Has Started
Version: 1.3

Operating System: English (1033) Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2
Current Locale: English - New Zealand / Non-Unicode Default: English - New Zealand
Starting APUP From: D:\Bills Stuff\Software\AutoP XP3 Jun 12\apup
Date & Time: 21-Jun-2012 08:30 UTC Offset: 12

***Downloading/Processing Releases.list***

List file HTTP location: http://www.autopatch...m/releases.list
Error running curl. Command: "D:\Bills Stuff\Software\AutoP XP3 Jun 12\apup\apup_bin\curl.exe" http://www.autopatch...m/releases.list -o "D:\Bills Stuff\Software\AutoP XP3 Jun 12\apup\temp_bin\releases.list"
Return code: 7
Description: Failed to connect to host.

I would be very gratful for some simple instructions to cure this problem. I have browsed around, and found a lot of other people have this problem, but not return code 7, and I cannot understand explanations of how to solve the proxy problem.

Thanks Bil3

Well I tried to attach the file but it will not attach, please advise.

it might have been a temporary glitch in receiving the file. Try again. now that its been a few hours.

The .old should have been deleted you seem to have run into a delete error or it was unable to upgrade your apup to the newer version. delete the .old file and see if you can update apup again if the release.list downloads.

BTW your on Service Pack 2 you NEED SP3 in order to use the updates from the XP x86 script.

edit:

If you still have downloading issues, the next step is to see if your firewall or Anti-Virus is blocking "curl.exe" from downloading or from being run by apup.

Hi everybody.
I am new to the forum but a loyal follower and user of autopatcher for a few years now.
I tried today to make an update to autopatcher and always run to some problems downloading the new releases.

I am attaching 2 log files for everyone to have a look and if possible to help me resolve the problems.

Thanks in advance for any help

PS the pc i am trying to do the update is running Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 (build 2600) and the processor is 2.40 gigahertz Intel Core 2 Duo
64 kilobyte primary memory cache
4096 kilobyte secondary memory cache
64-bit ready
Multi-core (2 total)

 1st log of apup.txt (231.67K)
downloads: 1
 2nd log of apup.txt (89.31K)
downloads: 3

First things first.... the older apup can not handle that many downloads at once(usually)... try 2-4 scripts.

From what I see you only had 2 errors and they were due to the fact that the scripts point to older files that are no longer on the server. That will be fixed...hopefully soon.

Thank you Viroman for your reply. I will try again as per your suggestion. And hopefully the other problem will be fixed.

Please be patient until tomorrow... I'll update XP releases.

Windows XP SP3 release is updated. New script has date 20120612 (June Patch Day).

thx.

The reason for receiving the error is that KB890830 has been updated by Microsoft to 4.10.
The scrips are yet to be updated to download the latestest version, but instead are trying the June version of the file.
The scripts will be updated soon by the release maintainers and notifications should be posted once done.
Hope that helps you out

thank you for reply..

so basicaly i just wait till the dev updating the script right? or is there something i can do in my side?

once again thank for reply.

The release maintainer will post updated script as soon as when they have tested and completed the release.
As you may have read all the release maintainers do this as a voluntary service and have lives outside of the project, therefore depending on their spare time to so we need to wait for updated scripts.

indeed... domenico is quite busy atm and I am in the process of moving... so ya... no time. Click Click maintainer of the dotnet script and whatacrock are the only ones around right now.

I might be able to update a script or two today if I get all my packing done.
