AutoPatcher Forum

When setting up AutoPatcher on a new USB drive (as a more mobile version than my external hard drive), I accidentally selected Italian for Win2K3 SP2. As such, I now have Italian files scattered throughout the AutoPatcher directory. Unchecking that selection and re-running AutoPatcher did not remove those Italian files (Why not?), so I am looking to delete them safely. Can I just remove the actual HotFixes and the detection RTI files, or is there something more involved?

Sad to say... the way the original APUP was created... it would only delete things that the script tells it to delete. The next version of AP will delete anything not mentioned in APMs. Until then there is no way automatically remove files from another script that has been merged. sorry.

You will have to do it manually by yes deleting each file(APM, EXE, and RTI) that does not belong. That would be a hard and long task for sure.

I am working here and there on the original apup's code and since I have to get the same code(remove all files not listed) into the newer AP I would probably give it a try in apup first.

Long and hard task? Not really:

Search: *_ita.*
Shift-A
Shift-DELETE

Rinse and repeat for *_ita_*

ha... that simple ehh? I neglected to actually look at the Italian script. I assumed it was as ambiguous as some of the other scripts has been. Good I am happy it could be easily sorted out. Your situation has encouraged me however, to work on the code to auto delete things that should not be there. Plenty of the code already exists in reading RTI files... I will just modify a portion to delete things when found instead of logging them and then place that code into apup and add a check box in options to enable it.
