Is autopatcher going to be updated for Windows 8?

It can be, with a little effort. I do however have great hatred for it as an OS though. To me it it worse then ME. If someone wants to pledge to a win8 script I can add in the support now(as in move it up the todo list) rather then later.

This won't hurt if autopatcher please add W8 to their updater software program, I know some people hate W8 is not so bad once you get used to it you know what to do. It took me nearly 3 weeks to get the completed feel of W8, because I've made a HUGE jump from XP Pro to W8 Pro as I've been using XP for to bloody long also Windows Blue (as W9) coming out in 2015 thought you like to know.

ViroMan, please consider this.. I have many customers at work using windows 8 and I waste so much time with the windows update.. It would save me many hours of works a week if aup had the feature to update windows 8..

Can you guys provide a list of needed updates?

I can add the code support since its rather simple but, a script can't be created without knowing what to put in it.

Please be aware that when supplying a list of fixes for Win8, AP is not setup to support adding hotfixes. In other words, if the fix is not available through WU, then that applies to AP too.

All those pictures boil down to this...

Spoiler
Your pictures had a lot of other updates that don't belong in a OS update script such as MS Office updates, .NET updates, and a few other things.

Granted those Office updates might be useful if someone were to take that list and make a script from it.

G'day ViroMan,

May I ask when will AutoPatcher be ready for W8 64bit available for update also did you know W8.1 will be coming out very soon, and this why I'm asking how it going so far and I know you don't like W8 when MS release W8.1 it will be like W7 having the start menu and some of the feature back into MS W8 just like a desktop computer without Metro crap.

It's nice to ask for a script release for Windows 8 but it will need someone willing to create and update... this can't be asked of the current maintainers as they already have enough on their plates.

What I am saying is that someone will need to step up to the plate and commit themselves to the release !!

ANY TAKERS --- Please step forward

I'd love to help but have no idea how to do it, though willing to learn if its not too steep a learning curve.

Otherwise I look forward to someone helping and having a Windows 8 update script.

The same goes for Office 2013 please.

Cheers

If info for Office 2010 is not readily available because not many have copies why would Office 2013 be any more available? All indications are the last real updates in AutoPatcher for Office were for Office 2003.

So is Autopatcher ready for Windows 8.1 when it comes out so all we need to do is write the script for it?

ViroMan's Photo ViroMan Today, 12:18 AM

when the detection for 8 is put in, I should also have 8.1 in.

Technically you can write the script & apms now if you wish.
