Hello Jimmy,

FAQ is out of date which is on my to-do list to update. AutoPatcher doesn't work on a network share currenlty.

Hi,

AP sort of works via a network but some of the hotfixes and other items will fail to install (often for strange and inexplicable reasons).

I run AP from the following .CMD file (placed into the AP root folder) and this helps a bit:

Quote

@echo off
setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion
pushd %~dp0
autopatcher.exe /nolicense /verbose /log /report /neverselectinstalled
popd

It might work better of you make a share using a drive letter (e.g Z:) to point to your AP network install.

Be prepared for things to fail to install though :/ Unless you have a super fast network this will also be a slow way to use AP.

Installing from a DVD or an external hard drive seems to be the best way to use AP at this time.

Kind Regards

Simon

I have two methods: at home I have all of the AP files on a NAS, then run it over my gigabit LAN to install on 5 computers. At work, I have one "server" (really just a desktop) and ~180 other computers which check for new files on the "server" by looking at the date, and grabbing new files at midnight. Then at 3AM (our computers do not go off at night) they have a scheduled task to run AP with command-line switches to install all critical and recommended updates that are not already installed.
