Just wanted to thank everyone involved. Wonderful program, it gets used very often and it always works great. I'm always redoing or updating one of my many PC's. Long live XP!

[Cristiano]

ok guys, the bug with minimize to tray in the latest beta was found and fixed. this version also has implemented in it not only KIS's fix - but also - resizable window + fix for wrong 'Date' field displaying in ListView control. the download link remains the same. if stable enough, this version will do until the version with proxy + curl be ready. but for now, the really urgent issue was fix apup for kas 2010

suggestions and bug reports (if any) please

thanks

@Anyone

For some unknown reason one of the last few edits to the XP SP3 script has caused my release to show as Unofficial with no
errors, so, if someone would be nice enough to run this md5 against the latest Official XP SP3 release (Oct. 19, 2009) - I would
greatly appreciate it. If for some reason all 553 files check it means I must be missing something, in this case I will need to run
your md5 ( ) against my release - thanks in advance.

[dfdff3000]

My downloaded release has been showing as Unofficial for the past couple of days as well. Unfortunately, I was working all day the 19th - so the last Official release I have is from the evening of the 18th. I checked gUiTaR_mIkE's MD5 against my last official release (as well as checking my own unofficial release against my official one) and the only mismatch that I'm showing with both is:
XP.SP3\xp_sp3_enu.rti.

And, of course, my official release is missing the modules that Cristiano edited on the 19th:
XP.SP3\modules\Critical\KB969059_xp_x86_enu.apm
XP.SP3\modules\Critical\KB974571_xp_x86_enu.apm

So, short story long .. difference between gUiTaR_mIkE's MD5 against mine:
XP.SP3\apup.log, unreadable as was expected
XP.SP3\apupbetarc1.exe, unreadable as was expected since I haven't tried the new betas yet
XP.SP3\apupbetarc3.exe, unreadable as was expected since I haven't tired the new betas yet
XP.SP3\modules\Critical\KB969059_xp_x86_enu.apm, unreadable since it hadn't been updated yet
XP.SP3\modules\Critical\KB974571_xp_x86_enu.apm, unreadable since it hadn't been updated yet
XP.SP3\no.selections.aaf, unreadable and I have no clue what this is

[_def_x_]

Man, I'm sorry ( ), I forgot about the extra files - they wont make the release Unofficial but
they will screw up trying to find the problem in my release, so...

ignore these 4 files - whatever the error message with your md5 program...

...XP.SP3\apup.log - my log file
...XP.SP3\apupbetarc1.exe - apupbeta release candidate 1
...XP.SP3\apupbetarc3.exe - apupbeta release candidate 3
...XP.SP3\no.selections.aaf - my answer file

[Cristiano]

mike, i don't know for sure. i have every folder that you have in here. i will do an full download test to match with an downloaded version, because i may have forgot some rogue file/folder in here, but attached is the md5 from the enu script only. can you please take a look into about, version, to be sure about with release is showing also unofficial?

thanks

...Regarding post 290 below:
Since my md5 seemed to pass at your end, if your release is official and is based off the latest XP SP3 script, you
could have created an .md5 and posted it and when I ran it, the missing / bad file(s) should get tagged.

ok, no problem. i still have about 150MB more to download until the download test finish. now, i must have some dinner. after all, it's almost midnight and i didn't eat yet

I found this while looking through autopatcher_xp_sp3_enu_20091019.script - at the very least I would guess the .NET Framework 1.1
update would need to be moved to the NonCritical downloads section of the script?

[Cristiano]

> KB923789
this one isn't required at all, since the flash player update has replaced this one ages ago. but, in order to do that, the flash player from extras should be added into the main releases, as critical. and this is kinda tricky to do, if the releases are like the current version of the enu scripts are.

> KB925168
this one should be in the .net package, as any other .net package. after all, this one isn't even critical. but, in order to do that and this is kinda tricky to do. in meantime, that was already moved to the proper section and the script will be signed as soon i be able to bypass my user restrictions in this machine. it is so hard to do that will take one minute or 2

[Cristiano]

ok, done. the script shall show as official right now, since the issue was at my side. but still, there's some things that i'm tracking, but i can't do that from this machine

No, my release is still Unofficial and nothing really changed in the script that would alter a release - at least not for me.

The new APUP downloaded from the APUP script and there was a new .rti file - that's all I see. I ran my old md5 and the only
2 files that were a mismatch were the .rti and apup.exe.

BTW, did you do something different with the latest script, I opened it in notepad and it was gibberish, as if you encrypted it,
assigned new attributes, or opened an executable file as a text file - is this the new way of doing things?

APUP.Scripts.In.Notepad! - if you are using a new program to create and edit the scripts, what is it, and are you assigning new
attributes to the scripts?


Anyway, please, if someone has an Official XP SP3 release downloaded from the most recent script could you please create an md5
of the \modules folder and upload it to the forums. I should know in a moment what the problem is but I need an md5 from an Official
package for it to work

[click-click]

After doing some cross checking, I have found 2 hotfixes that supposedly replace 2 previous fixes. I only see the older fixes in Autopatcher. Were these missed or left out on purpose?

KB968537 replaced by hotfix KB972483
KB970653 replaced by hotfix KB974176

Thanks

[Cristiano]

> if you are using a new program to create and edit the scripts, what is it, and are you assigning new attributes to the scripts?
this may be an error in the upload process. in local mode, the file is still fine, take a look:


also, another weird thing: i've downloaded that file and it seems normal

by the way, i only choose notepad for it and i don't change any attributes when uploading. as for the ftp tool, i'm running filezilla.

> KB968537 replaced by hotfix KB972483
weird. the catalog doesn't state that. and KB972483 is an update that must be requested to ms and, due the nature of the distribution (encripted with password that changes in a few days), we can't include that

KB970653 replaced by hotfix KB974176
same as above

in meantime, i will re-upload the script file to see if this issue relies on that file. i've also added an file named md5_checksum_for_AutoPatcher_XP_ENU.md5 into the script, that shall help track this issue. in meantime, i also will do an clean download to check for errors

sorry folks, but my ic is worst than dial-up right now.it may be related to some guys that are changing something in the cables in front of my home, i don't know. i will let it downloading, but if someone can take an md5 from his own autopatcher folder, could be nice

thanks

[Cristiano]

ok. since my ic had an major slowdown and my isp (Oi - former know as Brasil Telecom) says that there's nothing wrong (and they are laying, the international link is overloaded again), i had to resume the download test to the latest updates, by removing everything since # 2009-10-17 and the xp enu still shows also official. now, my ic is still crawling, but at least it is having spasms of 25K, that is far better than the 4-5 that i was having a few hours ago and that toke me several hours to download 32mb, i'm doing an full download test, but the end of this download may take something like 5h at this download rate. impressive. 5h to download just 232Mb... thanks OI

> i'm glad I don't live in Brazil
isn't bad, you know. there's only a few problems, like the politicians and certain ferengi companies. telefonica (also know around here as "telecômica" or, in a close translation "teleclawn") isn't better. so far i know, the only telecom that works in here is GVT, but this one is about the be sell to telefonica, despite Vivendi efforts. but i still have high hopes for Vivendi. maybe this one give some better answer than the one that Oi give me today, when i called them to complain about the download rates "mr, it's sunday... everybody is on internet high now and the website that you are trying to visit may be overloaded". ok, the international link of them has nothing to do with this issue and ms has only one 486 serving the entire globe with an shared link of 56K or so...

but finally the download come to an end. still, the xp enu script shows also official, even downloading from zero. but this doesn't mean too much, since an broken command or even an forgotten module may be creating this issue. but in order to track it, i must compare the entire content of an apup folder that is having this unofficial issue to mine. i'm saving one copy of the download test that i did into one portable device, that shall allow me track this issue as soon that someone present one md5 from the entire content of apup folder

now, sleep mode...
