Yes I have the same problem and the cause is in fact the autopatcher engine is not being unziped. I tried to run with the log switch but it did not show what the error was after researching some more I looked at the apengine.script and noticed that the apengine_exe.zip was not being unziped and then deleted. I also found that the other files that need to be unziped apengine_lng.zip, apengine_bin.zip, are also not being unziped they are being download just fine if you manual unzip them in the directory they are in and run apup with out the engine selected all will be fine.

In your case Dolivas, you are missing uz.exe in the rt folder. Make sure to download the newest version of APUP and update everything including the RT folder. The program uz.exe is short for "UnZip" =)

Edit: Erik beat me to the post so please ignore/delete this one.

Off topic: (temporary) 100th post!

Nope the file is there and I just download it this evening. Trust me there is a problem with the UnZip feature. Just so you know I checked the MD5 and it matches.

My results are exactly the same.

Files download, but apup crashes w/ runtime zero error.

I then manually unzipped files and autopatcher worked fine.

Hey...

I just found out about this software and it sure does look amazing... But unfortunatelly it's not working for me... I downloaded from the link in this post (today is 11/29/2007) and decompressed it... When I run apup.exe I deselect the Office stuff and let only the engine and portuguese release selected...

When I click Next I see some files being created on the software directory and then the program just stops... The 'Next' button is disabled and the only thing I can do is click on 'Exit'... I tried waiting but theres no CPU or network activity... The program just stops working...

Here is the log:

AutoPatcher Updater starting.
List file HTTP location: http://www.autopatcher.com/releases.list
Download queue status: 1 files waiting.
releases.list: Download complete.
Download queue status: 0 files waiting.
Download queue status: 2 files waiting.
autopatcher_xp_x86_ptg_nov07.script: Download complete.
Download queue status: 1 files waiting.

--- Edit:
Ok, it started worked somehow... The problem now is that it usually downloads 1 or 2 files and stops again... I need to restart it every time... Pretty annoying...
Edited by trojahn, 29 November 2007 - 05:13 PM.

trojahn, that's a known bug and they are working on it. Also, if you have any problems with the Portuguese release itself (not the program as a whole) then I think you should post it in the AutoPatcher Português forum here.

Now I delete the folder, redownload and run it, and immediately get a Runtime Error 0.

Anxiously awaiting the next beta!
Edited by DiGiTAL SkReAM, 29 November 2007 - 11:30 PM.

I'm getting the Runtime Error 0 when I try to download the updater engine. It downloads apengine.script but as soon as the file shows up in the folder, I get the error. I'm getting the same error on two machines, one running XP-Pro, the other one running Vista. So far, the other modules are downloading ok, as long as I don't try to download the updater engine.

I'm also getting Runtime Error 0 when I try to download the updater engine. I also have trouble downloading the updates for Windows XP (x86). Somewhere along the way the download progress stops. If I try to restart apup and resume the update progress I get the runtime error 0.

I did have a go at rewritting apup as a python script it seems to work ok for the releases I tried (AutoPatcher Engine 5.6.81 + UZ and AutoPatcher for Windows XP (x86) - Beta v3.3). If anyones want's to try it out here it is:

Just put that into filename.py and run it from a command prompt (Requires python to be installed though.)

Brilliant news - welcome back.

Just waits at the selection screen...keeps showing Calculating in front of 3 things I selected - engine, win xp 3.3 and office 2007. And then runtime error '0'.

Waiting for a bug free release.

Navjot Singh, on Dec 1 2007, 01:53 AM, said:

I have just about the same issue. Updater starts...if the Engine is selected (I have the newest already) I immediately get runtime Error 0. If I do not select the 'Engine', but only XP Updates and then click 'Next' , the program begins running but after approximately 35 Megs (of a reported 497 megs)just "stops"...

After a few still unsucessful reruns, then APUP won't even start again...no chance to run.! I have to delete any existing MODULES folder (& contents) and then APUP will happily again run! It would appear the (just a guess) a 'prior session' may leave some files incomplete and APUP does not handle that well at all.

As for the (stalling-point 1) I wonder if this is a busy/timing/retry issue related to the MS site just being very busy. etc.

Comments or?
Thanks

Renato,

I posted my apup.log in the winxp 32 bit section for your review. Hope it will help with the runtime error.

The entire post is quite long so I will just post the last few lines for you here:

As Rudy has been pointing out recently, all English scripts other than the one for the AP engine (which works for me but gives some a run-time error) seem to be working properly and should be considered "stable" in the near future, then released on the main page to the general public, nut just the early adopters, developers, and alpha/beta testers such as ourselves.

Added a new version. It should reduce the number of Run-time 0.

Renato, on Nov 9 2007, 06:32 AM, said:

After downloading this latest version, I selected the apup 1.0.3 list from the options, but the zip file that it downloads comes from http://www.autopatch...engine/apup.zip, which is not the same one as above. In addition, the version 1.0.3 has a different hash than the one which we download in the first post. What was changed between these two versions? As far as I can tell, they were both created on today (03/11/07).

A little question: an old Autopatcher backup can be restored or I must download all the patches again?

If so, in a future will be added a restore tool for old backups?

Thanks!

This only overwrites the updater, not the updates. Just run it from the same place that you had your old apup.exe file and you should continue from wherever you left off!

No, I didn't mean an old backup of the new apup..... I mean an old Autopatcher backup, "pre-Microsoft_pain_in_the_arse" How can I "recycle" them?
