Re: APUP 1.5

@older-than-dirt --- KB3077715 is an orphaned module, a straggler that was missed. This has been rectified now. You need to re-download the release. There has been discussion about renaming the different version of autopatcher so they can coexist in the same directory, mostly by ChrisJ, an certain ...

Re: APUP 1.5

So, I guess I spoke a little too soon. I'm seeing 2 things: 1) It seems that the apup.exe file is deleted after I run Autopatcher v6.1.40. This isn't a big deal, I just copy one back into the directory and it works. Very strange, but I've confirmed this a number of times. After apup exe completes th...

Re: APUP 1.5

"awww no feedback. Makes me sad." Thank you for 1.5!! - Works like a charm. I was one of the ones that still can't run the 6.1 in a VM and have it write to a shared folder, so I was just able to try it. I just used it for win 8.1 and ran AP 6.1.40 against it and it came back official - loo...

Re: Autopatcher v6.1 beta

Let me start with that I appreciate AP, however this is a day that I've been sort of dreading.. I don't even know where to begin.. Okay, originally I used APUP in a XP VM and ran it from a shared folder under VMWare Workstation (11.1). File permissions have always been an issue, but in the past I al...

Re: Autopatcher v6.1 beta (sweeper issue?)

I'm not sure where to report this. I have AP 6.1.32, have a XP SP3 & XP Sp2/64 module updates and after updating, status is unofficial. Run sweeper (2.0) and it wants to delete everything in the translations directory to make it official. If I allow it to do this, of course, AP won't run (someth...

Re: Blacklist not working correctly

Thanks for looking into this. I'm probably going to wait for the changes in detection stuff in .36->.37->.38 to settle down before testing this. I'll start using .32 with the knowledge that the blacklist stuff isn't working, but I've lived without it for the past 7 years or so, so I don't think wait...

Re: Microsoft Re-Issues Windows 7 Updates Forcing Windows 10 Upgrade, Enabling Data Collection

Not a problem. Hopefully they'll build upon current functionality and provide something that would work the way I described earlier.

Re: Microsoft Re-Issues Windows 7 Updates Forcing Windows 10 Upgrade, Enabling Data Collection

I just checked out AP6. The feature is there, but it doesn't appear to be working. I can right-click and select "hide" and the entry is greyed out, but: 1) after being greyed out, I would expect to not be able to select it. (i.e. I can still set the checkmark). 2) when I select it's parent...

Re: Question for vista users

wait... I thought it was possible to force load many vista drivers on win7 as long as the driver was 32bit and the win7 was 32bit. The problem isn't that I can't get them to install under win7/32, the problem is that they don't work after they're installed. In particular the internal speakers don't...
