ALL OF THIS FROM ONE EXECUTABLE CALLED FROM GUIRUNONCE! stop wasting time!! go there now! www.autopatcher.com

[Custanius]

and still, you will have to have internet connection and have to download those files, i still prefer the old way.........

[gosh]

Oh god, autopatcher. It's one of those programs for people that read those "windows for dummies" books. If you don't have a clue about windows then use it. If you care what you are doing then learn how to properly make an unattended cd - that's the whole point of this site.

-gosh

[edmoncu]

i dunno if what i heard were just rumors, but i think autopatcher contains some adware proggys.

[n00b]

i dunno if what i heard were just rumors, but i think autopatcher contains some adware proggys.

MSN Plus! contains adware, but if you look at the switches it's specifically set to NOT install it.

AutoPatcher XP has a Lite and UltraLite version, you can use it if you don't want the 3rd party software (which is pretty much useless IMO) and the regtweaks (again, unneeded IMO)

[Alanoll]

I"m with gosh on this one. Also, I should point out, if I were having a bad day, I may just have deleted thsi thread.

There are already many threads on Autopatcher. Most of which get discarded by people because they do prefer to learn to do it the "hard" way and learn. You're just cheating yourself. Besides teh SVCPACK.INF way is the way Microsoft describes how to perform the installs. It also makes sure you have a fully updated install at first startup rather then having it exposed untill GUIRunOnce is run, and then the system restarted again.

[mukeshnuna]

well....tht wud be the easiest way to install almost everything...but then wy wud people come here to learn the secrets they r learning now...!

n how wud one become expert without going thru those circumstances...!

everyone competes in this world...no matter who they r!

so why can't we???

let's see........but yeah.....i m also with gosh ...alanoll....!

[enuffsaid]

I beat him to it by 2 months here

...and it wasn't news then.

[Alanoll]

yeah, I remember a post from even LONGER ago.

I just wish didn't type like this:

I wuz her 4 a reson. R u her 2?

Just little abbreviations thigns like that. hint hint. THey're just annoying as hell.

[Test Zero]

and still, you will have to have internet connection

Not while it installs, you don't.

[RyanVM]

My favorite part is how it installs both Windows Messenger and MSN Messenger. And how it installs all the updates to the MS JVM only to remove the JVM later on. Seriously, it seems like the creators put zilch for thought into this.

[Sunil]

First thing

Autopatcher does not have the ability to install custom tools, albeit winrar etc.

Second thing

way too big and redundant

Just a few thoughts on a waste of time tool

First thing:

Make your own DB. DB editor's coming soon

Second thing:

That's why there's UltraLite and Lite edition.

[dtmunir]

ok....i agrree autopatcher may be a lil attractive for TOTAL noobs! but u hv to realise one thing: the HUGE size of it is self defeating. the point is, everytime microsoft releases a new patch or there is a new build of WMP or direct x, u'll hv to re-download the huge file in its entirety. u say theres a lite version. well i say this: wt if i want all the things the full version has in it. this MSFN unattend method lets u hv the best of both worlds. i can CHOOSE wt i want, and i dont hv to re-download EVERYTHING. only wt i want updated

so there

my 2 cents

peace

[Alanoll]

If you are going to learn to do an unattended install the cheap and easy way, then you might as well go over to their site.

I mean, here, people try to do it the right way.

Besides Autopatcher being bloatware, and highly to overated, it leaves the system vulnerable for a good hour or so. On a broadband connection, that will kill the machine leading to another format.

Besides, why would you use a package that someone could very well have slipped something into without you knowing it. Not saying they would, but with the offical Microsoft updates, there isn't a question. XPCreate, you can easily see the source code. XPlode, heading in the open source direction. Autopatcher, never going.
