:D ... OK! You guys have won me over! :thumbup I'll keep the program individualised as it is, i won't go for the big all-inclusive packs, AP is one already. Its quite touching that you guys went into bat for the structure as it stands in the way that you did. I guess i'm maybe a wee bit too critical as it does what it says on the tin, more or less.

anyways, i have a build i want to release, but i'm going to do a few more tests, i dunno when the next version will be out. here's the proposed Module contents list (or see codebox below). Lots of changes, i'll work on the change-log in the meantime.

News - Jan 17:

* Drat! The bug that was inside MD's Cumulative Updater is now in my current build of Auto-Patcher! Woe is me, indeed. It snuck in under my guard, i'm so embarrassed. I should have assumed that it was an update inside CU that was causing the problem, and tried each time i added a new title to see if it was the culprit. Anyway, i only have a relatively short candidate list for the mastermind behind all of this, i shall announce who it was shortly. In the meantime, please feel free to place a bet on who it was. It is an update not in AP October but was going to be in December 2007 ... drum roll please ...

I've used the Maximus-Decim MDAC updater many times, though not recently because I got lazy and just hoped that whatever the Auto-Patcher installed would put whatever that stuff does onto the system properly. I've been a bit concerned that the 2.5 version is really supposed to be installed first as it includes components not part of 2.8. Maximus-Decim's MDAC updater included parts of the older version so we got the whole set of stuff when using it. I'm positive we're missing something when just installing MDAC 2.8. Not sure precisely which parts (used to know but it's been a long time and a lot of info that used to be part of my 98 knowledge now escapes me). So I consider Maximus-Decim's MDAC pack superior to just installing 2.8, if that is any indication of how his full updater does its thing.

...

Hi Eck,

There were components removed after MDAC 2.5 SP3.

Newer MDAC version download pages used to have notes about the missing stuff.

Here is a comparison of MDAC 2.5 SP3 and 2.8 SP1 with just the additional files in 2.5 SP3.

I have greyed out lines with files that are superceeded by OLE, Jet and other updates.

Those left are the unique MDAC 2.5 SP3 files.

Has anyone tried MDAC files from Windows XP SP2 in Windows 9x?

Some of the MDAC 2.5 SP3 unique files are also newer in XP SP2.

soporific, here are some ideas for additional stuff in AP:

------------------------------------------

DirectX 9.0c November 2007 Update

.NET Framework 2.0

.NET Framework 2.0 Updates:

- NDP20-KB917283-X86.exe

- NDP20-KB922770-X86.exe

.NET Framework 1.1 Updates:

- NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe

- ndp1.1sp1-kb925168-x86.exe

- NDP1.1sp1-KB928366-X86.exe

Twain 1.7.1.1 from Windows XP SP2

Sun Java 2 Runtime Environment 6.0 Update 3 (Unsupported but works better than Java 5.0 - me thinks anyway...)

------------------------------------------

I know, I know, I've mentioned most of this before, but I think it's good stuff for 9x.

I've been using the Twain files (TWAIN.DLL, TWAIN_32.DLL, TWUNK_16.EXE, TWUNK_32.EXE) from XP SP2 for two years.

They work great with scanners, cameras etc.

No one seems to have made an update package...

I'll look into this. See your PM about the Twain files.

NEWS - Jan 20:

* Well, after countless tests, PET scans, and brain biopsies, i've finally worked out what is going on. The problem i reported about AP failing to work after installing CU + RP --- well, it turns out i've been had a red herring leading me astray this whole time. I was looking for the update triggering the problem instead of trying to working out the CAUSE of the problem. The problem is related to the Environment Space fix for Auto-Patcher. For some reason, Revolutions Pack breaks the ability of Windows 98 to be able to set a SHELL command in CONFIG.SYS -- but only if a particular update is installed (which i still haven't found). I don't know what people who need to use the ES fix are going to do if they want to use RP, but at least i can tell people who can't start AP what to do.

More details soon after i run some more **** tests.

Yep, and that is why it was usually recommended to install MDAC 2.5 before the newer MDAC versions. Maximus-Decim took away the need to do that with his MDAC update pack, but now since just using Auto-Patcher for this stuff it is possible my systems miss the not-included components. But until something doesn't work I'm not too worried.

This time on my emulated 98SE I haven't bothered with Microsoft Works or Office stuff. I've got a full hard drive running Vista and Office 2007 Home and Student and OpenOffice.org, can't print on Virtualbox OSE because of no USB included, and really only am using 98SE to play with old stuff and some 9x games. I installed OpenOffice.org just to have a nicer word processor than wordpad. Less hassle than WorksSuite2005 and/or OfficeXP. On a real system I'd do WorksSuite and Office. Office installs usually add whatever MDAC stuff is missing.

Kinda silly installing the huge Microsoft Office suites on a system without access to a printer, and really slow NAT cable internet. So this stuff shouldn't matter much as long as I'm using 98SE virtualized this way.

Things will change again if I get up-ity and want a real 98SE with Direct 3D again. Never know with me! :) For now, it's Debian Lenny GNU/Linux and these other OS's.

Hi Saporific

Just used the Oct 2007 release to update a clean install on a P4 2GB RAM (edited System.ini to 512MB RAM)

Everything worked fine until the Media Player Module.

Then on the installation of KB920670 received an out of memory error and had to reboot the computer. Edited your batch file for the module to get round the problem (remarked the relevant lines out) Then got the same problem for KB923689 and KB936782. Had to edit lines out of the batch file after restarting computer to move on.

Then in Critical Security Update Module both OLEDBUp and KB926247 caused the same out of memory error as did OLEUP in the Critical and Recommended System Updates Module

Now I can't start AP to continue installation (Gives the same out of memory error message). I havn't got to RP7 so its not that, unless its due to a fix in that last module prior to the OLEUP.

Any Ideas as to whats going on?? and more importantly how to get it to work again??

Could you please post some detailed information about your hardware? I have a feeling such errors only come from OEM hardware such as Dell, Compaq, IBM, Fujitsu-Siemens, etc. I may always be wrong though...

Hi Saporific

Just used the Oct 2007 release to update a clean install on a P4 2GB RAM (edited System.ini to 512MB RAM)

Everything worked fine until the Media Player Module.

Then on the installation of KB920670 received an out of memory error and had to reboot the computer. Edited your batch file for the module to get round the problem (remarked the relevant lines out) Then got the same problem for KB923689 and KB936782. Had to edit lines out of the batch file after restarting computer to move on.

Then in Critical Security Update Module both OLEDBUp and KB926247 caused the same out of memory error as did OLEUP in the Critical and Recommended System Updates Module

Now I can't start AP to continue installation (Gives the same out of memory error message). I havn't got to RP7 so its not that, unless its due to a fix in that last module prior to the OLEUP.

Hey Niknak,

First thing i need to know is what exactly happens when you get the 'Out of Memory' error. The computer freezes? Crashes? What...

Its strange, I have been getting some if those messages during testing the new release but it doesn't seem to affect anything crucial and they never appear in the same location when testing. I get the message, but everything continues as normal. This doesn't seem to be whats happening to you. Can you please elaborate on what's happening. Can you also PM me the contents of your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files. I would also like to see your auto-patcher log file, this will tell me lots. Thanks.

Its homemade Just over three years old

P4. Gigabyte 8IG1000. 2GB RAM. LG CDDVD. FDD. Int USB2 Hub. Int Multislots drive bay. Iomega zip 250. Lian li case. Tagan 480W PSU. Gainward FX5900XT AGP card

Hardrive in mobile rack (Maxtor 120GB)

Works well with XP and W2k. Worked well to start with under Win 98 SE got worse with the install of AP only thing on the install was the chipset drivers and NUSB 3.3 Vid card Win 98 drivers can be tempermental but thats for another thread (Drivers not installed until final lockout from AP)

AP is totally locked. Rest of the O/S seems normal, the error message is similar to a vcache problem. So I will change the system.ini settings to see if that makes a difference later today.

No, only AP freezes once you say yes on error box rest of the system is accessible. Prior to the last OLEUP fix a reboot made AP accessible again.

Will up rest later I need to get some rest and there on another hard drive. Though config and autoexec are default only changes are in system.ini those were minimal to get win98se to work.

Again I will adjust vcache settings to see if that makes a difference.

Thanks for prompt response.

Just confirming:

* you get error messages you have to click thru

* you are not getting a message within the DOS box informing you that an application could not be run because there was not enough memory - you don't have to click anything, its just a message in the DOS box.

please let me know if i'm wrong.

Try adjusting the SYSTEM.INI settings, and if that doesn't allow you to run AP, can you install the unofficial 'Out of Memory' hotfix and see if that changes anything. You can uninstall it after if you wish.

Sop.
