Mazabuka Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Ooh! A Question I can answer!<snip>Yes, you can uninstall it.Correct! 10 points and a purple flower stamp to you sir.I got this as a PM:I downloaded Win98SE AutoPatcher last night, installed it on my machine at home and then selected the "S" option from the the "AutoPatcher98 - CHOICE" dialogue, followed by the "M" option.On completion of the process, I expected to get a report that listed all the missing updates / patches on my o/s.Instead the process appeared to terminate abnormally and closed the Console window without displaying any error message (it's possible the Console window closed to quickly for me to read any error message that may have been output).On checking what folders and files had been created on my hard drive after the process had terminated, I found that two folders had been created, being "Markers" and "Save".In the Markers folder I found several files had been created, including one named "FoundUpd.txt". The contents of FoundUpd.txt were as follows =>The following updates were found to be installed:No files had been created in the Save folder.In addition, I also found a file named "Report.txt" had been created in one of the other folders (sorry I forgot to note the name of the folder in which this file was stored). The contents of Report.txt were as follows =>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Report for Auto-Patcher v1.95 Preview Release 2 generated on Tuesday, 27 March 2007 - the time is now: 2:03am - the most recent report is at the end of this log file. The following list of updates were not found on this computer:I then deleted the Markers and Save folders as well the Report.txt file, started AutoPatcher again and then tried to report missing updates / patches from one of the "Group" options. Again AutoPatcher appeared to terminate abnormally with exactly the same results as described earlier.At this stage I'm not sure if the problem I have is simply the fact that I do not understand how to use AutoPatcher, or worse there's something very weird about my SE configuration?For information, I currently have very few updates installed on my copy of Win 98SE. As I recall, I have the following updates installed:Ie6SP1 (no security patches)DirectX 9.0B (no security patches)Windows Media Player 9.0 (no security patches)MMC 1.2 XML 3.0What you are reporting is a bug. When you choose to make a report, it should finish searching and present a text file for you to read. It should not terminate unexpectedly. Things you can do:1) Inside the logs folder you should find a REPORT.TXT file that is created every time you make a report --- please find that file and post the EXACT contents to this thread. Also tell us what options you choose to make the report, and any info you can on when it terminates unexpectedly I already did - the 5 lines of blue text below represent the entire content of REPORT.TXT => ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Report for Auto-Patcher v1.95 Preview Release 2 generated on Tuesday, 27 March 2007 - the time is now: 2:03am - the most recent report is at the end of this log file. The following list of updates were not found on this computer:2) Turn debugging on. In the Start Menu shortcut folder that is created when you install Auto-Patcher (AP) there is an icon that will turn it on for you. This will greatly help tell us WHERE the problem occurred. Start the report process as normal, then when it terminates, look for the DEBUG.TXT file this is created in the logs directory and post that to this thread. I tried this - the results were exactly the same as above in point 1) meaning that the file REPORT.TXT was created instead of DEBUG.TXT?3) try to only search through the first module - the stability hotfixes module - and see what the result is with that I tried this - the results were exactly the same as above in point 1) - I tested each module individuallyMore info: the save folder is where your module choices are stored. The markers folder is where all the files that AP needs to work each session are stored. If you use debugging, this information is stored in the log file. The FoundUpd.txt file is a temporary file that stores the list of updates found and at the very end, the list is copied to the main log file. Since you never make it to the end, this info never makes it to the Report.txt file. The problem I have seems to be related to the amount of environment space I have configured on SE. By default, my SE configures 1504 bytes of environment space on bootup. If I insert the following shell command in config.sys "shell=c:\command.com c:\ /e:2048 /p", my environment space increases to 3088 bytes on bootup and the reporting system works perfectly! This does not make sense to me because I note that you dynamically allocate environment space within each batch file, and I would expect that you have sized the allocations appropriately?Having got the reporting system to work successfully, I then proceeded to install the fixes in the Stability Module. Phase I of the installation appeared to proceed without any problems. However, when phase II of the installation started after the reboot, two error different error messages were displayed, viz.:i) "out of environment space"ii) "- the above title started to loop thru installations and so was not installed again"Whilst I understood the first error message, the second one was too cryptic for me to comprehend.As a consequence of receiving the two error messages, I was concerned that the some of the fixes in the Stability Module may not have been installed correctly, or not at all. I thus manually checked that each fix had been installed correctly, which to my surprise was the case.I then got a little bolder and proceeded to install the MDAC updates and patches. Again phase I appeared to proceed without any problems, whilst phase II resulted in the same error messages that I got with the installation of the Stability Module patches being displayed after each reboot .Compared to the Stability Module, it is a lot more difficult to manually confirm that the MDAC updates and patches have been installed correctly. Having looked at a report I generated using PC Mag's "Inctrl" tool, which showed "all" changes that had been made to my Registry as well to the files and folders on my hard drive as a result of the installation of MDAC, my gut feel is that the MDAC updates and patches have been installed correctly.Fyi, to check my environment space, I also made use of another PC Mag tool, called "Strings" which you might find very useful. It contains +- 70 string type functions specifically designed for use in batch files. If you are interested in reviewing the functionality of either Inctrl or Strings, these two tools are freely available from many sites on the web - search for "inctrl5.zip" and "string25.zip" respectively.

Can you not find DEBUG.TXT when you use debugging? This may still help us although i think the problem lies with your system rather than the program (although I plan to include any code that will fix this problem).he problem I have seems to be related to the amount of environment space I have configured on SE.Are you saying you have specifically configured your OS to use a certain amount of environment space (ES)? Or are you reporting the default ES that Windows allocates... You are correct when you say that it doesn't make sense that you are having ES problems because I DO set the amount of space that I think is required to run the module. You can try adjusting these to see if it helps -- sorry, i didn't create a variable for this so you'll have to do them all manually.Having got the reporting system to work successfully, I then proceeded to install the fixes in the Stability Module. Phase I of the installation appeared to proceed without any problems. However, when phase II of the installation started after the reboot, two error different error messages were displayed, viz.:i) "out of environment space"ii) "- the above title started to loop thru installations and so was not installed again"The second error message is very likely related to the first one. When you start getting ES messages, this means that variables aren't being set properly and any code that uses the variables not being set will crash. Yep, i'm very sure about this one.Whilst I understood the first error message, the second one was too cryptic for me to comprehend.It means that the hotfix is trying to install for the second time when it should only need to install once.As a consequence of receiving the two error messages, I was concerned that the some of the fixes in the Stability Module may not have been installed correctly, or not at all. I thus manually checked that each fix had been installed correctly, which to my surprise was the case.This makes perfect sense to me. The module installed properly, its just that when you rebooted, the ES problem returned.I will check out those Strings you suggested ... I will also reply again when i've done some investigating ...
MoneyElite.com Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 (edited) Whenever I try to install the patches (whether to all or selected patches), it will hang at DirectX.It only occur in Full version.Any idea how to overcome this issue? Edited April 3, 2007 by MoneyElite.com

Max_04 Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 does auto-patcher work with windows millennium?Yeah, but the updates are for win98se only.
Grantomas Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 (edited) Ok.. first of all, great program and as i looked over all the posts, alot of effort and work has gone into this project.. I am very happy with this because in this day and age you don't see that very often anymore..Now on to the good stuff (hehe).. i just finished installing it with no issues to report.. i actually use win xp pro, but am also using Virtual PC 2007 with win 98 and at first could not get the internet function to work so i dl'd this patcher due to not finding anything else available.. took all of 10 min to dl (i have a very fast connection) and put it on my VM and installed it.. I have to say it is very easy to use and runs great.. the main reason i even started using 98 again was due to a game of mine would not run no matter what i did with XP.. (if wondering what game, Dungeon Keeper 2) i know that 98 is going to go the way of most good intentions soon and am glad that some people decided to keep the update progress of it alive and running due to some people still use it for various things.. great work and keep it up..

celtish Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 (edited) Just installed AutoPatcher 1.95 PR2 (March 20th, 2007) from SoftPaedia, took best part of an hour even using FlashGet! But the programme ... ingenious, fascinating!As you know it includes two options for WinUpdate Fix. With the first it was rapidly hunting or looping between V4 and V6. With the second it just brought me back to the 'Administrators Only' screen. Not to worry ..... (Post scriptum. An incidental effect of installing AutoPatcher is that it has installed WM9 properly for the first time in months, previously WM9 was not tenable on this machine because trying to use it just froze up Desktop every time.)

Analada Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Does auto-patcher run on win98Se that has had win98 Lite applied? I tried it on such a PC yesterday. It unpacked all the files ok. When I ran the batch, a DOS box appeared for a fraction of a second and then the batch exited. No error messages or logs or anything.
rov Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 hey soporific, Autopatcher is a great piece of work - thanks for that!i've had some troubles with it and wonder if anyone can help...- i recently revived an old laptop (toshiba satellite 4030 cdt - celeron, 128 mb ram) with a new HDD and a fresh install of win98se - i started out with win98 first edition, but when i tried to install win98se over it, the install failed. so, i removed windows completely from the hard drive and installed win98se from scratch. then i downloaded autopatcher ver 1.95. the first thing i did was run the report to see what was missing. the report said that 142 (of the total 178) patches/hotfixes/etc. were not installed. i assume the rest were included as part of win98se??- i configured autopatcher to install nearly all of the available fixes. after i ran it, i reran the report, and it showed 108 fixes were not installed, and 40 fixes were successfully installed (108+40=148 vs. 142 reported by the log - math doesn't quite add up here ??). i've since done some manual installs to get IE up to 6.0 SP1 and fix the windows update bug.- i was disappointed to see that the win98-to-me update didn't install - of the fixes that WERE installed, WinMP 9 doesn't work (double click on icon, nothing happens).my main questions are:1. should i run autopatcher again?2. how do i fix the WinMP 9 install?3. how do i get it to install the missing patches, especially the win98-to-me?4. should i uninstall autopatcher, reinstall and rerun?5. will autopatcher 1.96 address these issues?thanks in advance for any help/advice!ps - the log file is posted below - remember the 1st log report is BEFORE i ran autopatcher, the 2nd one is after...++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Report for Auto-Patcher v1.95 Preview Release 2 generated on Wednesday, 11 April 2007 - the time is now: 3:31am - the most recent report is at the end of this log file.

How can I tell?- WU_fix_v1.21.zip fixed the "Mac" problem. According to Windows update, I'm missing these 3 critical updates: KB916281 KB837009 (installed, according to A-P) and KB891711 (covered by U891711, I assume ???)- There are newer versions of DirectX 9. Are they compatible with 98SE?Overall, Auto-Patcher is an impressive piece of work. Bravo!Any other tweaks, fixes, patches etc. I should check out? :-)
soporific Posted April 13, 2007 Author Posted April 13, 2007 i've had some troubles with it and wonder if anyone can help...- i was disappointed to see that the win98-to-me update didn't install - of the fixes that WERE installed, WinMP 9 doesn't work (double click on icon, nothing happens).my main questions are:1. should i run autopatcher again?2. how do i fix the WinMP 9 install?3. how do i get it to install the missing patches, especially the win98-to-me?4. should i uninstall autopatcher, reinstall and rerun?5. will autopatcher 1.96 address these issues?thanks in advance for any help/advice!ps - the log file is posted below - remember the 1st log report is BEFORE i ran autopatcher, the 2nd one is after...* I am going to completely re-do Win98-to-Me for v1.96 -- too many people are now reporting problems, and its the BEST single update you can apply. I will release the package as soon as its finished so all those that had problems will be able to finally install it --- it will be packaged as a stand-alone install which will then be incorporated into Auto-Patcher.* Running Auto-Patcher again shouldn't cause any problems that it didn't cause the first time. It MAY install an update it didn't previously but that is normal as some updates aren't available until others are installed.* v1.96 will try to address all reported issues- I assume there's nothing to worry about the 3 "missing updates"?- The Win 98SE version now reads 4.90.3000A ??? - The "Win98-to-Me module" didn't do anything??? How can I tell?- WU_fix_v1.21.zip fixed the "Mac" problem. According to Windows update, I'm missing these 3 critical updates: KB916281 KB837009 (installed, according to A-P) and KB891711 (covered by U891711, I assume ???)- There are newer versions of DirectX 9. Are they compatible with 98SE?* Use the Windows Update (WU) menu option from the Auto-Patcher main menu and it will give more information about which updates WU falsely reports about. You are correct, you don't need to worry about those.* 4.90.3000A means you have installed the Win98-to-Me module !! - things that should be changed: the My Computer icon, the default color of the desktop background with no wallpaper selected, and most importantly, your computer should be 'zippier' --- ie faster and more responsive!* Those 3 'missing' updates are false alarms. The reason is you have installed the unofficial updates that are more recent than the official ones. WU doesn't like this ...This is just an initial reply, I will investigate further and get back to both of you
Bethrezen Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 (edited) hi allhave been using 98se for a long time and i have to say its my favourite M$ OS sure newer systems have there advantages but there just so dam bloated and slowthis and gapes unofficial 98se service pack are an absolute god send coz with M$ ending support its almost impossible to keep 98se updated hell even before M$ ended support it was still really hard to know if your system was fully patchedwith 98lite to remove superfluous functions I don't need gapes unofficial 98se service pack and this to patch anything that doesn't cover I can now be confident that my old 98se box is as patched and current as it can possibly beOutstanding Job keep up the excellent work I shall be watching this one closelyjust a quick questioni would like to create the ultimate customised hybrid 98se system for this I use 98 Lite and 98 to ME my question is what order would I have to do things obviously I'd install 98se first with 98lite and I'd remove all the excess garbage and update things like IE to there current versions but what would i do then would i install Gapes pack then run the autopatcher and then run 98 to ME ?? and also is there a 98 to ME autopatcher that will patch any problems introduced by newer ME files ???also a further though what about creating the ultimate 98 se update and customization package that combines 98lite gapes package the autopatcher and 98 to ME and a 98 to ME autopatcher to deal with any problems introduced by newer ME file in to one package ???that way anyone like me that wanted to create the ultimate hybrid system could do so easily safe in the knowledge that everything had been done correctlyi realise this may not be possible for a lot of reasons but though i'd ask anyway Edited April 15, 2007 by Bethrezen
