What happens when you uninstall autopatcher?

[Heresyte]

What exactly happens when you uninstall autopatcher? Will windows no longer be updated? I'm trying to make a ghost image that is small enough to fit on a DVD and I'm just barely not making it. Getting rid of the 271mb autopatcher folder in Program Files should make it fit. If uninstalling autopatcher doesn't un-update windows, how exactly will future updates work? Will I have to install *all* the autopatcher updates, even though windows technically has most of them already? Or does uninstalling it really remove all the windows updates? Thanks for your help.

uninstalling autopatcher just deletes C:\Program Files\AutoPatcher, and the desktop and start menu shortcuts if you opted to create them. it does not uninstall anything youve installed through autopatcher.

if you delete autopatcher then you wont be able to use future update releases, you need to keep what youve got as a base on which to install future update releases. note that new full/lite releases need you to remove older releases first, unlike update releases.

i suggest you copy the autopatcher folder to removable media. the autopatcher folder is portable so you can move it around and run it from where-ever you like, and you can install update releases onto it later.

Thanks for the August Full XP. :)

My question is if it's possible to delete the Critical/Non-critical modules, as they take up space on my hd and I don't really need them anymore.

Is it possible to keep using my installed AP with new updates when I delete those modules - will new C/Nc modules be (re-)added with the September update?

well, not really because sometimes we fix bugs and things and only part of the module is included int he update release. if you then use autopatcher youll have modules that dont work. can you not copy it to removable media?
