Q: Does AutoPatcher work with 64bit or XP-MCE systems?

A: The current Windows XP and Server 2003 releases are 32bit only. We do plan to make 64bit releases in the near future though.

XP-MCE edition is basically just XP-Pro with extra media capabilities. The 32bit XP release will work fine, however you will also require extra MCE specific updates. We do plan on making an MCE addition pack in the future.

Hi,

I did post details some time ago on how to detect MCE and which versions were installed from various registry entries.

I hope this can be applied either to a point release of APXP 5 or included with APXP 6 so the MCE updates can be included along with all the others and selected/installed as required.

Kind Regards

Simon

i still havent done much testing into ap v6 myself, but i expect raptor may well have included detection for it. if he has then we will most likely start to make modules for them too. whether they are included in the min release or as a seperate pack that can be added to the main release will depend on the total size of the modules.

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
