I 'discovered' AutoPatcher a few weeks ago, and deeply appreciate the efforts it takes to keep it going. I used to keep all the MS Updates on a CD with a script to load them, and know from experience the effort it takes to stay on top of Microsoft's updates.

I've been looking for Stand-Alone Modules to use with Autopatcher, and find that almost all of the links in this thread are broken, which is not supprising with some of them being 2 years old.

Have I missed something, and is there an easier way to find them?

I'm particularly interested in Run_With_Arguments and Firefox.

Thanks,

Mike

Here is the Msgplus 3.63 module, and the 7-zip english modules (32 and 64 bit) updated to 4.42. Please note that they are in 1 zip and should be separated. The 64 bit module also will not work with the current version of AP x64.

7-zip 4.42 32 bits

7-zip 4.42 64 bits

Thanks for making them official blaze.

Could you please add a link to the messenger plus module in the top post?

EDIT: Run with arguments.amp

Mirror (Convert 4.10, WinRAR 3.42 English, DLL & OCX self-registration, MSP Apply to, Run with arguments-already on gandolas?s website)

It would be really helpful if the modules on the mirror site were uploaded to a current address and the links were updated.

These links were in past posts, in case anyone was wondering. Page 8 in the default layout.

First of all AutoPatcher Rocks!

Okay I finally got thru all 14 frickin' pages of this damn thread and here is my conclusion:

Because Modules are the heart of AutoPatcher, and we all want more, they need to be easier to make and share.

-> a Tutorial for Modual creation is needed !!!

AND I'm willing to step-up and create it [ha - how 'bout that!] but need help

Questions/Comments:

1) Create a new thread - this one is too long and too old, and much that doesn't work

2a) Since threads stay around too long and downlaod space is always an issue, how about just posting the part of the module? [kudos to MazX_Napalm] May be import/export could be added to AutoPatcher Moldule Editor 2.x???

I think this MAY get around legal issues, cause the final product is not being issued just a decription of how it might be used.

2b) How was, what's between the stars below, created? taken from Page 12 of this tread... Any chance of import/export

3) for the Modual Creation Tutorial are there any tips for the following:

3a) Any easy why to find the ThumbNail for the program and is it nessary?

3b) Behavior tab - would like example of a complicated one to describe intracacies

3c) Detection - any tips or utilites that would help a newbie here

Are you sure you downlaoded the right release?

Or posts saying new versions were up but not saying where they were

What are the rules or sentiment to getting something like Windows Defender working with AutoPatcher?

Is it taboo, or can we at least talk about it, even if it never added to AutoPatcher Official?

I really love it using programs intended for saving me time, making me wasting it to get them functioning properly...

Thankfully I tested it before I gave it to my daughter (I love these "there is an error message on my screen"-phonecalls).

The following official modules have to be altered in order to make them work without that famous 'module panic' error (aka 'original programmer too stupid to check spelling'-error). Note that doing so renders the modules 'unofficial'.

that's because the parent module hasn't been included for some reason.

- download the attachment, extract the zipped files to autopatcher\modules.

- copy the module to the new 'stand_alone_mods' folder.

- edit the modules parent ID to 'STAND_ALONE_ENU'. yes, this will make it unofficial, but that's the fault of the module author, and hopefully they will fix it in future.

icon13.gifModule Authors

1) in future, all stand-alone modules must use the attached stand_alone_enu.amc parent module, and include it with the module (you can make a translated copy if you need too).

2) you should also use 'STAND_ALONE_ENU' as the parent ID.

3) you should also place the module itself inside the 'stand_alone_mods' folder included.

sa_enu.zip

sa_enu.zip

following modules need to be fixed like this ('STAND_ALONE_ENU' as the parent ID.):

7zip.amc for 7-Zip by Igor Pavlov v4.32

unlocker.amc for Unlocker 1.8.3 by Cedrick Collomb

paintdotnet.amc for Paint.NET 2.63

following modules need to be fixed like this (select 'This module is a child of the following module' & 'STAND_ALONE_ENU' as the parent ID.):

firefox_enu.amc for Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.4

For those unfamiliar, I thought I attached the altered files, but this doesn't work.

And, yes, except for the non-resizeablity, I like Autopatcher.

Well AutoPatcher Team have I done something good?

Still learning, but am committed to using AutoPatcher and it making a difference for myself and my team.

Please give me your feedback :)

Firefox 1.5.0.6? anyone

Actually, this shouldn't be too difficult based on the original 1.5.0.4 module. The only problem is finding a reliable registry key that will have an accurate current version in it.

For instance, on one of my PCs where 1.5.0.6 was installed as the first install of Firefox, the registry key (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox\CurrentVersion) shows 1.5.0.6 (en-us), but on a machine that's been upgraded it only shows 1.5 (en-us)

Unless someone can find a better registry key to work from... The only other I'm seeing of any potential use is HTLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Management\ARPCache\Mozilla Firefox (1.5.0.6) - but I'm not real comfortable with the values within that key without knowing more.

I'll post a Firefox 1.5.0.6 package in a few. For now, I'll just follow the original precedent of just setting the version to 1.5.

EDIT:

Firefox 1.5.0.6 Module is here: http://rapidshare.de/files/30238667/Firefo..._en-US.zip.html

Note: this is relatively untested, and should be treated as unofficial unless/until it's signed as official.

Hello.

I?ve read many things here but i still not able to make my own modules..

I do everything as i?ve read, but in the end, when i?m try to install the modules, they are not listed in Autopatcher 5.1.

Can everyone tell me step by step how i can create my own modules. An example will be great, also.

And if someone coud explain with screenshots it would be magnificente...

I?ve read the Doc from RGabriele "How to create autopatcher modules", but i think that?s not pretty clear for people like me. I?m just get started with Autopatcher...

thank you. and keep up the good work

Not sure where the origiional Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.4.amp went

So I recreated it.... attached here minus the download of spybotsd14.exe

Incase the zip corrupts again....

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
