1) make sure you have the latest release,

2) check that the checksum matches,

3) remove the old version before installing the new version unless the new version has "update" in its title.

remember:

- if a release has "update" in the title then it should be applied to the previos version, and adds to it.

- if a release does NOT have "update" in the title, its a full copy and its best to remove the old version first.

the reason for this is because the new version may have a different structure, or modules may have been removed or renamed and problems could arise if its not done.

I still have the same problem... :(

Anyway, before asking for help, I tried all suggested actions and finally installed AutopatcherXP April (Eng) on a new pc, soon after windows installation, with no previous version of AP or any other ''utility'' installed, which might interfere with it and with last version of VB runtime, but there is no difference: at a certain time (sorry but I can't say when, because there is no info about) the message box appears and there is no way to continue...

PS: I use italian version on winXPsp2, but if I didn't misunderstand, AutoPatcherXP (eng/intl ver) can be installed anyway: it will be the program itself that will handle (when possible) the locale, or, at least, it should not go in error.

Thanks in advance.

What is the reason for installing VB runtime and was it the one that's in the directory of Autopatcher?

well thats most likely your problem.

AP itself will (or should) run on any system reguardless of language.

however the modules included in the english release are aimed at an english system.

I believe the 35601 error stems from when a parent module is missing (usually 2+ to get the error).

If the modules werent actually present in the release, everyone would get the error. i believe parents are just not being loaded because of the italian system, and therefore child modules are complaining.

The solution is to either 1) buy an english system, or more sensibly 2) get an italian copy of AP, which youll probably have to help translate yourself.

I think it might be helpful if we released two different versions for non english releases.

Both having the new installation files and such, however one with translated titles and descriptions, and one with english.

AP requires them to be installed in order for it to work.

Newer OS's come with them pre installed, but its worth a check.

Well, that's new for me. If you intstall Windows XP pro with SP2 then you don't need the VB run files. The most things that AutopatcherXP 2005 is offering is for XP.

About the Missing Element, it must be setting in a "module" I think that it has to do with the language ID, OS, or IE version. That's all included in the Module....

Yep, too much :angry: seen that message on front of my screen. Was my mistake. :D

exactly, with XPSP2 you wouldnt have to install them. however there is only one copy of AP available, not one for each OS as before with v4.6.

The files are there incase you use AP on a system that doesnt have them installed.

reguarding the 'missing element' error 35601, ive explained above its to do with the language settings of the modules vs the lang of the machines OS.

Tineke26, this dude :ninja: Pascal B :ninja: is working on a Dutch version of Autopatcher. The version that I'm making is based On Windows XP Professional with SP2 installed. Is that what you are looking for? If so, then go to the official forum that involves WindowsXP Autopatcher 2005 (https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=299731). If you want more information then contact me by e-mail.

Greetings,

That's my problem too, I don't have an English version of Winxp.

What if i want to make a version of AP in another language?

Can i just do this with the error that is occuring on my system?

in this case, the error is not to do with missing files, but with parent modules not being loaded because there not for your language.

the error occurs because when loading the child modules of that parent, the parent is not present.

to fix the problem you need to either download a release in your own language, or translate it yourself.

the error will not cause a problem with the translating, as soon as you have set the language field in all modules to your own language, autopatcher will be able to load everything.

Thanks, im working on the Dutch AutoPatcher April 2005 Full Version now.

  someinfo said:
Yeah, that's correct, but the link is dead.

585877843[/snapback]

Now it's time to clear something. The link that's available here wasn't mines. This is a link to the first version off the Dutch version made by Raptor himself. This is the release of Jan'05. After downloading that one, I found out that it wasn't working. After trying and trying I decided to make a new version in Dutch.

The question is now; what should be included in the lite and /or full version? Example: the PowerToys are in English, not available in Dutch. A few persons want them included and others don't need English software installed.

That's why it's taking time, that was the part "the making of AutoPatcher".

Now the part of availability on the internet. The link is dead! It wasn't mines as I tolled earlier. The problem is that I need a link and diskspace for ever. Not just for fun neither for a little time. That's not my goal!!!!!!

At this moment I'm busy with a hosting provider to see if we can make an agreement for a free offer. That means no traffic limitation!!!

When you offer a service, you have to it right at once! :yes:

With this, I'll hope that the sun is shining and I cleared all.

    • I mean at this point, why even have a desktop? Just open a browser window full screen and send her to her homepage. Access to anything she needs right there. Could be on Linux, could be on Android, heck could also be on Windows 11. No one would know!
    • Will be replacing my last 2 Windows 10 PC's in household ASAP, if they could upgrade now i've done it already. Main Desktop runs Windows 11 already, that ones all set. Now just to get the other 2 all set asap
    • I think you answered why it gets so much attention in your comment. It's designed to make Windows accessible to everyone! It's a core component of the Windows UI, and 30 years of its existence is why it remains such a key component and receives so much attention to this day!
    • I agree with your points, particularly around workflows. But I think this is a symptom of the way Microsoft plans, builds, and releases its OS's, not about its UI ideals itself. It has historically been large jumps in UI changes between releases, XP > Vista > 7 > 8 were ALL significant changes in how we performed tasks. Then Win10 was released and updated twice a year with minor changes. This was somewhat nice as the changes were often minimal, however as it looked like the same OS for the most part, when something did change (like the start menu), it was a bit confusing for people who didn't understand that they had actually been upgraded, and why just this one key part of their workflow had changed. But I believe that was too slow, and didn't allow their future designs to be played out in that release structure. So the "last Windows version ever" was superseded with a new UI and overhauled once more. It too has changed quite a bit in its 4 years, but I think there needs to be an understanding of that change, which I guess we have in the "24H2" version numbering, but not in the marketing that most users know. The most consistent and clear communication of changes I think is done with MacOS. While I'm not a fan of Apples software, their clear and consistent release schedule, and progressively planned changes to the OS is easy to understand, leading towards a well thought out goal. Their users understand the branding of the big updates, and that changes will occur when they update, yet these are more subtle than changes we see in Windows 7 > 8 > 10 > 11 releases. On that, Windows 10/11 version updates just get lost in the vast collection of update types in Windows Update, and as such most users wouldn't know if the were on 22H2, 23H2 or 24H2, or even know what those meant. My thoughts are that Microsoft will drop the Win11/Win12 branding once Windows 10 has finally died. And hopefully, make it a bit more consistent with feature/UI updates sticking to an improved branded version/year release rather than "moments" or just randomly enabled elements in a random monthly update. Until then, even us tech users rarely know what features are in what release and if we will see it on our own computers. Get with it MS!
