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.

Is all working on your computer now?

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

:ninja: Pascal B :ninja:

^^

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.

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.

    • American? Yer whole 120v limitation is madness.  You can still get low powered pcs , nice, that'll do the job 
    • People want a resizable taskbar, not tiny icons on a fat one. Microsoft, you've done it again.
    • Windows 11 gets resizable taskbar icons, PC Migration tool, and more in KB5060829 by Taras Buria Windows 11 24H2 users, it is time for this month's non-security update. KB5060829 is here, and it has some long-requested taskbar updates, a new tool for transferring files between PCs, and a hefty list of other improvements. With KB5060829, build number 26100.4484, Microsoft is finally delivering the long-requested small taskbar icons, one of the missing Windows 10 taskbar features. However, with Windows 11, Microsoft gives users more flexibility: you can have your taskbar as is, make icons smaller as the taskbar gets full, or keep icons small all the time. Neat! Additionally, a new PC Migration app is available, which enables transferring files from one PC to another during the initial setup. However, in a somewhat confusing move, all users receive only the landing page and the pairing page. The actual capability is coming in a future update. Other changes include performance improvements in File Explorer for handling large archives, fixes for display flashing, new accessibility features, and more. Here is the complete changelog (gradual rollout): [App defaults] New! We are rolling out some small changes in the European Economic Area (EEA) region for default browsers through the Set default button in Settings > Apps > Default apps: Additional file and link types will be set for the new default browser, if it registers them. The new default browser will be pinned to the Taskbar and Start menu unless you choose not to pin it by clearing the checkboxes. There is now a separate one-click button for browsers to change your .pdf default, if the browser registers for the .pdf file type. [Click to Do (Preview)] New! Ask Microsoft 365 Copilot is a new action in Click to Do on Copilot+ PCs. Use it to send text or images to Microsoft 365 Copilot, which will respond to your questions. The Ask Microsoft 365 Copilot action requires a Microsoft 365 license and follows your organization’s privacy policies. [Narrator] New! The Screen Curtain feature in Narrator helps protect your privacy and improve focus by blacking out the screen while Narrator reads content aloud. This is especially helpful in public or shared spaces, where you can work with sensitive information without others seeing your screen. To turn on Narrator, press Ctrl + Windows + Enter. Then press Caps Lock + Ctrl + C to turn on Screen Curtain. While it’s on, you can use Narrator as usual with the screen hidden. Press Caps Lock + Ctrl + C again to turn it off. New! Narrator makes it easier to discover and learn about its features directly within the experience. Whether you're new or exploring advanced options, Narrator will guide you through the latest updates using a series of steps and prompts that explain each new feature and change. [PC Migration] New! The PC-to-PC migration experience in Windows is starting to roll out. You’ll begin to see the landing and the pairing page in the Windows Backup app, giving you a first look at what’s coming. In the full experience, you’ll be able to transfer files and settings from an old PC to a new one during setup. Support for this feature during PC setup will arrive in a future update. The rollout is being introduced in phases to support a smooth experience. [Settings] New!​​​​​​​ The Settings homepage managed by IT admins now includes cards tailored for enterprise use. These include familiar options like "Recommended settings" and "Bluetooth devices" along with other new cards for device info and accessibility preferences. If a user signs in with both a work or school account and Microsoft account, an additional account card appears to show both account types. New! The country or region selected during device setup now appears under Settings > Time & language > Language & region. Fixed: The storage card in Settings > System > About shows an incorrect or unreadable character instead of the proper disk size. [Taskbar & System Tray] New!​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The taskbar now resizes icons to fit more apps when space runs low, keeping everything visible and easy to access. You can adjust how icons appear in settings—reduce icon size only when the taskbar is full (default), keep icons at their original size at all times by selecting Never, or use smaller icons all the time by selecting Always. To change this setting, right-click an empty area on the taskbar, select Taskbar settings, expand the Taskbar behaviors section, and choose your preference under Show smaller taskbar buttons. New! In addition to the new grouping of the Accessibility menu in Quick settings, there are text descriptions for the assistive technologies like Narrator, Voice access, and more for easier identification and learning. New! Adjusted the indicator (pill) under taskbar apps to make it wider and more visible.​​​​​​​ Fixed: WIN + CTRL + Number doesn't work anymore for switching windows of an open app in the taskbar.​​​​​​​ Fixed: When using taskbar in Windows, the media controls that appear in the preview windows for apps might unexpectedly flicker. [Voice Access] New! You can now use Voice access to navigate, dictate, and interact with Windows using voice commands in Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese. New! You can add custom words to the dictionary in voice access. The feature will be available in all the currently supported voice access languages. [Windows Share] ​​​​​​​New! When you share links or web content using the Windows share window, you'll see a visual preview for that content. New! In the Windows share window, you can select a compression level—High, Medium, or Low Quality—when editing and sharing images, instead of selecting from a 0–100 scale. [Color] Improved: Adjusted the location of the intensity and color boost sliders under Settings > Accessibility > Color Filters, so the color previews at the top of the page remain visible while adjusting the sliders. [File Explorer] Improved: Performance has been enhanced when extracting archive files - this will particularly help in the case of copy pasting large numbers of files out of large 7z or .rar archives. [Graphics] Improved: Made underlying changes to enhance display related user experiences, including reducing screen flashing during certain display configuration transitions and eliminating unnecessary display resets that occurred in some cases​​​​​​​. Fixed: Some displays might be unexpectedly green. Fixed: If User Account Control (UAC) is set to Always Notify and the button under Settings > System > Display color calibration is selected for your display and canceled, Settings will stop responding. [Input] Fixed: Typing in Japanese with the touch keyboard might stop working after switching to typing with an English keyboard and then switching back. [MSFTEdit.dll] Fixed: Some apps like Sticky Notes and dxdiag might stop responding when the display language is set to Arabic or Hebrew display. [Quick Settings] Fixed: The top three buttons in the top row don’t respond when selecting to enable or disable them. [Printing] Fixed: Printed lines might be unexpectedly thicker than expected. [Scripting] Fixed: Running a script on a remote Server Message Block (SMB) share might take an unexpectedly long time if the share is hosted on an older Windows Server version like Windows Server 2019. [Windowing] ​​​​​​​Fixed: When you press ALT + Tab to switch out of a full screen game, other windows like Windows Terminal might stop responding. Fixed: An underlying issue might lead to unexpected changes to window size and position after sleep and resume on some devices. Fixed: Explorer.exe might stop working unexpectedly when a window is dragged, if window snapping is enabled. And here is what is available to all users right away: [Copilot] Fixed: Improved the Copilot key’s reliability and resolved an issue that prevented users from restarting Copilot after using the key. [Performance] Fixed: This update addresses an issue to maintain efficiency of Storage Spaces Direct (S2D). When running complex software defined data center (SDDC) related workflows, it’s possible the system might become unresponsive. [Storage optimization] Fixed: An issue that prevented unused language packs and Feature on Demand packages from being fully removed, which led to unnecessary storage use and longer Windows Update installation times. [Windows Hello] Fixed: This update addresses an issue that prevented the automatic renewal of expiring certificates in Windows Hello for Business. [Windows Search] ​​​​​​​Fixed: Windows Search responds very slowly—Search can take over 10 seconds to load before you can use it. Fixed: This update enhances the reliability of Windows Search and resolves an issue that prevented users from typing in Windows Search in some cases. Known issues remain the same: there is a bug where Windows 11 renders Noto fonts poorly in Chromium-based browsers when the display scaling is set to 100%. A temporary workaround is to set the scaling to 125% or higher. You can download KB5060829 by heading to Settings > Windows Update. Alternatively, get it from the Microsoft Update Catalog using this link.
    • 4TB 2TB WD_BLACK SN8100 Gen5 NVMe 2280 SSDs are nice deals for sure by Sayan Sen Storage comes in different forms, both fast and slow, large and small. For example, the Seagate Exos 20TB and BarraCuda 16 TB are high-capacity CMR hard disk drives, and they are currently still selling at great prices. On the other hand, we have SSDs, which are much faster. The SK hynix P41 Platinum, for example, is a PCIe 4.0 drive and it is up for grabs at $120. If you need something faster, then take a look at Western Digital (WD) options, wherein we have the SN8100 PCIe Gen5 NVMe SSD at the lowest prices of just $480 for the 4TB variant and $260 for the 2TB variant (purchase links down below). Since this is a PCIe 5.0 SSD it is very fast, but like other Gen5 drives, it gets very hot especially for sustained reads and writes. So a heatsink is definitely recommended. The S8100 promises sequential reads of up to 14900 MB/s and sequential writes of up to 14,000 MB/s. In terms of random reads, it is rated for 2.3 million IOPS (input output operations per second) and random writes of up to 2.4 million IOPS. There are two reasons for the high random throughputs, first is the DRAM, as the SN8100 packs its own DRAM cache instead of relying on system memory, and second, the relatively new NAND technology called CMOS directly bonded to array (CBA) that helps boost interface speed. Speaking of NAND, the SN8100 features TLC, or triple-level, cells which provides excellent endurance and this 4TB drive is rated for 2400 TBW, while the 2TB is at 1200 TBW. Get the WD SN8100 at the links below: WD_BLACK 4TB SN8100 - WDS400T1X0M: $479.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) || $479.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) WD_BLACK 2TB SN8100 - WDS400T1X0M: $259.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) || $259.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Oof my bad.. I just realized the WAN port on the X10 only allows 1Gbit input from the modem >.<  arghh that derails everything lol. OK I'll need a new router then. Since I'm the only wired user in the household (everything else is wireless), would you say the RS100 is a good solution?  apparently not.. accepts 2.5Gbit, but outputs 1Gbit.. Still need a better solution. As for a build your own, I'm afraid i'm limited in power here  PC, Games, TVs, Printer, Receiver/Amp+ secondary Amp.. heck even the Mini Split (don't ask how/why they did it this way). One more major device trips the breaker :P Although I just noticed this tidbit on my router's config page. It almost looks as if the modem could somehow input "INTO" the 10Gbit port, rather than using the 10Gbit port as an output? https://imgur.com/a/uiObRNK What would be the purpose of this?  Even if that were possible, I'm still limited to 1Gbit regular ports ToT  I was also looking at the link aggregation on the router, but apparently that doesn't really help with download from a single stream, just balances.. and Win10/11 seems to have broken this functionality due to it never being intended for consumer OSs. I had it running at one point using the Intel proset driver that came with the mobo (has two LANs, just because I could), but that one update killed it. Not sure if that would at least have contributed to something.
