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.

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.

    • Google's AI Ultra for Business supercharges Workspace with advanced AI and next-gen tools by Fiza Ali Google has announced the launch of Google AI Ultra for Business, a new add-on for Workspace that delivers the highest-tier AI models and next-generation tools to organisations. Subscribers gain priority access to the Gemini app’s most capable models; Gemini 2.5 Pro, Veo 3, and Deep Research, and will soon be able to use Deep Think as well. In addition, AI Ultra for Business increases usage limits within NotebookLM, granting access to the best available models when they arrive later this year. Users will also benefit from higher quotas for Audio Overviews, notebooks, queries, and sources per notebook, and will be able to enjoy customisable notebook styles and response lengths. Furthermore, organisations on Business or Enterprise Standard and Plus plans already have Gemini integrated across Workspace apps such as Gmail, Docs, and Sheets. Other qualifying Workspace customers can now obtain the majority of these AI-powered features by adding the AI Ultra for Business. When it comes to creative teams, they will find new capabilities in Flow, Google’s AI filmmaking suite, which uses Veo 3 and premium features to generate consistent, cinematic clips from reference images. Subscribers will also get access to Whisk, the dual text-and-image prompt tool that enables idea exploration and visualisation, while Whisk Animate will allow them to turn still images into eight-second video clips using Veo 2. In the United States, access to Project Mariner offers a research prototype that allows users to assign AI agents to carry out tasks, such as research and data entry, concurrently in the background. The tech giant says that all core services accessed via Google AI Ultra for Business (Gemini in Workspace, the Gemini app, and NotebookLM) are protected by enterprise-grade data safeguards under the Google Workspace Terms of Service or applicable offline agreements. Moreover, user content is not subject to human review nor used to train Google’s generative models outside the user’s domain without explicit permission. Flow, Whisk, and Project Mariner operate under their own privacy policies, which customers are encouraged to review. From 26 June 2025, the add-on is available for self-service purchase by organisations on Business Starter, Standard and Plus, and Enterprise Starter, Standard and Plus. Each licence includes 12,500 AI credits per month for use in Flow, Whisk, and any other credit-enabled products. As far as availability is concerned, it varies by country and by feature, so customers are advised to check the Workspace Help Centre for specific details. Google also plans to roll out Google AI Ultra for Business to G Suite Legacy Free Edition and Education customers in the coming weeks.
    • Pro Max Plus. That had to be some sort of parody.
    • YouTube adds AI summaries to search results and expands conversational AI testing by David Uzondu Today, YouTube announced it is adding two new AI features, and one is sort of like AI overviews for its search results. The platform is also expanding access to its conversational AI tool that can answer questions about the video you are currently watching. The primary update is a new AI-powered search results carousel. For now, this is exclusively for YouTube Premium members located in the United States. When you search for something like "best beaches in Hawaii," YouTube might generate a special carousel with short video clips and brief AI-written topic descriptions. It's interesting to see YouTube try this, especially since Google's own AI Overviews had some dangerous hallucination issues at launch, like that infamous suggestion to add non-toxic glue to pizza. The other update involves its conversational AI tool, which it introduced back in 2023. YouTube is now starting to test this with some non-Premium users in the US as well. If you are part of the test, you will see a new button labeled "Ask" positioned near the like and share buttons below a video. Tapping it lets you directly ask questions about the content. For instance, if you are watching a tutorial, you could ask for a summary or even for a quiz on the main points. It feels like every company is desperately shoving a chatbot into its products now. For creators, the AI-generated search carousel might turn into a serious problem. If people are getting everything they need from a summary without ever clicking through, there's not much reason to watch the actual video. That means fewer views, less watch time, and less money. Bad news if YouTube is your job. YouTube says the AI pulls from creator videos to make these summaries, but a quiet nod isn't the same as sending real traffic. And it's still unclear if any of that credit actually helps creators in a meaningful way.
    • Oh for crying out loud, more AI rubbish. It gets everywhere, well almost. i use Numbers on the Mac, which does what I need, at the moment I can turn any AI off, but maybe i should go back to LibreOffice.
    • Google Sheets gets exciting Gemini feature that is still missing in Excel by Usama Jawad We recently learned that Copilot in Microsoft Excel got a big upgrade in the form of context awareness, which is in addition to the formula generation capabilities that were made available earlier. However, no firm has really won the AI race yet, and Google has now edged ahead in at least one domain today, by adding Gemini text generation capabilities in Google Sheets. In a blog post, Google has announced that while you can already leverage Gemini in Sheets to generate charts and insights, you can now generate text using its new AI function too. This function can utilize a natural language prompt and an optional context window to summarize and generate text, categorize information, and perform sentiment analysis. The syntax for the AI function is fairly straightforward: AI("prompt",[optional range]) So you can invoke the Gemini function as follows: =AI("Perform sentiment analysis on the emails sent by the customers to the barbershop.", C2) Or: =AI("Create an email to the reviewer addressing specific items in their reviews.", A2:G2) It is very interesting to note that a similar capability is not offered by Copilot in Excel yet. In my testing, I did get Copilot to generate charts, formulas, and do some text formatting, it simply doesn't seem to have the ability to actually generate textual data directly in a workbook just yet. While an input range isn't mandatory, Google recommends using it for the best results. Just like any cell using a formula, you can refresh the AI cell, and get an indicator about its sync state. That said, a limitation that is present with regards to the AI function is that it only works for the first 200 selected cells in your range. Once that generation completes, you can select more cells and repeat the process, which is a slightly cumbersome experience. The rollout for this capability has begun across Business, Enterprise, Education, Education Premium, AI Pro, and Ultra plans, so it should be available to everyone sooner rather than later. In the meantime, you can view details about the AI function here.
