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'm old I guess, first thing I think of is just regular input/output.
    • Now, kids, Dan O'Dowd is what we call a professional hater.
    • Billionaire slams 'Tesla Cultists' for praising Robotaxi, says it's 5+ years behind Waymo by David Uzondu Image via Depositphotos.com The Tesla Robotaxi program has kicked off in Austin, Texas, and reactions are pouring in from all corners of the internet. A select group of investors and influencers have been invited to try the service, which operates within a limited area of South Austin for a price of $4.20. While the vehicles are operating without anyone in the driver's seat, the program has specific rules for this pilot phase, including a human "safety monitor" who rides along in the passenger seat just in case things go sideways. Of course, the launch did not go unnoticed by Tesla's most vocal and well-funded critic, Dan O'Dowd. O'Dowd is the billionaire founder of a group called The Dawn Project, which has dedicated itself to highlighting what it calls critical safety failures in Tesla's Full Self-Driving software. He refers to himself as an expert in creating "unhackable" software for military and aerospace clients, and ran for U.S. Senate back in 2022 on a single-issue platform: to "make computers safe for humanity" by banning Tesla's FSD. In 2023, He was banned from advertising on X after He made promoted posts that show Tesla FSD among other things, failing to stop at Stop signs. Last year, his group, The Dawn Project, paid for a Super Bowl ad, where a Tesla equipped with FSD did not act on a child-sized mannequin in the road. That commercial ends with a message, urging parents to "boycott Tesla to keep your kids safe." Today, O'Dowd took to X to slam the launch of the Robotaxi service, saying the "Tesla Cultists are celebrating victory" over a system he believes is years behind the competition (especially Waymo). He pointed out that with only fourteen cars operating for half the day, the system was already making significant errors, a rate he claims is consistent with community-tracked FSD data. The videos shared by the creators (Rob Maurer and Ed Niedermeyer), O'Dowd mentioned in his post, appear questionable, depending on your perspective. In Maurer's video, a trip that was otherwise smooth had a few unnerving seconds of the vehicle slightly swerving into the wrong lane, correcting itself, swerving again, correcting itself, and then finally settling. The other video from Ed Niedermeyer shows something entirely different. Niedermeyer captured a Tesla Robotaxi approaching an "extensive crime scene" with multiple police vehicles parked on the side of the road. On his personal Bluesky account (Ed stopped posting on X late last year, in protest of Musk), He claims the Tesla braked hard twice for no clear reason. In his commentary, Niedermeyer argued the car "shouldn't react to any of these police vehicles," and that it was concerning how it reacted to some but not others, before stopping in the "middle of the road instead of defaulting to a minimal risk condition."
    • Arch is now also using Wayland as the default session for Plasma 6.4, with X11 session becoming optional (so upgrading to Plasma 6.4 on X11 Arch might need manual intervention). It's been well over a decade in making, but I guess the time for Wayland to be the default is finally upon us.
