I had the same problem including the KB885836 Security Update. After re-running Autopatcher, it says those components are installed but they aren't.

in file Royale_xp_plk.amc :

"AutoPatcher:\Modules\AddOns\Themes\Royale\Royale.exe" /s

this is ok:

"AutoPatcher:\modules\AddOns\Themes\Royale\Royale.exe" /s

and rename Royale.amc_files to Royale

Thx!

I'll contact him soon! I'll think a complete translated version will be avaliable soon.

The translation is nearing completion and a first look could be granted tommorrow. First it must be tested on serveral systems before i make it public.

Autopatcher August: one update not recognised as installed

When I ran it, it showed a tick at .NET framework/ security update for .NET Framework 1.1 SP1.

However I do have that installed (886903). It shows in add/remove, and checking the version of the updated file, system.web.dll, it is the version of the patch (1.1.4322.2037) according to the security information section in

MS05-004

Maybe Autopatcher detection for this update is faulty?

It recognised everything else installed, showing them in blue, unticked.

There were several updates included that Windows update had not offered, but which were relevant to my system, so it's proved very useful to me. All the installs went smoothly. Thanks for the work you put into it, long may you continue :-)

Further to

Autopatcher August: one update not recognised as installed

Further to my previous post, 2 above this one,

I checked the .amc file for 886903 with the editor and to check whether the hotfix is installed it is looking for the key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\HotFix\KB886903

that key does not exist in my registry.

On my system, the install information for this hotfix is at

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{8EFA4753-7169-4CC3-A28B-0A1643B8A39B}

The default value in that key has data

Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Hotfix (KB886903)

The Dword IsInstalled has data 1

Maybe that should be used instead.

Yep, you are right. The registry entry you are pointing too, doesn't exist in the registry on Windows XP pro SP2. That means the detection in AutoPatcher is wrong.

If you take a closer look in the registry you can also see this entry

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\.NETFramework\1.1\M886903

In the Dutch release the detection goes like this.....

[Detection]
RegistryKey=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\.NETFramework\1.1\M886903
RegistryData=Description
RegistryValue=Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Hotfix (KB886903)

That means the detection in AutoPatcher is wrong.

No, Is OK

It looks as if the registry entries are different in different systems. I have XP SP2 home English and that key for KB886903 is not there.

Is it also possible that it gets put in different places depending on update method, i.e. install from update site (run) or manually from disk (save to disk)? Or possibly whether it was obtained through Windows update or from the hotfix download site?

Edited by JRosenfeld

@JRosenfeld and @Marcin.Riki

Yes, Marcin.Riki the key does exist in your registry. Do you know why? Autopatcher placed that. If you would rename it in something like, "have a nice day" then that will be in the registry! Try it and you'll see.

The detection in the module is wrong!

So, JRosenfeld you don't need to worry that the registry entries are different. It doesn't matter what kind of source you are using to install this update (Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Hotfix (KB886903)) it will always be at the same place in the registry.

    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.
