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

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.
