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

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.

    • Just when I thought EA couldn't go lower. They surpassed my expectations
    • The GEEKOM A8 mini PC is 20% off (lower than Prime Day pricing) plus Huge Storewide Sale by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a deal on a variant of its A8 Mini PC powered by AMD's Ryzen 7 8945HS, which came out in 2024 with a TDP of just 45W, with a base clock of 3.8 GHz and a Turbo Boost of 4.9 GHz; although we never reviewed this variant, we did check out the Ryzen 9 version. As a reminder of what you get, below are the specifications for this Mini PC. GEEKOM A8 Dimensions 112.4 mm x 112.4 mm x 37 mm Weight 450g CPU Ryzen 7 8745HS (8 cores, 16 threads, 16MB L3 cache, 3.8 - 4.9 GHz, TDP: 45 W) cTDP: 35-54W (Default 45W) Graphics AMD Radeon™ 780M Graphics 12 RDNA 3 Graphics Cores 2700MHz 768 shading units / stream processors (12 CUs), 48 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU XDNA architecture (Up to 16 NPU TOPS) Memory 16GB Dual-channel Crucial DDR5-5600MT/s SODIMM (up to 64GB) Storage 1TB NVMe M.2 (PCIe Gen 4.0 x4) Operating System Windows 11 Pro Bluetooth Bluetooth v5.2 Wireless LAN Wi-Fi 6E Kensington Lock No SD Card reader Yes (left side) Adapter 120W, 6.32A, 19V Power Adapter Front I/O Ports 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x 3.5mm front stereo headset jack Rear I/O Ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x USB 4 Gen 3 Type-C with Power delivery up to 15W (5V 3A) 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A 2 x HDMI 2.0b 1 x 2.5G RJ45 LAN 1 x DC-in Deal Price $519 (buying links below) GEEKOM has two configurations of the A8, with the only difference being the slightly less-powerful Ryzen 7 CPU with half the storage (1TB) and DDR5 memory (16GB). This knocks $350 off the price compared to the $999 Ryzen 9 configuration. In both instances, a Windows 11 Pro license is also pre-loaded. As I said previously, this appears to be an update on the A7 with the only difference being the newer CPU. The packaging has changed quite a bit from the A7. Instead of dark colors, now the box is completely white, and the foam cushion has been replaced by a cardboard mould that the A8 sits in, above a small envelope that contains a thank you card and booklet that has guidance on all of the controls, how to access the A8 to swap out the SSD or memory, and safety information in several European languages. Upon removing the cardboard mould, you can find another cardboard compartment that contains the power lead, HDMI cable, VESA plate, and a bag of screws. What’s In The Box 1 x A8 Mini PC 1 x Power Adapter 1 x HDMI Cable 1 x VESA plate and bag of screws 1 x Envelope with booklet and Thank you card Unlike the A7, the VESA mount option is back with the A8.
