AutoPatcher XP December 2005


Recommended Posts

When running the Autopatcher for December (Dutch version) I receive the following show-stopper:

module panic on productenoverzicht van derden!

You are running Windows XP Professional SP2 (locale 1043) + IE6.

This release is not suitable for your system.

35602: Key is not unique in collection.

Does anyone know what is the problem?

Idea? Hmmmm.....yeah. Did you uninstall the previous version? That's one of the rules when you are installing a new release from AutoPatcher, then you have uininstall the pervious version. AutoPatcher doesn't do that for you.

Sorry for the wait

I installed AP full (english) onto English language test computers that had no previous versions of AP installed. The errors occured on both PCs

However, Ive since used AP on about 5 customer computers with no problems.

So it seems to work fine on new installs (which is where I need it most)

And those command line switches are great guys! thanks!

@echo off

"c:\Program Files\AutoPatcher\AutoPatcher.exe" /noeula /unattend:t1 /noreboot /defaults:defaults.txt

Many thanks for the work you do.

I have downloaded the December XP SP2 AutoPatcher from this thread - http://torrent.autopatcher5.mirror.ineedhosting.net/mystats.php - , this link - http://torrent.autopatcher5.mirror.ineedhosting.net/mystats.php - and this torrent - http://torrent.autopatcher5.mirror.ineedhosting.net/torrents/AutoPatcher_2000_Dec05_ENU_Full.exe.torrent - twice now.

The first time I downloaded and ran AutoPatcher without taking much notice of it. AFTER I had selected and executed the updates I wanted I noticed/discovered that I had installed the Win2K version of AutoPatcher. I assumed that I had mistakenly downloaded the wrong version of AutoPatcher, so I carefully downloaded the WinXP version above.

On running the newly downloaded version the default installation directory is "AutoPatcher 2K".

I have two questions:

1. Is this, in fact, the correct version of AutoPatcher for my WinXP system?

2. If I have run and installed the Win2K version of AutoPatcher on my WinXP system, will it have caused any damage?

With thanks in advance for your help.

Hello,

1. Is this, in fact, the correct version of AutoPatcher for my WinXP system?

No! You need the Windows XP Version of AP!

Use http://torrent.autopatcher5.mirror.ineedho...ull.exe.torrent instead.

2. If I have run and installed the Win2K version of AutoPatcher on my WinXP system, will it have caused any damage?

Normally no! But i'm not sure about it. Ap normally detects your windows version and disallow the installation if the win version is wrong!

Once again.

1. You downloaded the win 2k version over bt

2. You ran it on a windowx xp system

??? 3. ap starts and displays you the update choice screen ???

Thanks for that, Tarnatos.

1. Yes.

2. Yes.

3. Yes followed by a system restart to complete installation of my selected updates.

dont worry about it messing up your system, autopatcher only makes available stuff that applies to the system its run on!

Thank you for the re-assurance, TBA.

That was so cool, the post is allready paying off... :punk:

What do you think about merging FAQ & Common Problems&Solutions in one FAQ post :huh:

In regards to this (module panic error):

2) 35602: Key is not unique in collection

You've probably installed the release over an older version, and modules are conflicting.

Delete the folder your installing to, and reinstall the latest version.

Only 'update' releases should be installed on a previous release.

Ok, I have not installed a previous release and this error occured using the Dec Full package.

BUT, I wonder, How many of us have made custom ISO's using nLite or whatever containing hotfixes.

What I am wondering is, can using ISO's created with nLite containing hotfixes, cause problems with Autopatcher XP?

I also found another oddity, I installed the Full Package (1st time) - and got the panic error, so I uninstalled it. I then installed it again because I wanted to record my exact error message, but for some freaky reason, it worked fine. (Very odd installing the same package the second time worked).

Hi There

Wow and I thought I was the only one...

I tracked the problem down, by installing the security releases from AP_Dec. in blocks of three.

And found the release KB890859 (security update MS05-018) to be causing the issue. Microsoft has issued a

hot fix for this on Dec 27, which unfortunately is only available through their paid support service, and is not issued to the general public. I wish they or someone would because I dislike dealing with MS support.

Quote fro MS

"CAUSE

The Stop error occurs when the computer accesses a NULL DeviceObject object in a volume parameter block. This volume parameter block access is caused by a race condition. This race condition occurs when the computer mounts volumes on removable media devices such as CD or DVD drives.

This Stop error is more likely to occur in the following types of computers:? On a computer that is stressed

? On a computer that uses multiple processors or hyper-threading

? On a computer that mounts volumes frequently on removable media devices"

My scenario exactly

If you want to read for yourself...

Other than the networking problems others have experienced, AP has been good to me.

Thanks Guys

Wow thax man, I will rwmove the bloody sec update :yes: :)

Hey

When I remove even one tweak from security tweaks, I get prerequisite/parent error when loading AP, so I either have to remove them the all or none. ????!!!!

Is it possible than no one from the development team doesn't know the solution!!!???

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
