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!!!???

    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a new Xbox console reveal from Microsoft celebrating the gaming brand turning 25 years old. This is to be a new limited edition Xbox Series X and controller collection that draws on the design of the rare green version of the original Xbox console. The "XBOX Series X25 Limited Edition" is coming out later this year with its matching controller. "Inspired by the look and feel of the original XBOX console, both the console and controller feature a translucent OG Green design, with subtle tributes to the journey we’ve been on together," said Microsoft in the announcement. The Xbox Series X|S line has received several new variants over the years, but this will be the first edition with a translucent design. The Xbox Series X25 will have one terabyte of internal storage and a green light on the X to signify the console lines' history. There is a 25th anniversary logo printed on the front plate. Microsoft is also teasing that the community will be able to find "a few hidden surprises throughout" the machine as well. As for the new X25 Special Edition Xbox controller, this is also coming with the classic translucent green design for its front and back plates. "From the original ABXY colors, to the timeless green, every detail calls back to the beginning, including the bumpers honoring the original black and white buttons on the original “Duke” controller," says the company about this release. "The back case and battery door are fully transparent, revealing the classic XBOX logo." The XBOX 25th anniversary collection, containing both the translucent console and controller, will be available for purchase in November 2026 as a limited-edition release. Microsoft will be offering the new XBOX Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition separately as well. Pricing details and pre-order information will be coming later.
    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft offered a look at the upcoming Halo: Combat Evolved remake at the Xbox Games Showcase today. The Halo Studios-developed title is not only getting a fully remade campaign, but also new content in the form of a fresh story arc featuring Sgt. Johnson. Fans don't have to wait long, either, as Halo: Campaign Evolved is releasing next month. The new content joining the original campaign consists of three new missions that have the name "Operation: METEORITE" attached to the full project. Aside from ground-based combat, space missions are also included here. These prequel missions will take players to events set before the original campaign, where the Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson duo team up for a clandestine UNSC operation aboard a Covenant research vessel. The studio says that the story for these missions was written in collaboration with award-winning sci-fi author Troy Denning. "Operation: METEORITE gives players a chance to expand their experience with new locations, new enemy variants, more weapons from across the Halo series, and new ways to play within the Halo sandbox, all while getting to spend more time with beloved characters and witness a new event that adds to the legacy of their heroic history," adds Halo Studios. Today's new trailer showed off the game in action, including the new missions. Catch it below. Halo Campaign Evolved is coming out on July 28, 2026. It will be available across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 price tag. A digital premium edition will also be available for $69.99, offering five days of early access, extra in-game skins, and a digital art collection. A $199.99 physical Collector's Edition is also incoming, bringing a Master Chief statue, a Cortana chip, a Steelbook case, and more.
    • To give context to everybody, I bought about 2 sets of RAM, ddr4, 3200, 64 gb, 2 years ago. It costed me 150 usd for each set. If you buy RAM now you only incentivate companies to sell you expensive stuff, as Nvidia did.
    • KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.
