6) When i double click the AutoPatcher shortcut nothing happens

Go to: C:\Program Files\AutoPatcher\tools, run 'AutoPatcher Module Editor.exe' and close it - next run autopatcher.

If that doesn't help, copy comdlg32.ocx from the AutoPatcher \bin folder to c:\windows\system32 (overwrite existing file if there is one).

I've tried this.. I've tried creating another login with.. both are normal characters.. still nothing..

I really wanna get this to work on my Windows XP sp2 machine as I do not connect that one to the net or the network..

After messin around for a while I finally got it.. First I tried it in windows safe mode... It worked but could not access the windows installer service.. So that told me that some software that was running in normal mode was preventing autopatcher from running.. So I went into normal mode and ended all of the process the wern't required for windows to run.. still no go..

Finnaly, I restarted and clicked on AutoPatcher the first second i could see the desktop.. IT WORKED!!! I had beat whatever was gonna load and cause it not to work..

It's a quit silly method but works. Hope this helps someone.

All of the current releases (Except x64 and Vista) are using AutoPatcher 5.1.

There is no "full update" file, what you have is simply an update.

You will need the November Full, December Update and January Update files and install them in order :)

Hey, there...

I've just recently installed AP XP. I installed the Nov 06 FULL version and everything ran great. I then installed the DEC 06, JAN 07 and FEB 07 updates and now I'm getting "Abnormal Program Termination" errors on various different applications. by various I mean varied, from Half-life 2: SOURCE to Daemon tools to Encarta 2003.

I didn't run any programs in between running the Dec 06 and feb 07 updates, just rebooted at the end of each update.

I have tried disabling windows defender and the windows firewall. I've also run the tweak undo tool but to no avail. Please help.

Thanks.

Installing from from clean format, do I need Jan 07 & Dec 06 updates with Nov 06 Full & Feb 07 updates to have completely updated XP installation?

Of course! You must install in correct order: Nov06 Full/Lite + Dec06 Update + Jan07 Update + Feb07 Update.

I'have a Autopatcher_april2004 release,Extracted it to some other drive other than host os, i just did a clean format & tried it before running Nov'06,Dec'06 & etc

I got a an error,"Language Translation" something like this, I read all language translation documents

But i think they r for newer releases of autopatcher? I tried changing LCID code but earlier in that release documentation it was written to change it from like english"ENU" to german "DEU".so that trick didnt work.I tried changing system language & regional settings,still the same prob.

Can u tell me how to start it frm begining,or shall i continue now from Nov'06,Dec'06 releases?

Hi

I have downloaded and installed AutoPatcher_XP_Nov06_ENU_Full.exe. Everytime I run it, after selecting the items to install, when I click the "Update" button I get a Run-time error '5'.

Things I've already tried (and have not worked):

- Searching this site for answer :-)

- Searching the WEB

- Rebooting

- Uninstall, reboot, re-install

- Clean up temporary files/directories

- Run RegClean

- Turn off firewall and virus scanner

- Changed directory to G:\Autoatcher (to ensure no spaces in the path)

Thanks

Barry

I tried both of the option below with no success :-(

Any other idears?

Thanks

Barry

@Barry G Kruyssen, try copying files in C:\Program Files\AutoPatcher\bin to C:\Windows\System32, and or running files in C:\program Files\AutoPatcher\win9xnt

Edited by marcelo verdura

marcelo verdura, por favor, verifique o md5 do arquivo. se estiver corrompido, este tipo de inconveniente pode ocorrer. o md5 correto ? este: b3c677007984f66d40753a89934e416b

eu gosto desta ferramenta para testar md5:

http://www.nero.com/enu/Nero_MD5_Verifier.html

? gratuito e bem f?cil de usar.

se o md5 n?o bater, s? baixando novamente. existe outro mirror http para este arquivo, mas n?o sei se ainda est? vivo. existe ainda mirror no demonoid, mininova e outros trackers. tamb?m h? um mirror no emule.

em alguns dias, uma nova vers?o full deve ser lan?ada. ela ? baseada no AP 5.6 e a vers?o pt-br j? est? rodando ok com essa engine, logo, voc? tamb?m pode esperar alguns dias

ps: existem apenas algumas pessoas que falam portugu?s aqui, ent?o...

sap:

marcelo verdura, please check md5 of that file. if it is corrupted in any way, this sort of thing can happend. the md5 for this file should be this: b3c677007984f66d40753a89934e416b

i like of this tool to chek md5:

http://www.nero.com/enu/Nero_MD5_Verifier.html

it's free and pretty easy to run.

if the file that you have doesn't match you will need download it again. there's another http mirror fot that, but i don't know if it's alive yet. there's another ones at demonid/mininova and other trackers. there's one e2k mirror too.

but in a few days, a new full version will arrive. it's based on AP 5.6 and pt-br is already running fine, so, you may wait a few more days.

ps: there's just a few guys that speak portuguese in here, so...

edit: damm keyboard...

Ol?,

Depois de rodar o AutoPatcher WXP Jan#2007 BR o compartilhamento de arquivos de meu computador deixou de ser acessado por outros computadores do grupo de trabalho. Apenas a impressora ? acess?vel. Algu?m saberia dizer qual ? a atualiza??o que prejudicou o compartilhamento?

Tentei o procedimento de desfazer o Tweak IPC Security, como diz no in?cio deste forum, mas n?o resolveu.

Obrigado.

Hello. I've downloaded the Full January Pack PL, installed it and the whole thing worked great.

BUT - after I downloaded and installed the February Update and chose to run autopatcher after the installation, nothing happened. Ok, so I thought - let's just run it manually. When I run the .exe file, an error window popped up, saying: "C:\Program Files\AutoPatcher\AutoPatcher.exe is not a proper Win 32 application".

Any ideas, what can I do? I downloaded/installed it 3 times, always get the same thing. Oh, I've also downloaded the "Run-time-error_fix.exe" but it didn't solve my problem. Any help would be appreciated ^^'

    • It is fundamentally impossible to secure delete files, especially on newer HDDs and all SSDs. You never know how the controller firmware is going to layout data or copy data around to optimize access or invoke wear leveling. The only way to securely “delete” something is to put it on an encrypted file system and forget the encryption key, assuming any apps you open the files in don’t copy the files to a local cache on the boot volumes.
    • TBF, it has had PST support for quite a while now. But I still want them to add the ability to drag & drop between accounts / PSTs.
    • LibreOffice closes in on Office, leaves Windows 7/8 behind in 25.8 Beta 1 by David Uzondu The Document Foundation has released LibreOffice 25.8 Beta 1 for public testing on Linux, macOS, and Windows. This is the second pre-release for the 25.8 cycle and the foundation says that the final, stable version of LibreOffice 25.8 is expected to land at the end of August 2025. Starting off with Writer, LibreOffice's Word, the developers have finally addressed some long-standing annoyances, including a new command to easily insert a paragraph break right before a table. This beta also introduces a useful privacy feature in its Auto-Redact tool, letting you strip all images from a document with a single option. To use it, go to Tools and select the Auto-Redact option: The application has improved its ability to handle different languages for punctuation, preventing mix-ups in multilingual documents. Other notable improvements have also been made. A new hyphenation rule lets you choose to prevent a word from splitting at the end of a page, moving the whole line to the next page instead. Microsoft Word has had this feature for years now. The Navigator now displays a handy tooltip with word and character counts for headings and their sub-outlines. Scrolling behavior when selecting text has been improved, making it less erratic. A new command with a keyboard shortcut was added for converting fields into plain text. Calc gets a lot of new functions that bring it closer to its competitors like Excel, including TEXTSPLIT, VSTACK, and WRAPROWS. Impress now properly supports embedded fonts in PPTX files, which should reduce headaches when sharing presentations with PowerPoint users. Alongside these additions, the project is also cleaning house; support for Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 has been completely dropped. There are also smaller UI tweaks across the suite, like allowing a single click to enter rotation mode for objects in Writer and Calc. macOS users get better integration, with proper support for native full screen mode and new window management features from the Sequoia update. In terms of performance, the team has optimized everything from loading huge DOC files and XLSX spreadsheets with tons of conditional formatting to simply switching between sheets in Calc. These improvements should be noticeable, especially when working with complex documents. A new application-wide "Viewer mode" has also been implemented, which opens all files in a read-only state for quick, safe viewing. On a related note, The Document Foundation has joined efforts by the likes of KDE to encourage Windows 10 users to switch to Linux. Also, you might have heard that Denmark, in a bid to lessen its reliance on Microsoft, has decided to make a full switch to LibreOffice, with plans to begin phasing out Office 365 in certain ministries as early as next month. If you're interested in this release, you can read the full release notes and download the binaries for your platform: Windows, macOS (Intel | Apple Silicon), or Linux (DEB | RPM). You can also get the latest stable version from our software stories page.
