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 ^^'

    • Here's your first look at Raycast for Windows, now in beta by David Uzondu Last September, we reported that Raycast, the popular macOS command bar and launcher tool, was set to make its way to Windows in 2025. Since its launch in 2020, Raycast has quickly become the go-to app that people recommend for new Mac users due to its speed, UI, features, and plethora of extensions. People have been begging for a Windows build, and even a Linux one, for a long time. Now, the company has published a YouTube video showcasing the beta on a Microsoft Surface and explaining how you can get your hands on it today. It's all opened by pressing the default hotkey (Alt + Space). This gives you a central command bar to launch apps, run commands, and search for files. You get a lot of the core features right now, like a calculator that handles natural language queries, a full clipboard history manager, and tools for creating text snippets and quicklinks. For example, typing .pdf instantly filters for just PDF documents, and using a forward slash lets you navigate through folder paths directly. Once you find a file, pressing Ctrl + K opens a contextual action menu with options like "Show in File Explorer" or "Copy File." The included calculator is also a powerhouse, handling everything from basic math to natural language queries, like "time in Barcelona" or "days until August 12." The full clipboard history manager is a massive upgrade over the Windows default. It keeps a running log of everything you copy to your clipboard, including blocks of text, links, images, and files. You can open the clipboard history and search through every item you've copied. It also comes with a powerful filtering system. By pressing Ctrl + P, you can filter your history to show only text, images, links, or even just colors. Its Quick AI feature is also included and will be free for everyone during the beta period. That means you can ask it questions and get answers without needing a Pro subscription for now. Quick AI is built on a set of AI models, like GPT-4o mini, which maintains conversational context, allowing for natural follow-up questions, and you can browse your entire chat history. There's also an "AI search" feature, which is listed as coming soon. The most surprising part is the support for third-party extensions right out of the gate. Raycast built its reputation on an extensive library of integrations that connect it to services like Slack, YouTube, and GitHub. While some of these extensions are written for specific macOS features and are not compatible, many of the extensions are written in JavaScript, which means a huge number of them already work from day one on Windows. Image: @alvaniss1g on X As you can guess, the beta is not feature-complete. A lot of the heavy-hitting Pro features are still on the roadmap and are promised to be coming soon. This includes Cloud Sync to keep your settings consistent across machines, as well as the much-loved Raycast Notes feature. If you are a Pro user on Mac looking to switch, you may want to wait a little longer for full parity. Snippet expansion and calendar integration are also on the to-do list for future updates. Getting into the beta is a bit of a process. Access is being managed through a gradual rollout, with priority given to users who signed up for the waitlist announced last year. If you are on the list, you can expect to receive an email soon. And if you don't like the waitlist, your best bet is to find a friend who already has an invite code, as each invited user gets a few extra codes to share. Sorry, Linux users, but there is no word on your build at the moment, and we're not holding our breath.

    • Hi everyone! I’m looking for some help. I’m using HelpWire for remote support, and while everything else works fine, I’m not getting any sound from the remote computer. Is there a setting I might be missing? Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
