icon11.gifGeneral Information

This release is based on the all-new AutoPatcher 5.1. Although it was made with Windows x64 SP1 English in mind, it will load on any Windows x64 version, showing only the items which match the running environment.

This release is UNOFFICIAL! It's a CTP (Community Technical Preview) to test AP on x64 based systems. This Version is for Windows XP x64 & Windows Server 2003 x64!

I'll hope you enjoy it! Providing feedback will help the team and me to make a better version of ap x64!

The BitTorrent network is impressive mostly for the speed and reliability with which you get files that have been recently released. As long as a .torrent file has enough people sharing then you can be assured that it will start quickly and maintain a good download speed. Always remember to leave your BitTorrent client open to help distribute the files!

Okay, here's the deal.

Because of some changes in the registry on 64-bit systems, AutoPatcher 5.1 will not be able to detect installed hotfixes. This is because 32-bit programs (such as the autopatcher executable) are locked into a specific area of the registry. So when AutoPatcher queries for, let's say

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\HotFix\KB123456

Windows redirects it to

HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\HotFix\KB123456

...which doesn't exist.

As most of you know, I don't have a 64-bit system, so I found out when Gandolas was making an x64 release based on... AutoPatcher 6. Oh, and yes, AutoPatcher 6, although still a 32-bit executable, is aware of the x64 differences and will have no trouble getting around that registry issue...

/Raptor

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\HotFix\KB123456

Windows redirects it to

HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\HotFix\KB123456

...which doesn't exist.

I know about this limitation. But there are still more. On x64 based windows versions the information witch hotfix is installed isn't stored in the registry. So ap have to create a new reg key to detect the hotfixes in the future.

That are all reasons for me to create a ctp version auf ap x64. So we can test if ap 5.1 is able to update a x64 system. Maybe itcan help with the development of ap 6.0.

Beep. Wrong answer. 64-bit Windows versions still store that info in the registry... They even store it in two parts... The one is the good old HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\HotFix and the new one is the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Update (if i'm not mistaken)

I'm sorry but that isn't so!!

Just look at this litte video (xvid needed!): Download

Windows x64 store *some* hofix information in "C:\WINDOWS\$hf_mig$"!

good job. Some issues though. WMP 10 is included in x64 versions of Windows.

You could also add some of the following:

-MSN Messenger 7.5

-Flash 8.

These have been confirmed working for when I made my x64 version (now scrapped as of seeing this)

the_guy

Will that version install on x64?

1 other thing, 896727 is replaced by 905915.

Yes!

No!

- KB896727 replaces KB883939 & KB903235

- KB905915 replaces KB896688

Thank you for making an x64 autopatcher

No probelm, but remember that's no official version. It's only for testing!

well im upgrading to x64 windows and downloading your file as a backup for later update

cant wait to play hl2 64 bit, wohoo?!!!

Playing @ x64 isn't really amazing. Often Win32 is much faster.:(( I have a dual boot system for working and gaming.

If you wish to test it, heres a dowload location:

Windows XP Pro x64: http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/1...1830_PX6_EN.iso

Reg to get a key: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/64bit/e...tion/trial.mspx

As raptor said, i've been workin AutoPatcher XP x64 based on the brand new version 6. There are some big differences between the "old" 5.1 and 6.x...

Edit:

And there are some problems with your settings.

1st. - You are using the old 5.1.31 (the newest is 5.1.36);

2nd. - You have "TargetOS=ANY_OS" and it should be "ANY_XP_X64" (and i think "ANY_2K3_X64"), but even with the ANY_OS string, i can't see any module but tweaks because of:

3rd. - Lot's of fields have errors. Example:

Default=Wahr

Expand=Wahr

...

NeedsRestart=Wahr

about x64 environment tags:

Tags are constructed using the following:

1. Operating System Family (i.e. XP)

2. Operating System Suite (i.e. X64)

3. Operating System Service Pack (i.e. SP1)

With that information, AutoPatcher creates the tag FAMILY_SUITE_SERVICEPACK

The running environment is also considered to be a 'member' of:

ANY_FAMILY_VERSION

ANY_FAMILY_SUITE

ANY_FAMILY_SERVICEPACK

And of course a member of:

ANY_OS

Windows XP Professional x64 Edition is XP_X64_SP1 so it would be a member of ANY_XP_VERSION, ANY_XP_X64 and ANY_XP_SP1

    • 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
