KB885626: AP english have this:

[installation]

"Module:\WindowsXP-KB885626-v2-x86-enu.exe" /quiet /norestart /overwriteoem

AP pt-br have this:

[installation]

"Module:\WindowsXP-KB885626-v2-x86-ptb.exe" /quiet /norestart /o

it does install in pt-br. you may turn your AP unofficial by doing that, but try edit KB885626_xp_enu.apm with notepad and replace /overwriteoem by /o only and try install it. if it works, please report. i've already notice that behavior some time ago and it solved

EDIT:

possible issue found. i'm currently choosing AP english also a translation pack and i've notice an issue with module flashplayer_IE_enu.apm

it says:

[installation]

"Module:\install_flash_player_active_x.msi" /S

but at module folder, it have install_flash_player_active_x.exe, so, i believe that it will not works. flashplayer_notIE_enu.apm has the same issue

What can I do?

I came across the AutoPatcher two weeks ago when I was looking for a solution for a PC I have in South Africa where my family lives where broadband is too expensive and even dial-up is charged as a local call which is cahrged by the minute. I was looking for a solution to update my PC when I visit them each summer without having to pay a fortune in Internet connection fees.

So 2 weeks ago, I found your GREAT product and tried it on an old PC I was rebuilding for my son. What a great idea. You guys have really done a great job. And I should know, I work in an IT department.

Well, I have just downloaded the new May edition and will be testing that on my old computer (I just reinstalled it from scratch to be able to test the new AutoPatcher).

I just have one question: What was the reason for the Core and Addon separation?

Keep up the great work guys.

As soon as I have tested the full install on my reinstalled (up to SP2) old PC, I will be glad to report my findings.

Windows Defender now have localized versions. so, his folder need be adapted to each language that have one. a few things may change due localized versions too, like:

english:

[DetectionRegistry]

KeyValue=1.1.1593.0

localized pt-br

[DetectionRegistry]

KeyValue=1.1.1593.21

it have uninstall too (it appears be missing in english , but it's just a minor issue, like the other ones):

[Removal]

MsiExec.exe /qn /X{A06275F4-324B-4E85-95E6-87B2CD729401}

edit:

WindowsUpdate_x86_files folder have WindowsUpdateAgent20-x86.exe too, that is no longer choosed to install

Edited by supermouse
Secondly, KB885626 is always selected for install, no matter how many times I try to install it.

I had a similar issue with KB887472, on my home PC too.

Manually downloading and installing both of them solved the problem.

I'm still no wiser as to why AutoPatcher couldn't install them.

Is there an AutoPatcher log file created by default, and if so, where is it hidden?

doesn't work for me. HELP!?

starting autopatcher:

Loading Progress

Loading modules... done

Verifying release integrity... done

Generating tree... you have downloaded the wrong release

I have XP pro with SP2 installed

Do you have an English copy of Windows?

@prandal, KB887472 and KB885626 have the exact same issue. booth will works only if you manually edit that modules and replace that /overwriteoem by /o. someone at ms did some mess in this ones and it says that works with /overwriteoem but doesn't. you may see that running this ones by command line without that /quiet option

but don't worry. this thing happends and for for sure it will be fixed, also any other issue that may be found at any release ;)

[]s

Sorry if I missed it, but in the previous version of Autopatcher, there was an option to "Allow Windows to keep hotfix backups for uninstall". I usually uncheck this box.

(see screenshot at http://enscreenshots.softonic.com/s2en/360...137/0_auto2.gif )

I didn't see the same option in the new version.

Thanks.

Thanks to all who made this great program possible!

I started using it with the February release and it has made my life so much easier! I have a computer repair shop next to a major University and I am forever re-installing Windows XP on these kid's machines. Autopatcher has saved me a lot of time!

One question about the new May release: It seems that some updates or maybe they're add-ons that were included in Feb. release are not in May's, such as the extra Themes and Wallpapers (like Royal).

If these are available as an add-on, will you explain how to incorporate them into Autopatcher before I burn it to a CD for use in other systems?

Thanks much!

Thanks for the reply!

Not meaning to sound too dense, by "over the top of the Core" do you mean replace the "add-on" folder in the "Modules" folder?

I don't have the new version installed yet, so I'm looking at the Feb. release in my program files. What you may be saying is that the new release doesn't have an "add-on" folder under Modules, and I need to download and install the add-on to the module folder, correct?

I'm sure I'm making this much harder then it needs to be :)

These three are not included:

Update for Windows XP (KB934238)

February 2007 CardSpace Update for Windows XP (KB925720)

Security Update for Flash Player (KB923789)

as WindowsXP-KB929338-x86

Regards,

After testing this latest AutoPatcher 5.6 (I downloaded all the addons and created a full Official Release - but did not load them at this stage to my PC), and after connecting the PC to the Internet and running Windows Update, I found the same 3 updates that "mocko" found, not included in the AutoPatcher.

Also, the following was update not included (I did use the Windows Genuine Advantage (KB892130) from AutoPatcher):

Windows Genuine Advantage Notification (KB905474)

On the AutoPatcher side, I have the following updates that are still showing up as part of the critical update, but they do not update:

On Critical Updates:

Critical Update for Windows XP (KB885626 v2)

Security Update for Windows Messenger (KB887472) - This could be because I chose to remove Windows Messenger and add Windows Live Messenger.

On Rrecommended Updates:

Update for DRM-enabled Media Players (KB891122) - I selected Windows Media Player 10 during the update process - I do not know if this may be the reason.

Update for Windows XP (KB889673)

Fix for WMF files (KB921108)

European Union Expansion Font Update

I hope that this information is usefull to the AutoPatcher Team.

I want to THANK YOU guys for a great job!!!!

If there is anything else I can do for you guys to assist you with any testing, just let me know.

>> Sorry if I missed it, but in the previous version of Autopatcher, there was an option to "Allow Windows to keep hotfix backups for uninstall". I usually uncheck this box.

> @stinkybum, no longer needed, we no longer remove backups

Okay, so if I don't want the backups, I just delete all the C:\Windows\$NtUninstall* directories? Thanks again.

    • The flaw with this analysis is that this laptop has a cellphone CPU in it. In the Intel world, that would be an N150 and those are everywhere, even in low end laptops. You can get an N150 based NUC with 16GB RAM and 256GB-512GB SSD... NOT soldered in... for < $500 Canadian (around US$360). The problem is two fold: tech bloggers/writers on most tech site (like this one, ironically) overvalue Apple and apparently aren't in the same earnings class as most regular people. As a result, we get breathless articles about how everyone needs a folding phone when most people just cannot afford one... or really need one. And we get Apple used as the baseline metric regardless of whether that comparison makes any sense. If Dell or HP released a retail laptop with a cellphone motherboard, you'd be all over them for doing that - but Apple does it and it's genius. I see articles suggesting what Samsung - a company that basically started the foldable phone market and has built them for eight years - needs to do to compete with Apple's unreleased, unspecced and unseen folding phone. Sorry, no - if the Neo (really creative name there BTW - still, better than the Go, the other "creative" product name everyone's using) encourages PC makers to make cellphone laptops using lower end ARM processors, we all lose. It's a step backwards and a capitulation to the fact that semiconductor makers and computer OEMs (and tech bloggers) have totally lost the plot.

    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been routinely kicking off demo festivals on Steam for years now, and the second drop of 2026 has just opened its doors. It's a great opportunity for any PC gamers to find some interesting games before they release. The June edition of Steam Next Fest is a week-long digital festival including gameplay slices from a large number of indie developers, though a few major publishers are involved this time too. Interested players can use the Next Fest hub page's various sorting and filtering options to easily sort through the hordes of demos available. The top buttons offer quick access to separate and important sorting options, including "By Genre, By Theme, By Feature," with each one offering more granular settings when clicked. At the same time, the built-in Steam tags system is also available below every page to discover new games more quickly. As always, logging in will also enable Steam gamers to utilize Valve's recommendation algorithms to find game demos they might like, specifically, depending on their past play and purchase histories. This time there is even a toggle now to swap between getting a random and personalized selection as Valve collects more data on the available demos. The Charts section is where you can find the most popular demos on the platform right now, offering up the most hyped titles in a simple list. Right at the kickoff, Mistfall Hunter, Empulse, Echoes of Aincrad, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Over the Hill, Mortal Shell II, and more are trending. Expect this list to change as the week progresses. This edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 22 at 10 AM PT. Valve's latest event is now open, and it can be accessed by going to the dedicated hub page here.
