@g0rd0nF, yes, i've just recently re-writtent he documentation so thats a start. right now i'm working with anther team member to get all of our releases compatable with each other. once thats sorted and our june releases are complete, i need to do a little editing of the documentation to do these changes, and then i'll create the new translation packs so translators can get to work again.

The only true way of telling that any user has all the present updates installed, is to:

Start Internet Explorer (not firefox)

Click on tools (press ALT key to show this menubar in IE7)

Select Windows Update (note WGA validation required)

Follow the prompts (accept Ok etc)

Sometimes the browser may look like nothing's happening, just be patient and wait.

Confirm you have all the updates, and/or install any missing ones.

Restart

I believe all should do this from time to time just to confirm manually all is ok

If Windows Update does not work, you may need to place Windows Update service (usually only this one of 3 is the problem) into Automatic (plus start it too) from Start - Run - Services.msc <ok>

lets catch up on a few posts...

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

934238, theres no download for this...

925720 to be included

923789 replaced by newer editions of flash player, i will consider adding but i recommend that you installer the newer flash players (included)

929338 replaced by another update

@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

887472 and 885626 fixed in new release!

by the way, i've notice this, in autopatcher.log:

Module 'Microsoft DirectX - April 2007' (unique id: 'DX_ENU') reports 'WINDOWS_COMPONENTS_PARENT_ENU' as its parent, but such module does not exist or is not loaded in the right order.

Module 'Windows Update v7' (unique id: 'WU7_X86') reports 'WINDOWS_COMPONENTS_PARENT_ENU' as its parent, but such module does not exist or is not loaded in the right order.

was when combining with your release? if so, please wait for the new translation packs before making a release. there are big changes to come like multi-lingual parent modules in the next release, never mind all the stuff from last months release.

i've notice this too:

KB900399: UniqueID=KB888656_XP_X86_ENU

in this case, seems that KB900399 and KB888656 will not load.

already spotted and fixed int he next release!

i've miss cmdhere_powertoy. it just is missing or removed?

i removed it because we have a tweak that does exactly the same job at a fraction of the size

i've notice that msie7 isn't anymore an critical update. but if that isn't anymore a critical update, a few ones must be added, in order to keep user secure:

KB890046

KB931768 - it seems installed, but it's showed at windows update anyway. perhaps i have an outdated version or i did something wrong. will check it tomorrow

KB925720

KB924496

924496 was removed in the jan07 release, most likely because it was replaced. i recognise some of the others too, so they've probably been replaced as well...

> 934238, theres no download for this...

in fact, there's not, also there's no a download for wga. but automatic updates have downloaded booth. so, i've token from there.

> kb923789

have you already seen this one being installing fine? i don't.

> was when combining with your release?

just matching modules. i've realize that i may had drop something due ms don't release each update for every single language at same time (also did another day for cardspace. english is already at v2. all other languages, the last time that i saw still was at v1), so i've token yours like a mirror in order to see if i was missing something. i need this tool in order to work faster, so, ins't a lost time even if every single module change every month. but i've token that log just by installing AP english, merging all his packages and, at the last one, i've forgot that 'run ap'. of course, it say "you have downloaded...", but just by curious, i've looked at the log generated at %windir%\autopatcher.log and i saw that. but it may be due a few things that i was doing at that time, to separate each package and i'm not sure if i did that at that message or something else. anyway, anybody with a english version of winxp can check that

> i removed it

i've realize that a few time ago. i was searching for missing translations that i may have forgot and i've found that module. i believe that it was in there for ages and i never saw that. i've changed the description of that module in order to make more clear that "open command line option..." is that "open command line here" tool

> kb924496

yep. it was removed, in fact. but if you install all critical, all non critical, except IE7 and wmp11 that is showed also needed by windows update, like a few other ones. it may be due some mistake of winupdate or something, but it showed me that also needed. i believe that tomorrow i will do a few more tests.

by the way: KB896097 and KB921108 are already included in SDK module

I always thought that all 3 versions ran alongside each other. Infact, I just tried to install Paint.Net after running AP, and it is telling me that .Net 2.0 is not installed. Maybe Paint.Net is at fault, not sure... :unsure:

v1.1 SP1 replaces all previous versions. v2.0 is the next one and is the latest available for windows 2000, v3.0 replaces v2.0, infact really v3.0 is just v2.0 repackaged with a bunch of extra components. infact if you dis-assemble the v3.0 installer you'll find a copy of the original v2.0 installer there! (thats why patches for v2.0 apply to v3.0).

i don't know whats wrong with paint.net.

Cool, thanks for clearing that up. I'll post a bug over at the Paint.net forums.

I deleted my old version of Autopatch and installed the new one. Afterwards, I ran my antivirus and it told me some .dll and an .exe had changed. I'm assuming this is because of the updates and it's ok right?

kernel32, user 32, shell 32, and then ntoskrnl.exe changed

Just want to make sure everythings up to snuff. I'm no computer whiz.

Thanks

hi...i having problem with AP installation.

i'm reinstalling my XP SP2 yesterday and try to install AP May x86 Core but cannot continue with the installation..

The error msg,

"This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

-just solved the problem..

thanks for the AP...

Being new to the forum and curious as well (I've known about Autopatcher quite a while though), I wondered upon what criteria do the MS updates / hot fixes / etc., make it into the "core" package?

Furthermore, it seems there is some duplication with the WMP10 addon and the WMP11 player included in the core package.

It would seem that if someone were to d/l all the packages thinking they might all be needed to be completely updated there may be some conflict if all are applied.

Those here who possess a lot of knowledge with the contents of the MS numbered hot fixes, etc. will have more of an advantage when considering which to apply to ones system and which to avoid.

Might there be any help in resolving a few of these issues I've discussed. Please know that I intend to rifle the individual forums / posts in an effort to edify myself in the quickest manner, but I thought I'd ask, too.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
