I have downloaded most of the current autopatcher5.6 releases plus updates and trie to install them all in the same directory.

If Install the Vista core plus august update, and look at the release info it says that is is official. However as soon as I install any xp core it makes vista release unofficial.

So I currently have all releases installed except for vista and it reports True for official release.

I have noticed that all releases now report as being dated august 2007 even though some of the installation files were dated May/june/july.

Thanks

exactly which releases did you install?

please run autopatcher (to the selection screen) with the /log /verbose switches, and post the contents of C:\WINDOWS\autopatcher.log

Hey there Blaze.

The same thing happened to me when I installed everything on my pen drive. It looks like the RTM was updated when I applied the Vista Update to the Vista Core but the logs are basically showing everything as missing in the RTI <See File Attached>

I'll try to re-duplicate it later by installing all the releases again.

autopatcher.txt

somethings up with the dotnet 1.1 sp1 module. gandolas must have changed something...

note that the other files in the log file show as missing because autopatcher quits parsing an rti file when it finds a problem that causes the rti to be recognised as unnofficial. - as well as parsing all the rti files, any additional files found are listed as not referenced by an rti file!

@shof, you can combine releases of different types (preferably from the same month), but you shouldn't combine two core releases from the same line. i.e:

xp may07 core + xp jun07 update + xp jul07 update + xp aug07 core = wrong, the new core does not do the same job as the aug07 update - it does not delete/rename/move things

xp may07 core + 2k may07 core + xp jun07 update + 2k jun07 update + ... = right

Im taking about this:

It seems he is trying to install 2 cores in 1 OS

Actually no Shof. Like Blaze was saying, I installed all modules into one directory which was on my pen drive. It doesn't matter which OS you use to install AP since AP is so versatile. If you install all releases to one source and then run it on a client computer, AP will detect which OS you are running and only display what is applicable.

The Vista and XP releases share modules such as the .net modules. If this module isn't identicle with both releases, they will conflict with each other and break the offical tag :cool:

    • You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.
    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
