AutoPatcher is back!

Microsoft killed the Autopatcher project some months ago which was a shock to everyone who used their monthly Windows Update collections to update their computer(s) which had several benefits such as downloading the updates only once and not connecting to a Microsoft server at all.

The Autopatcher team was busy and have releases an early beta of a software they call Autopatcher Updater. The process of obtaining the updates has been changed. The Autopatcher Updater lists the latest updates for the operating system and Microsoft Office and downloads the files from Microsoft and Autopatcher afterwards.

New version of AutoPatcher Updater

Since this is a beta some problems emerge every now and then in particular a Runtime Error bug for some users which will probably resolved in the next release.

The main Autopatcher Updater interface:



The download window:



When the updates are downloaded you need to run autopatcher.exe which will then give you the option to install some or any of the updates that have been downloaded.

Nevertheless I’m glad that the team is back and it will be only a matter of time until they add more comfort and options to the updating process.

one noob question: why should i use it? i haven't patched my xp system even once.

U have never updated ur xp with service pack.

After SP 2 many more updates were released by M$ did u get those updates.
If not then Auto Patcher does that for you.

Been using Autopatcher to keep my system updated all the time.

Waiting for SP3 Final , till then auto patcher rocks

i have xp with SP2. should i install updates using autopatcher? it won't slow down the system naa?

Autopatcher was useful for dialup users as well, which i don't think would be anymore. Isn't it?

Best method of use...

Download all the updates using this release of autopatcher, slipstream using nlite into the xp install cd, and then install xp,,

This is the best method as its *safe* and *does not slow ur comp*


Alternative to Auto Patcher is Ryan update pack..But thats exclusively for slipstreaming...

Ciao

Mind elaborating???

If u dont remember, In india, still only a select few have unlimited broadband connections, so it benificial watever way u look at it...
