I wasn't telling anyone to "officialize" or sign the updates, I was just telling why they're considered unofficial by AP.

Posted this in the announcements thread, but didn't get a response so I'll try here.

"Maybe I'm doing this wrong, but when I try to run apup.exe, it just says "Missing Files". Doesn't say which ones, just a blank message and nothing happens. I have the newest core of Autopatcher installed and the newest version of apup.exe. What can I do to fix this?"

Please help. I have no idea what to do to fix this.

You probably need VB6 SP6 Runtime Redist.

That, or you only extracted apup.exe.
You need to extract everything in the .zip file.

Nope, it's neither of those. 1. Installed the VB update, same message. 2. I know how to extract a zip file, everything has been extracted.

I figured it out myself. Took too long for an answer. Thanks anyways.

Well, what was the answer?
There might be someone else that have the same problem as you.

Ok on the modified apup it downloads the files to the wrong folders.. it creates all new folders and not to the autoupdater folder. Why is it creating it's own folder and redownloading all the components? It is suppose to be run from the autopatcher folder and updating the autopatcher. Can you please fix this?

my script is intended to help people downloading the whole set of patches starting from 0, making the process (mbs or even gbs of data) painless. further updates should be done using only apup, because the script doesn't provide advanced checks about already downloaded patches. if you run again the script after apup, it will re-download things that eg have been moved or renamed and at next apup run, it will move/delete/rename them again... a waste of bandwidth ;P
(of course it will download new patches too if there are some, but as i've written before it isn't recommended)

so the script, at the end of the process, provides you with a folder called apup containing apup.exe, autopatcher.exe and the patches you have selected. that one is your "root folder"

Having the same problem most people in this thread have been having since NOV. Hangs every single time, NEVER had a success download. I have what is suppose to be the latest version.

3 Things Checked, runs for less than a minute then hangs. Sometimes you can exit and start again, till it hangs again, and it will in short time.
AutoPatcher Updater 1.0.3
Autopatcher Engine 5.6.81
AutoPatcher for Windows XP (x86) - Beta v3.63

Hope you guys get this program straightened out , I really miss Autopatcher.

I finally got everything downloaded after at least 50 restarts of apup.exe. The individual hot fixes took for ever, longest with out the updated stopping was a 20 MB worth. The dot net packages downloaded with no stoppage, the office 2003 updates had to be restarted several times. I was afraid with all the stoppages corruption would be a problem, but after downloading completely the new Autopatcher worked just like the good old original.


Edit: apup.exe v1.0.4 worked perfect, not one stop during downloading.

guess what, i am having the same problem right now, double clicking apup.exe just makes it say 'missing files' ... some help could be nice!
i know for sure that the 'missing files' does not refer to extracted 2007 autopatcher files in the same directory as apup.exe because ive just tried that and it makes no difference

::edit:: extract the files by preserving the directory structure, there should be a directory called 'apup_bin' which contains everything but apup.exe

This post is for people still downloading the apupMod script.

Apup 1.0.4 is ready and working pretty good, please use it!!
