Loading Module/No Software Installed?

I hope this doesn't seem like a dumb question but is there a way to get AutoPatcher to load a module
for software not yet installed?
I have a few modules that pass fine via APUP - no erros - but I would just like to see the module loaded
in AutoPatcher and see all the updates available. I have no idea when or if I will install Vista x86 or switch
to XP x64 but I have modules for both and no way other than APUP to verify the download.
Any ideas?

Yes -- run AutoPatcher!!
Sorry, couldn't resist that reply. The long explanation is that all the modules are loaded and verified when you run AutoPatcher, BUT only those that will install are actually shown on-screen. So, for example, if you try running AutoPatcher with all the Vista files, but you are running XP, it will load all the Vista files and verify them, but only show those that will also install on XP, which will be at least kb890830 (the MRT) and maybe a few others.
