> Is it possible to roll all these up into AutoPatcher so it can detect and download whats needed like it does with windows updates?
yes, it is. first, you need to run the app with an /? or /help. in the infos displayed, you will have to read it carefully, looking for silent installs. then, you need make an copy of an module and edit the infos in that module. just also an sample, you can read above the module that i did for acrobat reader 9:

the most common detection for apps can be found in here: RegistryPath=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\
also you can see, this module looks for ParentID=STAND_ALONE. if you keep this info, you will need this:

making that way, every single module that you set to be ParentID=STAND_ALONE will be under this pared module (like the critical, non critical, etc already are). just don't forget that this must be unique to each module: UniqueID=ADOBEREADER9_PTB. if you have 2 or more of modules with the same UniqueID, they will not load
if you need any further help, just ask for it
