As you can see in the picture, IE7 is installed and marked as blue. But IE6 updates are still offered instead of IE7 updates.

So my question is : are those updates necessary even if IE7 is installed or it's just a glitch in AP's recognition function?

(I downloaded updater and downladed files yesterday/ its a clean new OS, with IE7 installed via GuiRunOnce [latest version used])

pal, at daily basis, almost all members from autopatcher team are behind an corporate firewall. in that situation, certain servers us to be blocked, like rapidshare, imageshack, etc, etc etc. sometimes, we can fix the script while we are in our work, but we need see the issue (or, at lease, see the name of the module). so, please, can you write the name of the module? the image may help when we are at our homes, but at work...

thanks

Angelico_Payne - you should also run Windows / Microsoft Update and see if you get the same behaviour.

now i can see the image. the kb958215 and kb960714 are restricted to ie6. i could bet in some issue regarding the deployment of ie7 into your system

If IE7 is properly installed, those two updates do not show on AutoPatcher's selection screen. Instead KB961260 for IE7 shows.

The problem is with the IE7 installation, not with AutoPatcher's detection. Check the IE7 install logs and also check every component file (ALL IE6/IE7 .dll files) for version numbers. Somewhere you have either a remaining IE6 file that was not removed or a missing IE7 file. Not all IE7 files have the same names as IE6 files.

So the answer to your two-part question is: no and no!

Bottom line: Re-install IE7, then re-run Autopatcher.

Ok I rechecked the installation source,and it seems IE7 is not installed via GuiRunOnce but acctually integrated into installation source via nlite.

If I have to rerun IE7 that means i cant apply updates right away, and have to restart.
That means I can't do it in a single run, which is kind of the whole point, and reason I moved to nlite.

What confuses me is that it is marked as blue, which means it is detected by AP as being installed properly.

Look , this is not a big deal. I am using nlite to integrate all hotfixes/updates into installation source,rest I install using GuiRunOnce method,
But I use AP to be up-to-date with latest hotfixes/updates.
Which means I download latest AP and updates/hotfixes and then run it on prenlited source (that has hotfixes integrated) to see if there is something new, and then if there is, I just integrate necessary file into installation source. But if AP is not recognising things installed properly, then it will not offered it as update. So far I have only noticed it with IE7.So that's really my problem.

If there's a workaround I would be much obliged.
