Just in case no-one has reported it yet, seems to be a problem with the .apm files for the latest security hotfixes as they do not show up in Autopatcher under XP Home - WindowsVersion is set at XP pro only, and RegistryPath is empty. Checking MS knowledgebase shows all these fixes apply to XP Home as well, so not deliberate? Apologies if already sorted.

thanks for your report

done. xp enu modules to allow the august updates run in xp home too. can you please check if there's any other update that should run under xp home too and isn't by some reason?

These are all that I found:

From file:

-> wmp_enu_critical_20090816.7z
... KB973540_xp_x86_enu.apm

-> windows_xp_sp3_enu_critical_20090816.7z
... KB970437_xp_x86_enu.apm

Also, you might want to fix the title for,
... Title=Security Update for Windows XP (KB961371 v2

KB961371 was fixed after my lunch, during the fix for xp home. the other 2 was fixed a few minutes ago, thanks. according to effective file search, the tag restricting modules only to xp pro doesn't exist anymore in xp enu. the august updates was checked for missing updates and it seems ok. for xp sp3, there's only 2 possible versions for rdp and booth are included. there's some discussion about those because somethings doesn't make sense about those, but they are in there. also, kb973869 replaces MS05-013 (KB936782) and this one was set to be removed. also, the release was signed and old preactions older than June was removed.

now, since those modules was a template for the ptb release, fix this one too...

Thanks chaps, guess I must be the only one with XP Home ??!!

[Cristiano]

well, i do have one license for xp home, but i never activated it. booth of my machines are running xp pro sp3 oem and i still have 1 or 2 extra licenses. it would be 2-3, but i've forgot that one is at my ex-wife computer... as for test it in the field, it happened this month and i still didn't had time to test it in xp home (you know, i don't run it. so, in order to test this one, i need reach xp home in my clients). since last week, i'm only working only with hardware/viruses problems and that doesn't require run autopatcher... but that is the very reason why people like you should report any issue found. we may not have every single system, you know...

again, thanks
