OK so I've been out of the game for quite a while now, mostly focusing on college.

I moved to Windows 7 x64 about the time when the RC1 came out, and stayed on the same train. Now i have latest Win7 x64 UE.

My question is : Does the AP download all the neccessary updates for the Win7 even if its being run from fully updated win7 system or do I need to run it on clean system (lets say fresh installed via VMware) to be able to detect all the neccessary updates?

Is x64 win7 supported?

Uhm... I think YES. I've not tried on an upgraded system but only on clean installed on VMWare or real machine.

YEP! Fully supported.

AP downloads everything no matter what updates are on the current system.. if the updates are compatible with the module you download that is

I was just comparing my update directory that i had before using autopatcher and i'm sitting at 30 updates vs AP's 18.. MSU files only that is so i figure'd you guys weren't finished. That list included the missing updates

OK... I'll include all public Windows 7 hotfixes.
I'm working... meantime I have updated both Seven release with March 2010 Patch Day patches.

Ok ty guys Just finished downloadind all of the updates.

Why arent DirectX, .NET, Java and other packs considered available releases for Win7 by APUP?

They are neccessary as far as I know... right?

Well I am off to start making a new AIO install disc of Win7 from scratch... god help me

Are you saying you don't see the releases listed in your APUP releases window, or are you asking why are they not included in the
Win 7 script, or is this a detection issue?

Any release that is compatible with Win 7 will be updated to include the proper detections so the package will load in AutoPatcher
when run from a Windows 7 system, and will likely be a separate download - hang loose, the project is moving forward, there is a lot
of work to do and only a few people doing it.

yep. for sure, there's a lot of things to do in order to make the modules load in seven. just for the .net package, almost all updates has to be checked to see if the description has seven compatibility , then update the module, etc. and that will take some time yet. the directx module already works with seven, but the .net package wasn't updated yet. also, some modules at the extras script already works with seven, but i didn't checked them all. yours know, when there's a lot of job to do, you have to set some priorities. right now, the prios are keep the current scripts up-to-date. then, add compatibility to the new ones. but yours know, one by one, will take some time yet...

I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium right now. I wouldn't mind updating modules here and there if you don't have any objections...

I used autopatcher for windows 7 yesterday. Everything works. I would like to say thank you very much for a new update. Good job! Please keep up your good work.

Thank you very much again and have a wonderfull day.

@erik: by me, no problem. but Domenico is handling seven (and it's a lot overloaded due that). i was supposed to help him, but due an health problem that i had (let's say that in the last couple of years, i was awaking at least 20 times each night), i'm currently unable to buy another machine so soon

so please, talk to him. i believe that he will gladly accept some help

No, I mean they are listed, but the boxes are not ticked by default.

Anyway I dont think .NET, directX and java will be problem, I use same as for Windows XP,

I also installed x64 versions of Java and .NET but as far as I know they are useless since I heard x64 apps use x32 java e.g., cause they are not really x64 native 100%

Unless something has changed the default selections will always be Updater (apup.exe), Engine (autopatcher.exe) and native OS.

Once you use the Options in APUP (remember selections) the selections will be ticked when APUP is run a second time.

The Java is based on the browser you use - 32-bit browser / 32-bit Java - 64-bit browser / 64-bit Java -> More Info!

Yeah then all is OK
