First install autopatcher to \autopatcher\apup make sure the subfolder apup is created. Now download the modified apup that works with reget and extract it to \autopatcher directory. Run the start.bat now the modified apup will download the files to the actual autopatcher folder and no redownloading files that you already have. Now run autopatcher and patch. Hope this helps others out there

Modified apup can be found here.

Ok apup is totally and utterly useless! After updating it says I have 144 updates that will take about an hour and a half! Man microsoft website says it has 93 updates and less than an hour to update! Or better yet Windiz updates that just updates what is really needed says 84 updates. So it seems that the new apup is no good because it downloads multiple copies of the same file and does not remove the old.. I had like 3 different versions of shockwave and flash and that is just an update over the August 2007 full autopatcher.

So looks like I may have to look into projectdakota someone mentioned here. Because now apup is useless as an updater to autopatcher and autopatcher is just about absolete now with the latest version downloadable as August 2007.

There's your problem, APUP isn't compatible with the old releases.

So why did I read in another thread to put apup into the autopatcher folder? And how is apup suppose to be run than because I had understood it to stand for autopatcher update.. aka apup. But if that is not the case than how is it suppose to work because I see no method to select what you wish to install or select with apup.

Don't know what you have previously read but here's how things operate.

Create folder \AutoPatcher

Download APUP. ZIP and extract it to the \AutoPatcher folder

Navigate to the \AutoPatcher folder and double-click on APUP.EXE

You will then be presented with a window listing the files/updates/patches/etc to be downloaded - put a check mark in the box/boxes you think appropriate, click Next, wait for the downloads to complete - could take over an hour depending on connection speed, click Finish when it appears.

(Some of these downloads are in languages other than English - select accordingly.)

Navigate to the \AutoPatcher folder and double-click the file AUTOPATCHER.EXE and wait to be presented with what could be a long list of updates/patches/upgrades/fixes/etc for your system.

Select those you want to install and clcik Next to allow AutoPatcher to install them. Follow instruction.
