The Unofficial / Unsupported warning is normal, but not good, you want your release Official. The Unofficial part means one or more releases is failing due to any number of reasons, missing files, incomplete downloads, updated links from Microsoft, etc. The Unsupported part is not as much relevant today, it goes back to how the releases were origianlly distributed, so yes, your failing release is supported but the forums need more info, a log file for the failing release (I figure both are failing).
Start AutoPatcher, click About - Release Info, the Title in RED is the problem.
Now, run APUP, select only the failing release form the list of available scripts, let the download complete (wont take long), and post the log file in the proper forum, in your case, the XP log in the XP forum, and the 7 log in the 7 forum.
See http://www.autopatch...-apup-log-file/ & http://www.autopatch...es-please-read/ for info on how to create & post a log file. The short answer (if you know the tech end of things) is click "hit_this...cmd", Apup will start with logging enabled, when done, copy & paste the contents of "apup.log" (in \apup) in "Spoiler" code, each log in their repsective forums - don't edit the log and don't attach it with your post - use Spoiler code.

I'm updating all releases... MRT, Seven x86 and x64 are updated. Tomorrow I'll work on the others.

I'm getting the same. "Unofficial/Unsupported Release" in red inside the AP window, "Unknown Unofficial Release" in title bar.
In About/Release Info, the "Official" column reads "True" for all 7 modules:
AutoPatcher Common Modules
Microsoft Security Addon ENU
AutoPatcher for Windows XP SP3 (x86)
AutoPatcher Engine
.NET Framework Addon Pack (32-bit)
Extras
Microsoft Visual C++ SP1 SU Redistributable (with a space at the beginning of the module name)
So it looks like all modules are considered "official", yet the warning message shows in the AP main window.

@HerpDerp...a suggestion if I may...please try rerunning apup a second time and once completed check in autopatcher again.

That possibly means an extra file somewhere. I will test. Found the same thing... the error is between extra and common modules... I will weed it out shortly.
Edit: hmm... strange... both of them cause the unofficial state... but I don't see anything openly wrong. They have the right file count and apup would have flagged an md5 error.
Edit2: I have a partial answer but, I am not sure I like it. If you tell apup to download an autopatcher update... you will download an rti file for autopatcher and it will now make your installation valid for those two(extra and common). So something is wrong with the rti's for those two downloads. I will generate new ones and see if it fixes the problem.

Ok so after examining the code I found that the translation tables are checked for validity and it needs an rti file to tell it that they are good. So that is the only thing generating the unofficial status. All you have to do is ask apup to download autopatcher to get that rti file.
edit: as a side note I found something I forgot about...
if you run autopatcher with the command line:

Autopatcher.exe /verboseit will tell you why it went into unofficial status in the log file.

Uhm... I think that the real problem is:
Microsoft has remove these links... I'm searching new links (I hope to found them... otherwise, I'll remove it from Extra release).
Download Error: D:\APUp\apup\modules\AddOns\__Powertoys_xp_x86\HTMLSlideShowPowertoy_xp_x86_files\HTMLSlideShowSetup.exe
File size does NOT match. Expecting 426696, but found 1245!!!
Download Error: D:\APUp\apup\temp_bin\TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe
File size does NOT match. Expecting 150192, but found 1245!!!

Was going to make a suggestion to remove powertoys and tweakui as they are getting long in the tooth and would say that sooner or later Microsoft will start removing updates as the service life of the Windows XP operating system is getting closer to ending.

That is only part the problem.
Make a new directory and copy the files needed to run apup and autopatcher into it... don't copy any modules or rti files.
Download ANY download set you want except autopatcher update and then run autopatcher. You will see and unofficial status and if you look in releases it says what ever you downloaded was official. When you run autopatcher in verbose mode the log will print out a list of the translation files that are not official due to not having an rti file that says they are ok.
On one hand it is an excellent way to make sure files are never changed without our ok... on the other hand it can be annoying for anyone who deletes all rti files.

My bad...whatacrock awaiting kick in the butt from dkdk_it.
Have searched through Microsoft and not found a link to download from.
All references to it point the same direction so will have to say it's a goner..
Firefox can't find the file at http://download.micr...ertoySetup.exe.
