Ok, I'm new to this as well but haven't had any problems with it except one. I noticed in the advanced option you can customise but when clicked it says missing editor.exe from tool folder. Where can I get the customizing tools so I can make my own standalones.
Also can this be run from a customized Windows XP installation disc at the RunOnce Time frame.
Thanks,
James

you are right. this tool is in deed missing. but you still can create your own standalone modules by opening any .apm module with notepad and making your own modifications. just remmember: by default, the modules try run things that are in folders with the same name of the .apm, plus _files. if you have an module named AcrobatReader_ptb.apm, then your files to run shall be in AcrobatReader_ptb_files folder, unless you set something like this:
ModuleFolder=KB890830_files
into [Behavior]. my parent module to standalones is this:
that 1046 is the LCID. you may look into the module that you already have and take that lcid from there
for the modules, i do something like this:
that one is to install acrobat reader, of course. you may say that the version that this module install is obsolete, but in my language, there's no acrobat reader 9 yet. after all, takes a lot of time to translate a few things into another language and nobody had the time needed to do that yet
edit: i forgot this:

yes. you only need add an command to run autopatcher. but it may takes a lot of space and since we update it from times to times, may be an good idea keep it on hd or in an rw media

I went ahead and added editor.exe for AP5.6 in the tools folder. The next time you update the APEngine, you should receive this file.

Thank you Erik and Cristiano. I'll redownload and use examples above to try and make some.
Is there anywhere to post standalone modules for other people to use when done?
