After install ,Autopatcher always show missing update - Critical Update - Update for Windows XP (KB951072 v2), but folder modules / critical / KB951072_xp_x86_enu.apm_files is empty.

Was in the middle of making some changes. Go ahead and update your pack again.

Again, after install Autopatcher show missing update. When I try to manually execute KB951072 v2 got a message:
Update cannot be installed as a newer or same timezone update has already installed on the system.
But way then Autopatcher show this update as missing.
Thanx.

The problem is that there are TWO versions of the KB951072 update available from Microsoft and they are not compatible with each other.

The detection logic in both packages checks the same registry key for the same value, so if one is installed, the other will not install.

You receive the message:

Update cannot be installed as a newer or same time zone update has already been installed on the system.

because KB951072-v2 will not install on top of KB951072.

AutoPatcher shows the update as not installed because it is ONLY checking for KB951072-v2 and not for KB951072.

Interesting.... My tests in the other OS's show that this update is alright when you update from the previous.

Went ahead and appended the detection logic from v1. Should be good to go now.

Now, its good for me.
Thank you.

Wierd!

If anyone is wondering, the difference between the two versions affects only Iran.
