You can find the updated AutoPatcher Updater here. In case you’re not familiar with AutoPatcher, it’s a wonderful program that slipstreams Microsoft patches and updates into a Windows XP distribution point or CD. I’d integrate the updates of my choice into a CD to use for my unattended Windows XP deployments.
Back in August Microsoft sent the AutoPatcher folks a cease and desist order. It seems Microsoft’s big contention was AutoPatcher was a method of circumventing Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA), their mechanism for ensuring pirated copies of their software were not able to download updates.
Ghacks.net has some nice screenshots of the AutoPatcher Updater interface.
