AutoPatcher is an alternative to Microsoft’s Windows Update. It consists of a comprehensive collection of latest up-to-date patches, addons and registry tweaks collated into a single package. Users can just update their computers with AutoPatcher installation package in order to get their Windows operating system up to date. It is easy, quick and convenient. It requires no users once you have selected what to install.

The latest AutoPatcher was released on 20 August 2007. This released is based on the all-new AutoPatcher 5.6. It was made for Windows Vista 32 and 64 bit and is independent of the language of Windows Vista. That means that if you’re running a 32 bit version of Vista, you’ll only see the modules for Vista 32 bit (the same thing for the 64 bit version).

There are two surprises on this release:
1) Releases for Microsoft Office XP/2003/2007 are now complete and available.
2) AutoPatcher 5.6 now supports slipstreaming updates into installation media. The x86 releases have slipstream installation instructions added to most general windows patches.

So what is included in the August release?
