AutoPatcher was once a utility for downloading and installing Windows Updates without having to connect with Microsoft’s Update Servers. Users could also burn the updates on a CD and install it on multiple PCs, without having to download the updates over and over again. Unfortunately, Microsoft exterminated the project saying that users can only download updates from Windows Update Server.
The AutoPatcher Team has now made a comeback by releasing an early beta of a new utility called AutoPatcher Updater. This new beta gets around Microsoft’s restrictions by downloading updates for Windows and Microsoft Office directly from Windows Update Server instead of their own. Once the updates have been downloaded, you can install them by running AutoPatcher.exe. However, the new beta is a bit handicapped – you cannot make the updates portable by burning them on a CD, which makes it pretty much like the built in Windows Update.
