    No, I meant when I ran Autopatcher to download the updates. The download link still worked.

    Hmm, it seems to start running now, but it errored out for me earlier. Maybe it was my network connection. I don't want to download 1GB of updates again, but it seems like it's connecting now.

    OK, the program installed the 2nd time and it had 2 windows, 1 for D/L Updates and 1 for installing them. But I already have all previous updates except the telemetry and nags.

    What exactly is this program doing? I should have asked before I installed it. I'm going to check at MyDigitalLife and get back to you.

    Which program are you talking about? You don't have to install either of them. You just run the .exe.

    You can download the updates to save for another install (like a clean install of Windows), or you can check for which updates you are missing.

    I was referring to AutoPatcher.zip, which had to be unzipped to install. It wouldn't install the first time around, giving me an error message.

    I'm waiting to see what happens on Tuesday.

    It's worked with the first Update after ESU:

    I would feel more confident using this than Opatch. I have nothing to lose. I have a 4th machine with more advanced hardware, and it will run 7 for quite some time.
