The AutoPatcher project has been asked by Microsoft to stop operations. "Today we received an e-mail from Microsoft, requesting the immediate take-down of the download page, which of course means that AutoPatcher is probably history. As much as we disagree, we can do very little, and although the download page is merely a collection of mirrors, we took the download page down. We would like to thank you for your support. For the past 4 years, it has been a blast. Unfortunately, it seems like it's the end of AutoPatcher as we know it."

Sure, but what if the software downloaded them off the Microsoft website and built the installer afterwards. Only the software is being downloaded, no patches redistributed.
Besides, if it's open, the source is out there and it will live regardless of whom Microsoft email.
