Small update patch

[phainge]

Hi.

Can anyone tell me how to create a patch that installs a small update, i.e. one that just updates a few files but doesn't change the version number or product code? Being new to MSI setups I find it's not obvious from the help, and I can't find anything relevant in this forum.

Thanks.

Hi Peter,

Please note that the User Guide contains a patch tutorial which may help you. If you have any questions about this, don't hesitate to ask.

Hi Cosmin,

Thanks for that - I did look at the tutorial but it appeared to be geared towards a minor upgrade, rather than a small update, so are you saying that the same patch process will work for a small update that doesn't change the version number or product code?

Hi Peter,

The same approach can be used for a small update, except the Product Version is not changed in the upgraded package (Advanced Installer supports small update patches).
