How to Creat patch or simple update .exe file?

[the gridlock]

Hello, I used the advance installer to create my software installation package.
Right now I have a problem that needs help.
I need to create an .exe file for patch or update (free) purposes, it only includes a few .dll files, when installed I want it to overwrite the old file.

basically, I want the user after clicking -> the program will run and replace the old .dlls
These files are downloaded manually (not via the web Link).

What's your simple solution? Please show me the way!

Thanks you!

Hello and welcome to our forums,

Please note that what you have described is the default behavior of a major upgrade:

- the older version is uninstalled

- the newer version is installed

In order to enable a major upgrade, all you have to do is:

- go to "Product Details" page and increase the version, e.g.: 1.0.0 --> 1.0.1

- build the project

- when asked about chaning the ProductCode, select "Generate New"

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Catalin
