Patch Creation

Hi ,

We have server.exe & client.exe files for both server and client
methodology. These two files are common for both 32 & 64 Bit machines.

We need to create a patch file for our server.exe. If we click, Updates->Patch,
it requires msi files.

How do we create a patch file using our server.exe?

Thanks,
Raja

Re: Patch Creation

Hello Raja,

In order to achieve what you want you should use the "/extract"command-line option of the bootstrapper to extract the MSI file contained by the EXE. Also, you can build the related EXE file using the "EXE setup with resources next to it" package type option, from "Media -> Configuration" tab, and then use the generated MSI file.

All the best,
Daniel
