Configuring Patch Settings

InstallShield 2025

Project: This information applies to the following project types:

•

Basic MSI

•

InstallScript MSI

The best way to create and configure a patch is to use the Patch Design view. Before you work in the Patch Design view, you should have already built the projects for your earlier and later product versions.

Each patch designed in the Patch Design view begins as a patch configuration. A patch configuration consists of one latest setup item and one or more previous setup items. At the patch configuration level, you can configure properties on the following property tabs:

•

Common

•

Identification

•

Digital Signature

•

Sequence

•

Advanced

After you have set the patch configuration properties, drill down the hierarchy in the explorer, and configure the latest and previous setup items.
