Previous Setups

InstallShield 2025 » Patch Design View » Patch Configuration » Latest Setup

Project: This information applies to the following project types:

•

Basic MSI

•

InstallScript MSI

Each patch configuration in the Patch Design view must contain at least one latest setup and one previous setup in order for you to create a patch. If your patch will target multiple earlier versions of your product, ensure that each target image has its own previous setup item.

For example, if your company supports versions 1.0 and 1.1 of an application, you may want to create a patch that will upgrade both of these applications to version 2.0. To create a single patch to update both versions, you would add V1.0 and V1.1 as previous setups to the latest setup. Your latest setup would contain V2.0.

When you click a previous setup item in the Patch Design view, the following tabs are available:

•

Common

•
