QuickPatch Projects

InstallShield 2015

A QuickPatch project is a specific type of Windows Installer–based project recommended for installation authors who want to ship small, single upgrades to their end users. Each QuickPatch project has its own set of views.

Patch Settings View

The Patch Settings view contains links to several views:

General Information View—Enter information about your upgrade and the original installation. Specify which releases should be patched by the current project, and select which custom actions should be included.
Files View—Add files to your patch, and specify file-patching options.
Registry View—Specify which registry values should be changed or removed.
Path Variables View—Make your patch easily portable between development systems with variable-based file linking.

Additional Tools View

The Additional Tools view contains a link to the Direct Editor. Use the Direct Editor to edit the database tables directly.
