InstallShield 2016 » Patch Design View » Patch Configuration
Project • This information applies to the following project types:
| • | Basic MSI |
| • | InstallScript MSI |
When you click a patch configuration in the Patch Design view, InstallShield displays several tabs. The Identification tab exposes settings for display strings. The display strings are used to populate information about the patch in Add or Remove Programs. It is also used by the Windows Installer 3.0 (and later) APIs that interrogate and catalog patches applied to a target machine.
Tip • Every time that you change the latest setup for a patch configuration in the Patch Design view, InstallShield uses the Add or Remove Programs information from the latest setup as the values for the Identification tab settings. You can override the values on the Identification tab as needed.
