Specifying Identification Information for a Patch

InstallShield 2020

Project:This information applies to the following project types:

Basic MSI
InstallScript MSI

Windows Installer 3.0 and later adds an Add or Remove Programs entry for each patch that is applied to a target system, even if the patch is not uninstallable.

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.

To specify identification information for a patch:

1. In the View List under Media, click Patch Design.
2. Create a patch configuration if you have not already done so.
3. In the Patch Design explorer, click the patch configuration.
4. Click the Identification tab.
5. Configure each of the settings.
