Previous Setup |
Specify the installation (.msi file or Setup.exe file) that needs to be patched to update it to the latest version of your setup. Because the patch-creation process requires an uncompressed release, you will be prompted for a location to decompress the previous version, if necessary. Caution:Keep the following in mind when specifying paths. You cannot decompress setups that span multiple disks from a local or network drive. You will need to find an alternate method of decompressing the setup. |

Ignore Missing Files |
If any files that are included in two separate versions cannot be found in a more recent version, then the files will be excluded from the patch package unless they have changed in the later version. The advantage of ignoring the files is that only the modified files need to be added to the package. A complete setup image is not required if you choose to ignore missing source files. |
