Building a patch / regular installation
Hi,
I have a situation like this:
I compile a solution that has projects a, b, c and d.
In the post build of every project I copy the dlls to the specific folders to build a resonable tree according to my applications.
you can see that there is an option that one application uses the same dll as the second application (like A and C that are using a.dll):
Folder A (first application)
a.dll
b.dll
Folder B (seconf application)
c.dll
Folder C (third application)
a.dll
d.dll
This is the tree of the folders in my installshield. I installed that version (version I) and now I have that tree in program files...
Now I want to make a patch. But I want a.dll in Folder A to stay as it was in version I, but in Folder C I want it to be a.dll version II (from a new compilation after changing the code).
How can I configure the regular installation and the patch to solve that problem automatically ?
thanks, Ido

Have you maintained different features for Folder A, B, and C?
If so, you can choose not to install Folder A feature while installating patch.
You can do this by mentioning the features (which you would like to install) in ADDLOCAL msi property.
