The idea is that you begin by designing a patch in your InstallShield project. The help topic Updating Applications > Upgrades Overview > Patching can help you get started.
Each patch you design has a configuration name, and you can build this patch configuration using the InstallShield automation interface, or the -patch_config switch to the command line build tool ISCmdBld.
I understand that this can be done something similar to ISCmdBld.exe –p "C:\InstallShield 2009 Projects\MyProject1\MyProject1.ism" -patch_config “Version 1.2”
But in Patch design section we need to specify the 2 msi files. 1 for the previous release and 1 for the latest release.
And i have exe files instead of msi files So with ISCmdBld.exe how i can associate these exe files.
It appears the "-p" you posted uses a special character (an en dash?) instead of a hyphen; this often happens if you copied the command from Microsoft Outlook or Word. Same applies to the curly quotation marks around "Version 1.2", which want to be straight quotation marks.
Perhaps type the command (instead of copying and pasting) and see what happens?
