Patch Creation
Hi
How to create standard patches in MSI projects? The patch should be installable and uninstalable too.
Thanks for help in advance,

Creating patches is fairly simple process if you plan and prepare properly.
Firstly create a full msi for your minor upgrade and test it thoroughly. This package should install properly everywhere.
Now in the Installshield IDE you can create a Minor Upgrade item in the
Media --> Upgrades --> Prepare Setup for Upgrade Scenarios.
You will have to provide the uncompressed msi packages of all old versions which you intend to patch.
Go through the following link:
