I can create a patch where there is a difference between the old and the new msi. Then I use the patch created on a previous client. When ever there is a patch available, its an incremental patch, so I have to install ie:
patch A, then patch B and then patch C in sequence. If I was on Patch A, and then did not install any updates and the product has reached patch H, is there a way to build the patches together so that the patch includes all fixes from Patch A to Patch H? So that I only install patch H over patch A.
There is a patch family option I can see, how do I use this?
The Previous Setups node in the Patch Design view is where you specify which previous versions are targeted by the new patch. If you are creating patch H and end users should be able to apply it to target systems that have any previous patch, you would add a new subnode under the Previous Setups node for each previous target version.
However, if you want to require that end users should install each patch (patch A through patch G) before installing patch H, the Previous Setup node for patch H would contain only patch G.
