Required information on Patch(msp)

Hello All,

Can anyone pls suggest me on what changes can be done with a patch?

I am required to create a patch some of the changes done to the original msi file. The changes done may include VB Script CA, some condition checks during installation by using properties. Modifications related to files have not been done.

Can my changes included in a patch(msp)?

Thanks.

A patch is primarily the difference between two MSI packages and any necessary cab files. As long as the changes exist in the MSI package itself the answer is "Yes".

In your particular case, the changes should persist in the MSI so everything should work.

Hi Bryan,

Thanks for the reply.

If i am required to create a patch with changes in the dialog sequence, Custom Actions included, property value changes, etc, I can go ahead and create a patch with all these changes included.. Am i right?

For your information, I am using msimsp.exe to create a patch.

Thanks.
