patch and exe file

[tjwlsdkzzz]

Hi.

I have a problem making patch file.

first, I make 2 install file (Single EXE setup because I use prerequisites and pre-install updates)

And then I make patch file.
But when i make patch file, it's impossible.
when I make patch file, it require MSI file.

So, when i make exe file, how can i use patch??????

Hello,

In order to achieve what you want you should simply extract the embedded MSIs from your EXE setups. Just use the "/extract" EXE proprietary command to extract the MSI files and, then create the patch between your MSI files.

Also, please take a look on our "Creating patches" and "Patch Authoring" articles which should be useful for you.

All the best,
Daniel

Hello,

In order to extract the msi from exe follow the steps bellow:

1.Open the command line prompt

2.When you first start the Command Prompt, you will be located in your personal directory.
This is typically C:\Users\username\.Change it with the path where the exe package is located.

3.Enter the command:

Code: Select all

Your_exe_name.exe /extract:"C:\MyDoc"

This command will extract MSI file in the "MyDoc" folder.

Bogdan
