Creating a QuickPatch Project for an Existing QuickPatch

InstallShield 2013

Project: This information applies to QuickPatch projects.

You can create a new QuickPatch project based on an existing QuickPatch project. This creates a patch that you can deliver to any end users who need to apply a patch for the original application or specific patched versions of the application.

Caution: If you open and modify any of the releases listed in the History area of the General Information view, your latest project will not work, since intermediate data shared across the releases in the History may have been lost or altered. Therefore, whenever you create a QuickPatch project for an existing QuickPatch project, InstallShield changes the existing QuickPatch project (.ism file) to read-only mode.

To create a QuickPatch project for an existing QuickPatch project:

1. In InstallShield, open the QuickPatch project (.ism file) that you would like to patch.
2. Open the General Information view.
3. In the General Information explorer, click History.
4. Click Create Next Version.

Your new QuickPatch project opens in InstallShield.

You can also use the Create New QuickPatch Wizard to create a QuickPatch for an existing QuickPatch.
