Minor Update to Target RTM Version (MSI 3.1 Required)įor QuickPatch projects, you're correct that the setting for the version relationship isn't exposed.

#Nups patcher the patch does not match the file Patch

You will likely want to use a particular flag in your patch configuration since this will clear out previous patches from the View of the MSI when applying your "Big" update: In a Quickpatch, the 'Always Overwrite' setting is assuming that the target file is unversioned, and it just gives it a version of 1.0.0.0 instead of 65535.0.0.0 like in a regular MSI project.Īs far as "Conflicts", there's not really much in the way of conflicts that I'm aware of, at least with the new style of quick patches (the old style created new subfeatures and components, which had some limitations). You really want to be using the latest version of InstallShield because you get "Best Practice" dynamic file links (which avoid breaking component rules when automatically creating new components), and as well the new style of Quickpatches that also avoid some of the weird behaviors that can cause problems. Where possible, you want to try and use the Patch Design view, since this will make things easier when trying to exercise very precise control over what's going on during the build process of your patches. So bear with me if this post seems long-winded. Patching is easily the most complicated thing you can do with Windows Installer. (This would also be a heck of a lot easier if there were Automation support for Quick Patch, but there isn't.) Is there a way to do that with Quick Patches? If I could tell it to ignore the build number, I wouldn't have to rebuild that QA Quick Patch every time we rebuild the MSI's. When doing a Patch Design patch, there's a setting in there to tell it what piece of the version number of the product you're patching to match against, all 3 pieces (major, minor, build) or just the first 2 pieces, or just the major number.

That means that every time we rebuild the msi, we have to also rebuild this QA version of the Quick Patch for the data files, even though the files in that Quick Patch haven't changed (remember, they're marked as always overwrite so they still contain the full files). When we do that, we bump the minor version (3rd digit) of the.

#Nups patcher the patch does not match the file software

The issue is that during a development cycle of each bi-monthly release, we rebuild the installs (.msi's) for the software each week to pick up new programming changes. So I'd have a special Quick Patch of these files just for our QA people. These are the same files, just with different values. When we're testing the upcoming big bi-monthly release, our QA people have special versions of those data files that they put in so calculation results from the software match specific test cases in their regression testing. My second question is in regards to these small updates for the data files. So my first question is, will that work okay, doing Quick Patches for those "small" unversioned updates between the big updates, then doing a Patch Design type patch for the "big" update every 2 months? Any conflicts between Quick Patch patches and Patch Design patches? My thought is to do a quick patch that does not change the version, even the minor version (3rd digit), and the files are marked as Always Overwrite in the patch. (Like interest rates and the like.) I'd like to do Quick Pathces for these. The software does financial calculations and we update some of the data files that the software uses as a basis for the calculations so we stay current with the market. The next part of this though is that several times between these bi-monthly "big" updates, we do "small" updates. I'd use the "Patch Design" view to build a patch. That part of it I think is relatively straight forward.

#Nups patcher the patch does not match the file download

Thus, I'm looking to "patch" updates for users who already have the previous version installed so they only have to download the patch rather than the full package. But we're moving from a CD-ROM based distribution to an electronic download distribution, so we want to reduce the size of the files required to download for those updates. Today we just always deploy a full package every time to update it. I guess technically it corresponds to a "minor" update in InstallShield/MSI terminoligy.) (I don't want to say "major" updates because they aren't "major" in the sense of what a "major update" means to InstallShield and MSI, so I say "big". We've got software that we do big updates to every 2 months. We've been doing this for years by other means but I'm trying to convert this to fully InstallShield and MSI based. Hopefully I can explain this well enought to understand.

No, no, please never stop! I loved reading that and it's all true, lmao. I always seem to find the 'con that needs some quiet company or something I can do to help. I'm also 100% Going To Climb On Tallest Thing. Especially if it is a bot. Ratchet is the only Autobot I like. I taunt Ironhide, his frustration is too fun. Optimus is Tall Thing, not Autobot. The other 'cons finally realize I'm not their secret when I scramble out of Starscream who just went on a flight and... 1/2 - Optical Admirer

... climb onto Megatron in the middle of a meeting after avoiding Starscream's attempt to corral me to his berth. All of them try to stop me and freeze when they realize it is Too Late. I'm on Megatron's head. Then Megatron notes that QuickPatch is his squishy. Starscream mutters that HideFlight is my name, not QuickPatch. An argument ensues between a lot of them over which name is mine. 2/2 - Optical Admirer

Ahhh , that’s too cute!

Omg these are all such potential disasters.

Optimus has never been so close to so many frothing Decepticons aiming every single weapon of their arsenal at him without being actively captured or damaged in some way.

He’s just kind of quietly marveling at the moment while his troops are shaking apart with stress in a corner. Maybe also whispering pro-Autobot propaganda to you even tho you haven’t processed a single word he’s said as meaningful speech.

Eventually someone will start a betting pool on whether you understand he’s sentient, but no one’s sure who it was.

The Decepticons are just daring him to move while you’re eyeballing the top of his head speculatively. Megatron has been personally screaming threats and demands across a comm link while completely ignoring all of Optimus’ tired and reasonable reassurances like ‘Megatron, why on earth do you think I’d crush a human? You were there when I cried over that ant hill, right?’.

When the worst kept Decepticon ‘secret’ came out, Starscream had tried trapping you against his berth with an energon cup and a holopad like a goddamn spider. And you saw the set up he intended to leave you in- blankets? Stuffed animals?? No high places at all??? Measures had to be taken.

So you switch bots. Right in the middle of the meeting to make that statement pop. Look guys, you say without speaking, look at how much I don’t want to hang out with Starscream. Better think about that before trying to trap me on a hatefully low surface.

“Hideflight, no!”

Megatron watches with wide optics as you scamper up his arm like a mountain goat. He doesn’t know why you’ve so foolishly revealed yourself to his incompetent minions, but he’s already automatically placing you on the relatively level top of his helm. You do love napping there while he sketches out battle plans.

Just to be safe, he switches off the PowerPoint projection he had blown across every screen in the base and instead selects a digital file with a close up image of your face from his memory banks.

Your fleshy pink face is smudged with grease and you’re mid sentence and smiling cheerfully, jabbering about how pretty his red eyes are while carefully searing frayed wires off for him. It is a most pleasing image, one he believes highlights his pet’s finer qualities.

“This is QuickPatch,” he growls out, danger putting an engine edge in his announcement, “She is mine and unless you’d like your miserable lives to end right now in the middle of a monthly maintenance review you will not-“

“He means to say Hideflight is her designation,” Starscream mutters across the basewide speakers.

Soundwave finally has a proper target for his frustration, he rounds on Starscream, “Incorrect. Gadget has already been successfully programmed to respond to her true designation.” He’d spent so many small sugary human treats in pursuit of that endeavor.

“Her designation was Thunderdash first!” Thundercracker snapped.

The ensuing argument lasted three days, you couldn’t care less but played along anyways because the bribing was truly outrageous.

You secret nest exactly way too high up in the base now has fairy lights, twenty pounds of scrap metal, and three Cybertronian engineering textbooks.
