Binary Patch

Post by DarExc »

Hello,

We install an application that along with all components is about 120MB's. We made small changes to a 70MB's of the files in delphi and built a patch but the patch is 10MB's, the original install is 20MB's. Is the patch a binary comparison of the original install or a binary comparison of the original files in the install to the changes made in the new files in which case the patch size should be much small for us.

Thanks,

The patch contains only the binary differences with original install ... so seems correct.
