Modifying Patch References

You may include one or more patch references in your project. Patch references are links to older installations of your products that you wish to create binary patches against.

You may only add InstallAware EXE and MSI packages as patch references. Patching against setups built with versions of InstallAware older than InstallAware 2005 is not supported.

  1. Display the Project Manager.
  2. Select the Patch References node in the tree view.
  3. Right-click and choose Add Patch Reference to Project, or press INSERT. Browse to the setup packages you wish to add.

  2. Select the Patch References node in the tree view.

  4. Right-click your selection and choose Remove Patch References from Project, or press DELETE.
