I was wondering if anyone could provide me with any links or pointers for the
following story.
Foo.msi is a large ( 15,000 files ) installer that is currently build with
InstallShield and services via Major Upgrades.
Foo.msi's file comes from a couple dozen builds and the upstream build team
doesn't do incremental builds. All DLL's will be rebuilt with newer version
numbers.
The goal is to check pick files from the latest build and generate a patch for
the fielded build. I've read Peter Marcu's blog on patching installers you
didn't build with WiX and the part about doing an admin install, make a copy of
the extract and drop your files in seems to be close to what I'm looking for
but
it was pretty light on details.
Has anyone ever done this? What I'm trying to do is somewhat like
InstallShield
QuickPatch projects only I want to do alot more automation then IS (seems to)
allow.
Thanks,
Chris

Virtualization is moving to the mainstream and overtaking non-virtualized
environment for deploying applications. Does it make network security
easier or more difficult to achieve? Read this whitepaper to separate the
two and get a better understanding.
