QuickPatch Projects
Create Update.exe Specify whether you want to create an Update.exe update launcher for the current
QuickPatch package.
To learn when an Update.exe update launcher is required, see Patching
Considerations.

entry
To replace one or more earlier installed patches with the current QuickPatch, set this
property to the patch GUIDs of those patches, and separate each with a comma. For
example:
{C86838C9-DEDC-4451-B96F-94AFB9460F15},{C8633E5B-AC44-45d8-B487-
C68B3B1F60D6}
Setting this property is typically not required, even if you have several QuickPatch
projects in the History. However, if your QuickPatch project does not overwrite files
added in an earlier QuickPatch project, it may be necessary to set this property.
If you do not know the GUID of a patch that you want to replace, click this property and
then click the ellipsis button (...). Select the patch (.msp or .exe file), and InstallShield
will add the corresponding GUID to this property.
This setting enables you to build your QuickPatch package with an existing
UpgradedImage folder. To use this option, you must have built this package at least
once (so that an UpgradedImage folder exists). Setting this option to No builds the
package from the existing UpgradedImage folder. This lets you tweak the .msi package
in the UpgradedImage folder and use that .msi data in a QuickPatch project. Setting this
option to Yes (the default setting) regenerates the .msi file in the UpgradedImage folder
every time that the package is built.
Specify whether to automatically generate entries for the MsiPatchOldAssemblyFile
and MsiPatchOldAssemblyName tables, which allow a patch package that is running
under Windows Installer 3.0 and later to patch an assembly in the global assembly
cache (GAC) without making a run-time request for the original installation source. For
more information, see Patching Assemblies in the Global Assembly Cache.
Specify whether you want to use patch sequencing for your QuickPatch. A patch
sequence accounts for obsolete patches, superseded patches, and patches that have
already been applied to the product. The sequence specifies the order that Windows
Installer version 3.0 and later should apply patches to an installed product, regardless
of the order in which they are provided to the target machine. For versions of Windows
Installer earlier than version 3.0, the patch sequence is ignored, and any patches are
applied to the product in the order that they are provided to the target machine.
