Patching Local Installations

If you selected the Register MSI Package method at the registration of the MSI package that is to be patched, and intend to use the local install procedures that are registered in this case, you should proceed in the following way to create the patch procedure.

Note: In this case, there is no way to patch the product in the Software Package Library. Packages using local install procedures need to get a patch applied afterwards to be updated to the latest version.

1. Select the MSI item for which the procedure is to be created, in the Software Package Library.
2. Right-click the Procedures folder and select New, Added procedure with new files in the context menu.
3. On the General tab, provide a name for the procedure. The task should be Configure, the OS should be Windows 32-bit.
4. On the Added Files tab, browse to the .msp file. The type should be set to MSI file.
5. On the bottom three tabs that open for MSI files, you should select MSI method to be Patch Installation, on the General tab.

   There is no package field this time.

6. Click OK to finish registering the patch procedure.

You can now use this procedure to update the targets. For targets with the old MSI packages installed, it is enough to execute the new configure procedure. For new installations, both the local install procedure and the new configure procedure must be executed.
