Visual Patch
-
Version
1.0
Indigo Rose's Visual Patch provides software
developers with a comprehensive solution for creating
secure full-history software update patches. Designed
for use on all 32-bit Windows platforms, these
compact, self-installing patch files can be
distributed on diskette or CD-ROM or sent via email,
web or LAN.
Unlike setup programs, which contain all of the files
needed to run an application, patches created with
Visual Patch contain only the files that changed from
the previous releases. Since users must have an
eligible previous version of an application installed
in order to make use of a patch, developers are free
to make patches available to everyone - on a public
web page, for instance - without permitting
unauthorized use of their software.
Visual Patch's point-and-click integrated development
environment visually indicates the differences among
product releases and automatically builds only those
changes into the patch. Developers will spend less
time preparing updates for distribution and more time
working on their software product.
Features of Visual Patch include full-history patching
to bring all in-field versions up to date using a
single self-extracting executable, a familiar "wizard"
style runtime interface, customizable dialogs, use of
key files and CRC-32 checks to ensure accuracy,
international language support, extensive system
editors including registry and shortcut icons,
conditions, variables and much more.
Indigo Rose provides software developers with tools to
manage the complete software deployment life cycle.
From multimedia application and CD-ROM front-end
creation using AutoPlay Media Studio to automated
Internet-based software installation, updating and
patching with Setup Factory, TrueUpdate and Visual
Patch, Indigo Rose offers an array of easy to use
solutions. Privately held, Indigo Rose has been
developing innovative software development tools since
1991 that are used by thousands of corporate,
government and ISV developers.
