Whats the correct procedure for continuous web updates?

[NewsArchive]

Hi Everyone

Does anyone know what the correct procedure is to do continous web updates?

What I've done is create a main install exe then 2 binary patch webupdates,
now a situation has arrived where a user has updated their machine but its
only downloaded and installed the last binary patch I created missing out
the changes contained in the first update.

The two webupdates are called webupdate1.exe and webupdate2, and to create
webupdate two I created another webupdate but used the first webupdate as
the original installation. Is this the correct thing to do or should there
only ever be one webupdate with1 binary patch?

Cheers

Hi Richard,

That's the cool thing about web updates. It downloads only what is
required.

You only need *one* webupdate.exe to power everything. For example, we
released around 25 builds for SetupBuilder 5. The one webupdate.exe was
able to individually update all released builds.

You have your initial installation project which installs the "base". Then
you have one web update project that only includes what changed.

Does this help?

Hi Friedrich

Yeah it does, I was thinking along the lines of MS where they release a
patch, then release another patch that updates the first type of thing but
have it working one as 1 base install and 1 webinstall.
