Check for files to be patched

[Jorge Alejandro Lavera]

Hi,
How can I make the installer to check the files to be patched before the actual patching begins? (sort of like Clarion do with their hotfixes).
I'm new to scripting, so if you can point me to an example, the better.
TIA,
Jorge Lavera

Jorge,

Because SB5 is script based now, the installer engine cannot check the files before the patching process begins. But we have included a "magic" Delayed File Install function.

Please put "Start Delayed File Install" and "Stop Delayed File Install" script functions around your files (not documented yet). It applies the patch into a temporary folder and, if this process completed successfully, overwrites the files.

HTH,

WORKS GREAT!!
Thank you, Linder. I reduced a 21 Mb install file to just 6 Mb.

Keep the great work.
