    Creating Patches

    I have an app that I have distributed and would like to patch it. Can some one give me some guidance on the patching process or some articles to get me started? I haven't had luck on google.

    Hi,

    I cannot direct you to a link but I may get you start with few details..

    If you are to patch a distributed application.... .

    You got to develop the application in modules.. as and example you can
    replace a one DLL with a mutch effecient error free DLL later with a patch
    if you identified that the reported error is produced by that DLL.
    Or else you can add a patch to renew the core application (.exe) file as
    well. But in any case it is same as distributing the application at first,
    the only difference is you are replacing some errorneous modules with some
    new modules...
