HOw can i create patch

I m using installshield 12 for creating application installation. I know how to create patch between 2-releases, but now the issue i have the release whose version is 1.5.002.09 and then i have Quick Patch (i.e. created directly by simply defining files to change) which is 1.5.002.10, now i have to create Patch between builds 1.5.002.10 to 1.5.002.11. How can i do this?

I have tried one more way to achieve the same thing i created the patch between 1.5.002.09 to 1.5.002.11, but the issue is system gives an error when i try to run it on 1.5.002.10 (Not an appropiate version).

Note: For patches installshield require to have both build are in uncompressed version. Thats the issue i dont have uncompressed version of 1.5.002.10 because it is Quick Patch.

Hi Faisal Ahmed,

This forum is for Windows Installer and ClickOnce. Question about InstallShield, you can post on InstallShield forum for better response.

Since InstallShield is Windows Installer based tool, we can create path with the tools in Window Installer SDK, such as Orca, Msimsp, Patchwiz.dll and so on. Here are the detailed steps to create patch files, which may help you
