Creating WiseScript Installations
all versions to be updated by SmartPatch) is at least 85% of the size of the
complete file, the complete file is included rather than the patch. However, even
though the entire file is included in the installation, it is not installed unless the
end user has a valid copy of an older version of the file.
Maximum Memory
Determines how much memory the SmartPatch feature can use. SmartPatch is
very memory-intensive. Set this value to 2 MB less than the amount of RAM
installed in your computer.
Maximum Patch Compression
Mark this to compress patch files as much as possible. This takes extra time, so
leave this unmarked during development and testing, and mark it only when
creating your final distribution build.
Directory
This list displays directories on your computer that contain old versions of your
application that end users might have installed on their computers. SmartPatch
creates a patch file that updates any of these older versions to the most recent
version. The directory structures of each version must match exactly—only the
top-level directory name can be different.
To add a path to an old version of the software, click Add and specify the
directory.
To remove a path from this list, select it and click Delete.
