The process is a bit mysterious based on the tutorials given.

A tutorial on how to create another patch that depends on the previous patch. So, for example, Patch 1 is the update and difference between the full install and the changes in Patch 1. When Patch 2 is created, Patch 2 will be the update and difference between the Patch 1 and the changes in Patch 2.

I've tried creating a patch using the MSI from Patch 1 and the MSI from Patch 2, both having the same the Product Code as the full install. But that failed (thread on that here). So if a tutorial could be created to show exactly how to do this, that would be very helpful.

Based on the tutorials given, if a user were to click on Patch 2, AI would know to download the full install and Patch 1 as well. Right?

Hello,

Let's consider the following example so we can better understand the concept of consecutive patches.

Let's say we have the following three versions of our setup:

- version 1.0.0

- version 1.0.1

- version 1.0.2

Now, let's say we create a patch between version 1.0.0 and 1.0.1.

When applying this patch to the installed 1.0.0 version, we will have the 1.0.1 version installed.

If we then want to create a consecutive patch, we will need to have the version 1.0.2 as the "upgraded image" and 1.0.1 as the "target image" (the next patch will need to be applied to the 1.0.1 version).

Hope things are clearer now!

Best regards,
Catalin
