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...

You may want to look at the Updater Application Block from Microsoft

Anthony Baxter, our ever-diligent release manager, mentioned this past week that Python 2.3.5 will most likely come to fruition some time in January (this is not guaranteed date). This means that in order to have enough time to proper evaluate new patches and bugs they must be reported **now**! A one month lead time is necessary to properly look at, test, and commit patches, let alone coming up with solutions to any reported bugs. ...

Folks To make a long story short Office 2000 security patches are *not* included in the Microsoft Update. Although you can find them in the rather unobtrusive Office Update.

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
