ActivePatch is a software development kit that enables developers
to create their own update in the form of a patch, and integrate the
patch application process directly into their own software. Unlike
other products, ActivePatch does not simply create incremental
updates and re-package the files. It is designed to work on both
text and binary files of any type including executables, libraries,
data files and documents. ActivePatch can be used to create a patch
of a single file or an update for a complete product, modifying
existing files, removing unneeded files, and creating the new files
that have been added. |

ActivePatch is a software development kit that enables
developers to create their own update in the form of a patch, and
integrate the patch application process directly into their own
software. Unlike other products, ActivePatch does not simply create
incremental updates and re-package the files. It analyzes each file
at the byte level and determines the best method for updating the
target file on the user's system. It is designed to work on both
text and binary files of any type including executables, libraries,
data files and documents. ActivePatch can be used to create a patch
of a single file or can be used to create an update for a complete
product, modifying existing files, removing files that are no longer
needed and creating the new files that have been added.
ActivePatch is available as a standard dynamic link library (DLL)
and an ActiveX component, and can be used with virtually any
Microsoft Windows development language or scripting tool. The
ActivePatch API is designed to be simple enough to easily integrate
into existing products, as well as offer a great degree of power and
flexibility. ActivePatch comes with sample programs written in
Visual Basic and C++, and includes utilities that simplify the
creation and application of patches. |

ActivePatch is a software development kit that enables
developers to create their own update in the form of a patch, and
integrate the patch application process directly into their own
software. It can be used to create a patch of a single file or an
update for a complete product, modifying existing files, removing
unneeded files, and creating new files that have been added.
Using ActivePatch has a number of important advantages over the
common methods of software re-packaging or incremental updates:
Reduces the size of an update. ActivePatch analyzes the original
and updated file at the byte level, generating the smallest size
patch file required to perform the update.
Faster update creation and distribution. Unlike re-packaging or
creating incremental updates, generating a patch does not require
the developer to create another program or modify an existing script
(such as an InstallShield installation script) for each update that
is released.
Improved technical support and customer satisfaction. With the
ability to easily generate patches for updated software, there is no
reason to keep customers waiting for the next version.
Lowered media and distribution costs. The ability to distribute a
small patch, rather than re-packaging the complete product, can
significantly reduce the costs associated with creating and shipping
media.
Complete integration with the application. The ActivePatch SDK
allows the developer to fully integrate the patching process within
the application.
Safety and security. The patching process is designed to be
completely safe, committing the update only if no problems are
encountered during the process. Because a patch consists only of the
changes to a file, it requires that the user actually have the
software installed on their system, and can help protect against
illegal distributions of updates for your software.
