OverviewExamples
boolean MSI.ApplyPatch ( string PatchPath,
string InstallPackage,
number InstallType,
string CommandLine = "" )
De s cr ip t ion
Calls the MsiApplyPatch function to invoke an installation and set the PATCH property to the path of the patch package for each product listed by the patch package as eligible to receive it.
Note: You must set the REINSTALL property on the command line when applying a small update or minor upgrade patch. Without this property, the patch is registered on the system but cannot update files. For patches that do not use a Custom Action Type 51 to automatically set the REINSTALL and REINSTALLMODE properties, the REINSTALL property must be explicitly set with the CommandLine parameter. Set the REINSTALL property to list the features affected by the patch, or use a practical default setting of "REINSTALL=ALL". The default value of the REINSTALLMODE property is "omus". Beginning with Windows Installer version 3.0, the REINSTALL property is configured by the installer and does not need to be set on the command line.
