the release of PatchFactory v3.2 for Windows 98/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003 - a
new version of its professional software update solution.
PatchFactory provides software developers with a comprehensive solution
for creating secure full-history software update modules. Designed for
use on all 32-bit Windows platforms, these compact, self-installing
patch files can be distributed on a diskette / CD-ROM or sent via
email, web or LAN.
PatchFactory is new and innovative software updating and delivery
solution, ensuring that end-users always have the latest version of
your software or other all-important/critical data. PatchFactory
performs almost any updating task, including synchronizing files,
running an installer, updating your software, and even performing a
custom action to keep your customers up-to-date and to significantly
reduce your end-user support costs.
In its latest release, PatchFactory 3.2, AgenSoft developers have taken
a truly innovative approach making it possible not just to create one
patch for a certain software version, but also monitor all the software
products, product versions and version components that may have
different location on the end-user's machine. This innovation is based
on the advanced functionality of the new release that includes a
version tree, inheritance of properties within product versions and
difference manager.
The innovative patch building features include cumulative patching to
bring all in-field versions up to date using a single self-extracting
executable, comparing files with size up to 2^63 Bytes (~8589934592 Gb)
and flexible control under ratio "time/result" with the help of
different comparing methods selection.
Among the new patch applying features are customizable dialogs, a
familiar wizard-style runtime interface, use of key files and MD5
checks to ensure accuracy, international language support, silent
install and silent uninstall with no user interaction required, which
can be useful for system administrators and other programs calling the
Update Installation program, smart automatic version check to determine
the installed version, automatic Rollback at patch applying to
guarantee that the end-user's system is successfully updated and
Rollback / Uninstall of the update after installation.
PatchFactory v3 is priced at 345 EUR for a single developer (shareware)
license.
Commercial and Corporate licenses are available.
