Visual Patch makes quick work out of locating your target application. The toolbars, columns, sort-order, color-coding and other interface elements are fully customizable, allowing you to view only the information that is important to your workflow.

Visual Patch makes it easier for you to manage software releases enabling quick and easy adding, removing and managing program versions and also seeing all the details regarding your data.

Visual Patch can quickly locate the application files and folders on the system that require patching, using a flexible combination of starting-point techniques (current folder, registry keys, file/folder searches) and key-file identification.

Definitively identifying the target folder greatly simplifies the patching process and is a key requirement for ensuring that your software is updated quickly and correctly.

Features of "Visual Patch":

· Fast & Easy - Visual Patchs point and click design takes the difficulty out of building even the most sophisticated patches.
· Binary Differencing - Other tools can stall out on files as small as 40 MB. Visual Patch can make quick work of gigabyte sized files.
· DeltaMAX Technology - State-of-the-art binary differencing compression creates the smallest possible patch files in less time than ever before.
· Full-History Patches - Update any previous version of your software to the latest release with one patch file. Dramatically simplifies the patching process for users. Intelligent full-history patching algorithms can update multiple older versions to the latest release from a single patch file.
· Version Management - Quickly and easily add, remove and organize all your product versions using the drag and drop workspace. Makes it easy to manage all your software releases from one environment.
· Project Wizard - Walks you through the creation of a professional software patch complete with customized dialogs, multiple methods of version detection and rollback.
· Data Security - Unlike a full software installer, patch files contain only the data needed to update older versions - making them ideal for public website distribution. Data security and integrity is ensured through a combination of 128-bit MD5 hashing, CRC-32 checksums and encryption standards.
· Script Control - A powerful scripting engine with more than 250 high-level actions gives unprecedented control over the software patching system. Features everything from registry editing to web script interaction, file downloads and more.
· Customizable Interface - A library of over twenty different screens (plus graphical skinning system) makes it easy to control the user interface of your patches.
· Multilingual - A unique language selector is included on each screen dialog, making it easy to create multilingual user interfaces and modify translations at will.
· Silent Mode - Supports the creation of both fully-interactive "wizard based" patches or completely automatic "silent" patches.
· Authenticode - Codesign your patches with integrated support for Authenticode certificates signing.
· Unattended Builds - Visual Patch fits seamlessly into your automated build processes with features like build constants and pre/post build processes.
· Reports and Logs - Improved HTML-based project reports and text-based install-time log files give you an accurate record of your patch. New options let you control the level of detail being logged, including options for recording errors and script execution details.
· Themes & Skins - Choose from dozens of pre-made themes (skins) for your dialogs or make your own. Its as easy as viewing a live dialog preview and picking your favorite style. Configure everything from fonts and banner images to body/background graphics, control colors and more.

For a complete and fully integrated end-to-end solution, wed recommend using Visual Patch in conjunction with Setup Factory (software installation) and TrueUpdate (automated "check-for-update" feature).
