Visual Patch is the easy way to make
professional-quality full-history
patches for your software and other electronic content.

Software patches are files used to
update the software already installed on a system. Patches modify or
replace the installed files to add new features, fix bugs, or add
support for new hardware. Unlike setup files, which contain all the
files needed to run the software, most patches only contain the
files that have changed from the previous version. Because of this,
patches offer a secure way to update your software. Users must
already have a previous version of your software installed in order
to make use of a patch. This means you can make a patch available to
everyone -- on a public web page, for instance -- without permitting
unauthorized use of your software.

Such open access to service releases
makes it easier for your users to keep their software up to date.
This helps minimize your need to support older versions of your
software.

Click for Full Size

Powerful, Flexible,
and Easy to Use

With the same ease of use and interface
style that has made Setup Factory
famous, Visual Patch lets you spend less time preparing your updates
for distribution, and more time working on your software. You'll be
free to update your software whenever you want, as often as you
want, knowing you can prepare a new patch for delivery in
minutes.
