Publisher's description of PatchFactory

From AgenSoft: Full-featured byte-level patching system for bandwidth-efficient software updating. PatchFactory provides a robust feature set that gives the ability to tailor the update process to their specific needs and to reduce end-user support costs. The patch building engine is an innovative standard for producing version-to-version or cumulative software updates even for Gigabyte-sized files contained in a small, reliable self-installing patch package. 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/uninstall with no user interaction required, smart automatic version check to determine the installed version, support for passworded and encrypted installs, 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

  Comprehensive solution for patch building and maintenance!

  by: Freeny on 13-Dec-2005 01:20:35 AM

  Pros: PatchFactory v3 appears to have enjoyed a ground-up re-write. The user interface now sports an Outlook-style appearance (treeview on the left and a detail pane on the right).

  PatchFactory v3 now has a lot of new functionality; I had to work around this new functionality. It now supports a much more complex patching model; this too had to be understood before a simple demo could be created.

  Authors have targeted the pricing at an appropriate level - it seems that they have listened to public opinion surrounding pricing structures, which seem to be rather emotive. So if you are a small company, you pay less than larger corporates, which seems fair. The company also provides excellent and prompt customer service.

  The HTML Help file weighs in at 315KB and brings with it full coverage of PatchFactory v3. The help system is detailed, offering scenario-based walk-throughs and wizard-like step-by-step approaches. Flash demo is also available from the author's website.

  I am pleased to recommend PatchFactory v3. It is a solid product that is robust in use and does what it says it will do, and it does it well. If you are looking for an application patching solution, do consider PatchFactory v3!
