[APP] Patch Generator v0.1

Hello everyone,

I wanted to upgrade my UniServer installation to the latest version, but there was no patch, so I had to reinstall the whole server and reconfigure everything again. It was pretty painful and time consuming, I must admit.

So I have decided to make a patch generator. Took me almost whole day to make. Yay! Here is the first working version.

Uniform Server - Patch Generator v0.1

Script by Crypton. For The Uniform Server Community.

----------------------------------------------------

 

How to make a patch:

Simply put the downloaded installation archives that contains the old and new version of UniServer

(e.g. Coral_8_5_5.exe and Coral_8_5_7.exe) to the "coral" subdirectory and then run "generate.bat" file.

 

Wait till it says it's done. It should output one .exe-cutable file (e.g. UniPatch_v8_5_5-8_5_7.exe), which is the patch.

 

Before you apply the patch:

Make backups! Always backup the whole UniServer directory before applying the patch. You never know what can go wrong. Really.

 

TODO:

-Automatic backup and uninstall.

-Improve the installer. It's pretty simple right now.

 

Changelog:

v0.1 - First version. No changes actually.

It's using nsis, PatchGen and 7zip, so all the thanks goes to the authors of those apps.
