Title: minimal upgrade patch
Hi all,

I’m trying to do a minimal upgrade patch for my application. For some context, a minimal upgrade is an installation of only the files that have changed between two releases. I have a diffing script that will produce a package containing only the changed files, however, when I run the package, the old app is entirely replaced by the minimal app. I want to install the new files over the old app in such a way that the older files are replaced by the newer ones without destroying the whole install. I think what I’m trying to do is an upgrade installation, but I can’t seem to force that to happen. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Everette
