So what makes PatchBreeze different?
First of all,
PatchBreeze is completely visual. You can see all files included in both old and new versions of your software immediately.
You know which files are to be updated, deleted or added by an update from the beginning, even before you start building your update!
Stop fighting with text configuration files which are many kilobytes long!
Create your updates quickly with just a few mouse clicks!
You are being worried about the size of updates produced by
PatchBreeze? No worries!
PatchBreeze incorporates one of the most powerful patch
producing algorithms in the world, working at a byte-level.
No matter what kind of files you are updating, executables or huge databases, in each case
PatchBreeze generates the smallest patch files possible.
And that is done in a reasonable time! Even if you create patches from really huge files, say CD images.

PatchBreeze has a native support for multiversion or cumulative patches. A single
PatchBreeze patch can update multiple installed versions of your software, document or database up to its latest version automatically!
You said compression? Each patch produced by
PatchBreeze is a solid, compressed, completely self-contained update installation package in a single .exe file!
After your update is ready all you need to do is to make it available for downloading by your customers!
PatchBreeze updates are user-friendly programs with a Windows standard Installation Wizard look and feel. You want to show your users a license agreement or release notes of a new version during the installation? No problem!
Want to be sure about the correct updating? Now, with
PatchBreeze, you have a 100% guarantee! A
PatchBreeze update performs the extensive integrity checks before, during and after its work. All the files that are to be changed or deleted get backed up firstly.
If you wish, a
PatchBreeze update can also simulate updating of files, without changing a single byte in them! You may be interested: what can happen if an error occurs during the updating?
The answer is simple - a
PatchBreeze update will revert all the changes it made and restore an old version exactly as it was. File to file. Byte to byte.
Say goodbye to erroneous or incomplete updates! Now they are either installed correctly or not installed at all!
That's not the end of the story, though. A
PatchBreeze update can even check the integrity of an old version before making any attempt to alter it!
Safety and reliability is our goal.
Automatic updates? Silent updates? Yes!
Keeping the log of all update operations? Yes!
A custom logo and an icon for the generated updates? Yes!
PatchBreeze updates work on any Win32-compatible system, including Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server and Windows Vista!
And the last but not least. The price. Compare our prices with the prices of other software updating solutions on the market.
