Description
The ActivePatch control consists of two distinct
components, one for creating and applying individual patch files, and one for managing
patch packages. These components can be used by an application to create a patch of a
single file, or to create an update for a complete product, modifying existing files,
removing files that are no longer needed and creating the new files that have been added.
It is designed to work on both text and binary files of any type, including executables,
libraries, data files and documents.

ActiveX components must be registered during the
installation process or by using a component registration utility. The registration
process writes specific information into the system registry so that an application can
load and use the control. If an application attempts to use an unregistered control, it
will fail to execute and return an error.
