The pathcing feature in Installshield is misleading. The patches created is applied on the MSI, not the programs files(exe, dll,...) installed on the end user's machines.
The create a patch for that, u may try RTPatch

That's not accurate. A patch is generated from the difference between two MSIs. It modifies the installed files (your program, support files or anything else that you installed) and not the original MSI.
It is a transform that modifies an MSI directly so that when that MSI is used in the future it installs the upgraded version.
