Hi there,

The story so far.
I have an application that gets installed properly. The application installs a .exe file and some dependent files in the program files\company name\product name folder.
I fixed some bugs in the application and created another installation file that replaces the existing binary to .old and copies the new binary in place.
When the user unistalls this "patch" the .old file is restored as the .exe file.

Now what i want to do.
Rectify the mistakes i made, in short.
I want to upgrade the application and the patch. In the process, uninstall the patch and copy a new binary.

What should be the best approach in such a scenario?

regards.
