Generally true. There's some overhead in the delta patch itself, of course, and binaries other than executables might not "delta-ize" nicely. I recently built a patch that included a ~15MB file (non-PE). It was smaller to create a full-file patch that was then compressed in the embedded CAB. If you ever target multiple products in a single patch, delta patches will probably be bigger than full-file patches. They also carry a high cost in terms of build time, though install time is only mildly affected. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
