Windows Application

							Windows Application:

1. Copy patch application (patch.exe and patchw32.dll) Copy files to hard drive

Example: copy to C:\data\vdu\software\win\patch.exe and patchw32.dll

2. Download patches. Copy to hard drive

Example: C:\data\vdu\patch\win\gen13a.rtp

3. Copy DNC13 data from the DNC CD to the hard drive. This is your baseline data.

Example: c:\data\dnc13ed17_baseline\dnc13\gen13a

Applying the patch

4. Open the command prompt. Start > Run > keyin <CMD>.

5. Open explorer window and drag the patch.exe file into the command prompt window

Command line will look similar to this: C:\data\vdu\software\win\patch.exe,

The reason for dragging in the PATCH file is to keep the "absolute" directory path rather
than the "relative" directory path.

6. After you drag the PATCH command in the command prompt window press the space bar and drag the
library folder example "gen13a" into the command prompt window.

Command line will look similar to this: C:\data\vdu\software\win\patch.exe
c:\data\dnc13ed17_baseline\dnc13\gen13a

7. After you drag the library folder into the command prompt window press the space bar and drag the
individual library patch file (gen13a.rtp) into the command prompt window.

Command line will look similar to this:

C:\data\vdu\software\win\patch.exe c:\data\dnc13ed17_baseline\dnc13\gen13a
C:\data\vdu\patch\win\gen13a.rtp

8. Press enter and the patch will update the dnc library

*************************************************************

Below is the command syntax:

Patch.exe <Data_location> <Patch_file>

Patch = absolute directory path to patch.exe command (C:\data\vdu\software\win\patch.exe)

Data_location = absolute directory path to dnc library data (c:\data\dnc13ed17_baseline\dnc13\gen13a)
Patch_file = absolute directory path to patch file (C:\data\vdu\patch\win\gen13a.rtp)

NOTE: If you are going to appy an edition patch, redirect the location to patch to the /DNCxx level. For
example, use the following syntax:


C:\data\vdu\software\win\patch.exe c:\data\dnc13ed17_baseline\dnc13
C:\data\vdu\patch\win\dnc13.rtp
nc13.rtp
