Patch / Hotfix
Forgive my naivety as I've only just come across this product.

I'm looking for an extremely simple way to update a single file, previously installed using another system, that ignores product IDs and versions etc. I simply want it to check the location of the original install via the registry and then overwrite.

IS there an easy way to do this, and perhaps an example?

Thanks for any help.
Russell.

This is very easy with NSIS. Look at ReadRegStr in the manual, and look at NSIS\Example1.nsi for an extremely basic script example.
