I am using visual studio web project to install my web application and do some customization like modifying connection string in web.config file during install time.
Now, My requirement is to create a patch for the web application so that next time the web installer only the changed files.
Is there is any one to do it using visualk studio 2010 ide or any other way.We can’t use third party products like Installshield,wix,innosetup etc.
Please suggest.
Visual Studio doesn’t support patches for setup projects. It supports only major upgrades.
If you really don’t want to use other setup authoring tools, you can try creating the patch manually. You can read more about this here:

But it won’t be easy.
