I include everything in the update, not just "updated" files. That way
you can have version 1 and you can still update to version 10 (or
whatever) I.e. my full install and my web install/update are
essentially the same, just one is in a single EXE, the other is on the
web and needs the SB web update thingamajigger to update I have used
this with both client software and my own, although with my client
software the update does NOT include a separate Crystal Reports
installer that only the full install includes. Other than that, it's
the same.

Best regards,
