The problem is that you never know what version the "home" machine is on.
And web update only downloads what is required for a specific machine.

Example: your latest web update installs version 1.5. One "office" machine
is on version 1.3, another machine is on 1.4. Web update brings both
"office" versions to 1.5. Let us assume, the "home" machine is on version
1.2. How to handle this situation?

For our SetupBuilder products, we provide both "full" and "web update". If
a customer has to update his SetupBuilder version on a machine that does not
have an Internet connection, he can use the full install image to bring his
product to the latest build (without having to do a full install). The full
install image detects the previous version and switches into "maintenance
mode". See attached screenshot.
