Updated products and Accumulated Hotfixes (Patches)
Features released in version 1.4.200
Patches are now supported for the products. This version supports the installation of patches (.msp) alongside their corresponding client installer files (.msi). The latest released patch for each client is now packaged along with the .msi in each new CDA release. Patches can only be installed alongside the .msi. That is the patching can't be done using CDA after the client has been installed. If you want to apply patch to a client that is different to the packaged one, the existing .msp file must be replaced by your new one, this is located in the client's installation folder under the Agent Installation Files folder in the CDA artifact. This must be done prior to launching the CDA installer. For more details, please refer to Using client patch files with CDA.
