Description
Identifies the type of the impact as either a File or a Registry impact.
Note • Windows Installer Patches rarely impact Registry Entries, so most of the identified impacts will
be identified as File.
Description of how the Windows Installer Patch impacted with the package or OS
Snapshot. For example:
File 'CdrGfx.dll' in Package 'Coreldraw 12.0.0.458 v1.0' uses version 'Unknown'
of file 'SystemFolder\RPCRT4.dll', but Patch 'WindowsXP-KB828741-x86-
ENu.EXE' uses version '5.1.2600.1361'of the same file.
This warning message means that:
•
The Windows Installer
of
5.1.2600.1361 RPCRT4.dll
and
•
Corel Draw,
Coreldraw 12.0.0.458 v1.0
same operating system file:
Therefore, this warning message means that you should evaluate Corel Draw on a system
that includes this Windows Installer Patch to insure that you can safely distribute this
package within your enterprise.
Tip • The OS Snapshot serves as a representation of the underlying baseline system in your
enterprise. If you include an OS Snapshot in your Patch Impact Analysis, then the file version
information displayed in warning messages is derived from that OS Snapshot. If an OS Snapshot is not
included in the analysis, the file version information will be displayed as "unknown". As such, it is
recommended to include an OS Snapshot in your analysis because this allows a finer-tuned evaluation
of impacts based upon file and version information.
