3. Select two versions and click Compare.
Note
If you select only one version and click Compare, Software Manager compares the
selected version to the working version, which is the copy stored in the package's
source path, which is usually the scripts directory or the Projects directory under the
share point directory.
If there are differences between the versions, the comparison tool displays the
differences.
If there are no differences between the versions, a message appears saying
that the versions are identical.

Viewing a Version of a Package

If you are using Revision Control, you can view a copy of a current or previous version of
a .WVP file and most Windows Installer files. You cannot view .EXE files or patch files
(.MSP). Windows Installer files open in Windows Installer Editor and .WVP files open in
Virtual Package Editor. This is a convenient way to learn more about a version of a
package without having to retrieve or check out the version.
To view a version of a package
1. In the Applications/Packages pane, select a package.
2. Select Packages menu > Revision Control > History.
The Package Revision History dialog box appears.
3. Select the version and click View. If the outdated path variables message appears,
click Yes.
A copy of the version of the package opens in Windows Installer Editor or Virtual
Package Editor.
When you close the version of the package, the copy is deleted.
