If we "add" a new files they are of the same class of files as what we installed during the full setup. We don't "require" any new data from the user during the installation of the update release, we only want to add or update our existing binary and flat-files. Some clients would even like our update patches to occur silently once the user acknowledges that they would like to update to the latest release. We release a patch executable to some -but not all- clients sometimes 2-3 times per month. Our full Setup exe might have a name like Setup_v110000.exe and our patch updates might have a name like Update_v110100.exe. The only registry edit we do currently is to the HKLM so our app appears in the Add/Remove Programs control panel applet. Our app doesn't use Windows Services, Administrative Tools, or any significant registry edits. In other words, our app runs the full spectrum of install types. The installers of our product might be folks that are Administrators within the domain all the way down to normal limited (non-Administrator) users. Our company sells a product that is used by customers that may or may not use Group Policy (most probably don't) some customers are in big corporate environments but most are in smaller shops or indeed even single roaming users some customers might be on WinXP, Win 7 (32 or 64-bit) or Win 8 (32 or 64-bit).
