Step 1 - Extract the patch file (.msp)

- Recommended: delete unnecessary files in the "temp" folder
- Click on "start," "programs," "WinWay Resume Deluxe," "Free Updates" and follow the procedure for downloading the free update
- While watching the "temp" folder, run the "free update" file
- Notice the creation of a new folder under the "temp" folder, with a name such as "{CDA194BC-26C0-4EFB-BAEC-552FFC6238F1}". This new folder will contain a "patch" file with extension ".msp".
- Copy the "patch" file to another location
- Exit the "Free update" application
Step 2 - Apply the "patch" file to the ".msi" file
- Locate the shared folder used for installing the application. The folder contains a file with extension ".msi", e.g. "WinWay Resume Deluxe.msi"
- Apply the patch (.msp) by running
msiexec /p <path to patch file (.msp)> /a <path to installation file (.msi) in shared folder>
