The PatchFiles action queries the
Patch table to determine which patches are to be applied. The PatchFiles action also performs the byte-wise patching of the files.
Sequence Restrictions
If the file that is to be patched is not installed, the PatchFiles action must come after the
InstallFiles action that installs the file. Previously installed files may be patched at any point in the action sequence. The
DuplicateFiles Action must come after the PatchFiles action to prevent duplicating the unpatched version of the file.
