TDV produces service pack patches as needed to update installed products. Patches are applied after the product has been installed. A patch is a zipped package of files that fixes known issues and which often provides enhanced functionality.

You must use the component-specific patch to get fixes for each component (For example, the Studio patch has fixes for Studio, the Client driver patch has fixes for client drivers such as ODBC, ADO.Net). Refer to Software Components for Installation for a list of components.

After installation of TDV, you might want to apply the latest TDV patch which might be a later version than what you just installed. It is recommended that you install a patch on all computers running TDV products to ensure complete compatibility and minimize unforeseen problems.

For information about how to obtain and install the latest patch, see TDV and Business Directory Product Maintenance.

Note: Instructions for how to install a patch or service pack are subject to change with each service pack. For instructions, see the TDV and Business Directory Release Notes.
