Hi, I've come across a problem with a recent patch that i built with Visual Patch 3.5.2.0. I was wondering whether Visual Patch is able to do a checksum test on any file that it expects to have patched to ensure that the file on disk matches the checksum of the file that it should have been...

The user's guide for Visual Patch talks about seamless integration with Setup Factory. How is this accomplished? I don't see any examples showing how this is done. It appears that you have to understand how Setup Factory works and perform the same operations through actions. Here is an example...
