It handles in stride obstacles like Windows Vista / Windows 7 / Windows 8 / Windows 10 User Account Control (UAC), limited-user problems, and many other subtleties.

wyUpdate can patch files using the VCDIFF delta-patch format. It also can handle errors, and rollback updates if there is unrecoverable error.
