Hi All,

I am working on Patch installer and am stuck at one point. When I run my patch file (.bat) file then it copies files to c:\abc path which contains a.txt,b.txt etc files.

In case if there is any problem while copy or any error occurs while doing this. Then I want to rollback all changes to earlier version.
eg:- if a.txt file is replaced and while making changes to b.txt file if it gives an error . So in that case whatever changes are done previously on other files should be rolledback.

Is there any way to do such things.... using COMMAND LINE

Not clear. What is "Patch installer"? Is it some installer product, or you just installing patches? What are you using?

Make a copy of your originals to another folder then try replacing, if you encounter an error the restore your files from the backup folder.
