Applying a cumulative update (either for binary and/or apps) require some skills and also powershell scripting.
Could-you please add an option on "setup.exe" to apply a cumulative update on an existing installation with option like "/updatebinaryonly", "/updateapplicationonly" and "/updateall" ?
Thanks,
Xavier.

Powershell scripting is a skill every NAV/BC developer/technical consultant would do themselves a big favor by mastering. Once you learn and start using it then you'll never go back. :)

/updateapplication shoud import (if no conflict) the fomb from CU \APPLICATION folder (and so failed if not possible).

How do you expect /updateapplication to work?
IMHO /updatebinary is a good suggestion to simply replace binaries and adjust registry etc... Should off cause store all configuration files under alternative names so it does not overwrite a config file (add .orig or something like that). You'll still need some skills if it fails for some reason, but it beats the current way of doing it :-)
