Including Software Patches in a Volume License Installer for Use with NI VLM

Primary Software: Other NI Software>>NI Volume License Manager
Primary Software Version: 1.0
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
I use NI Volume License Manager to manage my licenses. To deliver a software, I create a volume license installer and give the volume license installer to my end users. I'd like to be able to include a patch installer or another executable in this installer. How can I do this?

Solution:
In the created volume license installer, there will be a file called mslsetup.xml. Open that file for edit. Before the last line, insert XML code similar to the following:
<execute>patch.exe</execute>

where patch.exe is the name of the patch or any other executable that you'd like to automatically run after installation. The resulting file contents will be similar to the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
<mslsetup xmlns="http://www.ni.com/license" version="1.0">

     <administrator>
            <name>Admin Name</name>
            <phone>555-1212</phone>
            <email>admin.name@email.com</email>
      </administrator>

      <server>@serverName</server>

      <serial>a11a11111</serial>

      <execute>patch.exe</execute>

</mslsetup>
