Can the patch installer be used to update a partial installation of SYSmark® 2012?

SYSmark® 2012 patch installer does not support updates of existing partial installations of SYSmark® 2012. Attempting to apply the patch installer to a partial installation of an earlier version of SYSmark® 2012 will result in corrupting the installation on the system. If this happens, please start with a clean image and complete install of SYSmark® 2012, then apply the patch to update to the latest shipping version.
