I don't think there is an easy way to create "just a patch", I just 
create a new installer (i.e. run py2exe and inno) and distribute this, 
Inno will know to install into the same folders if you use the same 
AppId and in my case my application check the database on first start up 
and if needed runs the database schema update program.
