installation file. (col. 6, lines 1-6). The installer set generator (109) then
forwards the custom installation file to the packager (110), which transforms
the file into a custom installation package. (col. 6, ll. 6-10). The packager
(110) transforms the custom installation package into a self- extracting
executable file by submitting the package to a compression process (111),
and then to a self-extractor process (112). The self-extracting executable file
is subsequently delivered to the client as a single file via a packetization
transport protocol. (col. 6, ll. 14-22). Halpern further teaches that the
packager (110) interfaces with a batch mode application (115) residing on
the client computer to install application programs (e. g. retrieved software
components) from the component tool (107) without any interaction
between the user and the option manager (104). (col. 6, ll. 29-43).
Feinman teaches a method and system for remotely transferring
application programs from a remote server and automatically installing them
on a client computer via a network. (col.2, lines 34-36). Feinman also
teaches packaging a plurality of application programs into a compressed file
that records all subdirectories of the application programs. The compressed
file is transmitted to the client along with a sequential file containing
delivery information such that decompression of the application program at
