  • Publication number: 20030037325
    Abstract: The system and methods described herein relate to automatically installing a correct software version onto a computer from a software distribution medium that stores multiple installable versions of the same software product (i.e., a multi-version software distribution medium). A double INF file architecture on the multi-version software distribution medium relieves a user of the burden of directing an installation program (e.g., a hardware/software installation Wizard) to a specific location within the medium to complete the installation of the correct software version. The user need only direct the installation program to the distribution medium. The double INF file architecture ensures an automatic installation of the correct software version without the need for understanding how to navigate the medium.
