背景技术Background technique

一般来说，常规用户计算机系统在贮存设备中安装软件程序。该常规用户计算机系统从CD-ROM、磁盘或服务器计算机系统读取该软件程序的源代码。该程序的源代码被存储在一系统目录，例如，由微软公司提供的MicrosoftWindowsTM系统中的Microsoft WindowsTM目录，和一用户目录中。该系统目录和该用户目录具有与软件程序文件关联的路径信息。例如，软件文件可以由主可执行文件、辅助可执行文件、注册文件和WindowsTM操作系统中的其它*.dll、*.hlp等文件组成。Generally, conventional user computer systems install software programs in storage devices. The conventional user computer system reads the source code for the software program from a CD-ROM, disk or server computer system. The source code of the program is stored in a system directory, eg, the Microsoft Windows ™ directory in the Microsoft Windows ™ system provided by Microsoft Corporation, and a user directory. The system directory and the user directory have path information associated with software program files. For example, software files may consist of main executable files, auxiliary executable files, registry files, and other *.dll, *.hlp, etc. files in the Windows ™ operating system.

常规用户计算机系统需要大量贮存装置的贮存空间存储想要的软件程序。在该常规用户计算机系统使用各种软件程序的情况下，该常规计算机系统应该安装各种软件程序。此外，在想要的软件被升级或更新的情况下，应该在该常规计算机系统中安装该升级或更新的软件程序。Conventional consumer computer systems require a large amount of storage space on a storage device to store desired software programs. Where the conventional user computer system uses various software programs, the conventional computer system should install the various software programs. Furthermore, in the event that desired software is upgraded or updated, the upgraded or updated software program should be installed in the conventional computer system.

一般来说，该常规用户计算机系统为了执行一软件程序，从作为远程计算机系统的服务器计算机系统中拷贝或下载软件程序。此时，该常规计算机系除了需要被拷贝或下载的软件程序文件以外，还需要一特殊的软件程序文件。如果该常规计算机系统没有该特殊的软件程序文件，那么该常规计算机系统就不能执行该软件程序。Generally, the conventional user computer system copies or downloads a software program from a server computer system as a remote computer system in order to execute a software program. At this time, the conventional computer system requires a special software program file in addition to the software program file to be copied or downloaded. If the conventional computer system does not have the special software program files, the conventional computer system cannot execute the software program.
