Embodiment Construction

[0019] In view of the problems described above with respect to conventional methods of application installation, the subject matter described herein provides for installation of applications including application configuration settings and data from one peer to another. Previously, the user was required to manage the installation process and configure the application after installation, but the methods, systems and computer program products described herein manage the installation and configuration process for the user and allow data files to be initialized and associated with the application. By adapting the initial installation process on the source computer to describe the installation options and publish the application available for installation, peer computers can locate the application for installation and initiate the installation process without being associated with the traditional installation and configuration process the above-mentioned complications. By adjusting...

Abstract

The invention discloses methods, systems, and computer program products for installing an application. According to one method, an installation of an application on a source device is detected. Responsive to detecting the application installation, a descriptor is produced including source-device-specific installation information. The descriptor is published to a descriptor data store accessible by a peer destination device. The descriptor is configured for use by the peer destination device for installing at least a portion of the application on the peer destination device.

Description

technical field [0001] The topics described here relate to installing applications on a computer. In particular, the subject matter described herein relates to methods, systems and computer program products for installing applications from one peer to another, wherein the applications include application configuration settings and data . Background technique [0002] Traditionally, software applications are distributed at points of sale, such as retail stores or Internet sites. At the time of purchase, the purchaser typically receives physical installation media, such as optical disks, tapes, or digital versatile disks (DVDs). [0003] When a user sees a favorite application on a friend's machine, the user must find a location to purchase the application. This search may require the user to call or travel to a local retail store, conduct a web-based search to discover Internet vendors, or often spend many days mail ordering a software application. [0004] For purchasing...
