Software installation method and system

Abstract

The invention provides a software installation method and a system thereof. The method comprises the steps that: when a client receives an installation instruction of a user, an installation request containing a user ID (identity) is sent to a server, a pre-saved software ID list of the user is fed back to the client by the server according to the user ID, and the software ID list comprises a back-up software ID corresponding to the user ID; and the ID of software needing installation is selected from the software ID list by the client, a software configuration file is searched according to the ID of the software, a download address of the software is acquired, and the software is downloaded from the download address. According to the invention, the software can be installed conveniently and rapidly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of software installation, in particular to a software installation method and system. Background technique [0002] The existing software installation technologies mainly include the following types: [0003] The first one is to manually start the software installation program for installation. The specific method is that when the user needs to install a certain software, the installation program of the software is directly started manually. The disadvantages of this method are: manual operation is required, the speed is slow, and it is inconvenient; the software installation status cannot be quickly and easily copied between multiple machines; when the system is deleted, the software installation status cannot be restored. [0004] The second is to restore the software from the backup data that was hard-copied on the hard disk. For example, use the cloning software Ghost to directly back up the hard disk...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The disadvantages of this method are: manual operation is required, the speed is slow, and it is inconvenient; the software installation status cannot be quickly and easily copied between multiple machines; when the system is deleted, the software installation status cannot be restored

The disadvantages of this method are: the amount of software backup data is large and the backup speed is slow; the backup data storage is inconvenient and easy to lose; it can only be restored to the original software version, and when the software is updated, it cannot be updated to the latest version when restoring

The disadvantage of this method is that the user cannot restore the software individually based on the software he has installed before. If the user needs to install the same batch of software on different computers, he needs to make repeated selections.

[0006] It can be seen that the above-mentioned existing software installation technologies all have their own defects, and cannot perform software installation conveniently and quickly for users.
