Abstract
The present invention provides a method for distributing system files and system registry changes dynamically. An 'application package' consisting of system files and registry changes is added to a user. When the user logs on, the detection of a 'package' is made if the package is not already installed on the client machine, a batch file is used to copy the files and make the registry changes to the local machine. A “key” is then set on the machine indicating that the files/registry entries are installed.
