Abstract
An information processor has a program stored in a first storage area. The program is installed when authenticated based on a comparison of authentication information generated from the pre-certified files of the program and authentication information of the pre-certified files written in an authentication information file. The pre-certified files include the authentication information file and a first configuration file that defines an operation of the program. When the program is executed, the information processor searches for a second configuration file that exists when the program is installed and has the same file configuration as the first configuration file. Configuration data written in the second configuration file are registered with a second storage area different from the first storage area, when the second configuration file is located by the search. The configuration data are reflected in the operation of the program when determined as being stored in the second storage area.
