Abstract
An agent is downloaded from a server to a client before installation. Then, the agent executes installation of an install file into the client by referring to a managing record file and according to an execution script. The agent updates the managing record file according to an install execution state of the client. When downloaded again from the server to the client after reboot, the agent continues the installation of the install file by referring to the managing record file and according to the execution script, and further updates the managing record file according to an install execution state of the client.
