Abstract
Installing a payload file contained in a compressed archive of files using a minimum of memory. The payload file is directly installed onto a target data processing system without making additional copies of the particular file on the target data processing system and without intermediate expansion of the entire archive. The compressed archive of files contains an index indicating the location of files within the archive and a configuration logic section that allows an installation program to determine which files should be installed on which data processing systems and where the files should be installed.
