METHOD, SYSTEM, COMPUTER PROGRAM, AND DATA STRUCTURE FOR INSTALLING SOFTWARE ON MOBILE COMPUTING DEVICE USING ROLLBACK AND SECURITY FEATURES OF CONFIGURATION MANAGER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To install software by using rollback and security features of a configuration manager.;SOLUTION: A mobile computing device accesses files that are to be installed on the mobile computing device, and well as computer-executable instructions that define how the files are to be installed on the mobile computing device. The configuration manager then causes the computer-executable instructions to be executed and causes a mirroring rollback document to be constructed. If the installation fails, the installation process is reversed by executing the rollback document. The configuration manager may also used to implement security when executing the installation instructions by checking to determine whether or not execution of each installation instruction is authorized.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
