Patent ID: 8776046

Claim:
A non-transitory recording medium that is classified into one of first to n-th non-transitory recording mediums, wherein each of the first to n-th non-transitory recording mediums stores: one of first to n-th software components that software is sequentially divided into; and one of first to n-th installation execution files each of which generates an installation process of associated one of the first to n-th software components and executes the installation process, each of the second to n-th non-transitory recording mediums further stores: one of second to n-th installation assistant files each of which runs one of the second to n-th installation execution files from one of the second to n-th non-transitory recording mediums; and one of second to n-th autorun setup files each of which sets one of the second to n-th installation assistant files to be automatically run by an operating system, each of the second to n-th installation assistant files is integrated with one of the second to n-th installation execution files that is stored in the same non-transitory recording medium as the respective installation assistant files, if the installation process for the first software component stored in the first recording medium is not completed, an installation is done of one of the second to n-th software components stored in one of the second to n-th non-transitory recording mediums, the installation is done by executing one of installation processes for the second to n-th software components, the installation processes are generated by the second to n-th installation execution files, the second to n-th installation execution files are run by the second to n-th installation assistant files, and the installation assistant files are automatically run by the second to n-th autorun setup files, and if the installation process for the first software component stored in the first recording medium is completed, an installation is done of one of the second to n-th software components stored in one of the second to n-th non-transitory recording mediums, the installation is done by ending one of a first installation process and a second installation process and executing the other of the first installation process and the second installation process, the first installation process is one of first type of installation processes for the second to n-th software components, the first type of installation processes are generated by the second to n-th installation execution files which have been run by an installation process for the first software component, the second installation process is one of second type of installation processes for the second to n-th software components, the second type of installation processes are generated by the second to n-th installation execution files which have been run by the second to n-th installation assistant files, and the installation assistant files had been automatically run by the second to n-th autorun setup files.
