File installation system for displaying bitmaps during file installation
First Claim
1. A file installation method which retrieves setup files comprising computer files and bitmap images and displays the bitmap images on an end-user'"'"'s system during installation of the computer files onto the end-user'"'"'s system, the method comprising the steps of:
- retrieving setup files from a computer-usable medium in the sequence that setup files are to be installed/displayed on the end-user'"'"'s system, each retrieved setup file having a file destination code appended thereto; and
after each setup file is retrieved;
determining, based on an appended file destination code, whether a retrieved setup file should be installed to the end-user'"'"'s system, displayed on the end-user'"'"'s system, or not installed on the end-user'"'"'s system;
installing, based on a determination result that the retrieved setup file is to be installed, the retrieved setup file on the end-user'"'"'s system; and
displaying, based on a determination result that the retrieved setup file is to be displayed, the retrieved setup file on the end-user'"'"'s system.

Abstract
The present invention is a file installation system for sequentially displaying bitmap images on an end-user'"'"'s system during file installation by sequentially retrieving computer files from a computer-usable medium and installing or displaying files stored on a distribution media disk to an end-user'"'"'s system. The system includes an input for inputting an install command, a disk drive for retrieving a setup file from the distribution media disk in response to the input install command, a memory for storing the retrieved setup file, and a processor for retrieving the setup file from memory and executing the setup file. The processor, based on executed process steps in the setup file, performs the steps of 1) displaying at least one file installation option, 2) associating, in response to a selection of one of the at least one file installation options, a predefined destination code with the selected file installation option, 3) sequentially retrieving, in response to the selection of one of the at least one file installation options, computer files from the distribution media disk, said computer files each having a file destination code appended thereto, 4) determining, based on the appended destination code, whether the retrieved file should be installed on the end-user'"'"'s system, displayed on the end-user'"'"'s system, or not installed on the end-user'"'"'s system, 5) installing, based on a determination result that the retrieved file is to be installed, the retrieved file on the end-user'"'"'s system, and 6) displaying, based on a determination result that the retrieved file is to be displayed, the retrieved file on the end-user'"'"'s system.

14. A file installation system which retrieves setup files comprising computer files and bitmap images and displays the bitmap images on an end-user'"'"'s system during installation of the computer files onto the end-user'"'"'s system, the system comprising:
-
input means for inputting a command; an interface for accessing setup files on a computer-usable medium on which the setup files are stored; and process means for (1) retrieving setup files from the computer-usable medium via the interface in response to the command input by the input means, the process means retrieving the setup files from the computer-usable medium in the sequence that the setup files are to be installed/displayed on the end-user'"'"'s system, each retrieved setup file having a file destination code appended thereto, and (2) after each setup file is retrieved; (i) determining, based on an appended destination code, whether a retrieved setup file should be installed on the end-user'"'"'s system, displayed on the end-user'"'"'s system, or not installed on the end-user'"'"'s system, (ii) installing, based on a determination result that the retrieved file is to be installed, the retrieved setup file on the end-user'"'"'s system, and (iii) displaying, based on a determination result that the retrieved setup file is to be displayed, the retrieved setup file on the end-user'"'"'s system. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 46, 51, 52)

19. Computer-executable process steps stored on a computer-readable medium, the computer-executable process steps to retrieve setup files comprising computer files and bitmap images and to display the bitmap images on an end-user'"'"'s system during installation of the computer files onto the end-user'"'"'s system, the process steps comprising:
-
code to retrieve setup files from a computer-usable medium in the sequence that setup files are to be installed/displayed on an end-user'"'"'s system, each retrieved setup file having a file destination code appended thereto; and code which, after each setup file is retrieved, is executable; to determine, based on an appended file destination code, whether a retrieved setup file should be installed to the end-user'"'"'s system, displayed on the end-user'"'"'s system, or not installed on the end-user'"'"'s system; to install, based on a determination result that the retrieved setup file is to be installed, the retrieved setup file on the end-user'"'"'s system; and to display, based on a determination result that the retrieved setup file is to be displayed, the retrieved setup file on the end-user'"'"'s system. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 47, 53, 54)
