1. A system for software installation comprising:
- a storage medium for storing a file to be installed;
a difference detector for determining if a file that corresponds to the file on said storage medium is present on a target, and if such a file is present on said target, comparing the file in said storage medium with the corresponding file in said target, and detecting a difference therebetween;
a file operation course selector for selecting a file operation course, wherein the file operation course selector is set prior to differences being detected between a file on said storage medium and a corresponding file on said target;
a file operation determination device for determining an operation for the file in the target, based on the comparison by said difference detector; and
an installer for performing installation, based on the determination made by said file operation determination device, wherein said file operation determination device is not positioned in said target.

7. A software installation method comprising the steps of:
-
recording a file for installation;
comparing the recorded file with a file in a target and detecting a difference therebetween;
determining if a file that corresponds to the recorded file is present on a target, and if such a file is present on said target, comparing the recorded file with the corresponding file in said target, and detecting a difference therebetween;
selecting a file operation course, wherein the file operation course is set prior to differences being detected between the recorded file and a corresponding file on said target;
determining an operation for the file in the target, based on the detection; and
performing installation, based on the determination, wherein said determining is not performed in said target. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
