Deployment of a driver or an application on a client device having a write-filter
First Claim
1. A method for deploying a driver or an application on a client device having a write-filter, the method comprising:
- facilitating obtaining a deployment configuration file, wherein the deployment configuration file includes a plurality of deployment entries each having information for deployment of one of a driver and an application;
retrieving a first deployment entry from the deployment configuration file;
modifying the deployment configuration file to remove the first deployment entry from the deployment configuration file;
facilitating storing of the modified deployment configuration file in a location of a memory of the client device that is exempt from a write-filter restriction, wherein the write-filter restriction prohibits a file stored on the client device with the write-filter enabled from persisting across a reboot of the client device; and
facilitating deploying on the client device the one of the driver and the application of the first deployment entry while the write-filter is disabled.

Abstract
The deployment of a driver or an application on a client device having a write-filter is described. A deployment configuration file is obtained, wherein the deployment configuration file includes a plurality of deployment entries each having information for deployment of one of a driver and an application. A first deployment entry is retrieved from the deployment configuration file, and the deployment configuration file is modified to remove the first deployment entry from the deployment configuration file. The modified deployment configuration file is stored in a location of a memory of the client device that is exempt from a write-filter restriction, wherein the write-filter restriction prohibits a file stored on the client device with the write-filter enabled from persisting across a reboot of the client device. The one of the driver and the application of the first deployment entry is then deployed on the client device while the write-filter is disabled.
