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.
