Abstract
A method for updating software components on a user terminal connected to a network provides for the automatic identification, retrieval, and installation of a selection of software components based on information contained in a script file and furnished by a user. The script file maintains information on current version numbers for the software components, and the method checks that information against stored configuration information to determine whether any components need to be updated. If so, the method simulates a manual transaction between the user terminal and a server storing the desired software component by following instructions set forth in the script file, which is updated as necessary, and sending appropriate user information to the server. The software component acquired thereby is then installed.
