Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods and systems for maintaining application programs on a client computer in a client-server network environment. The task of dynamically upgrading components in the application program running on a client is greatly simplified by rendering control to the individual client rather than to a central server. The version updating procedures of the present invention further provide steps to ensure speedy and error-free transfer of the required files and components through an open network environment, such as the Internet.
