Abstract

The present invention discloses a method and a system for updating a client side software, which is used to solve the problem existing in the prior art that all bundle files contained in the new edition client side software need to be downloaded when the client side software is updated. The method comprises that the file names of the bundle files of the client side software of each edition and verification codes stored by a server side are correspondingly saved in the configuration files; when the client side software of local installation is updated by the client side, the configuration files of the specified edition client side software are downloaded from a server side, and are compared with the local corresponding configuration files in the content aspect, and according to the comparison results, the bundle files with unchanged contents and the bundle files revised and newly added in contents which are downloaded from a server side are retained locally. The system comprises a server and a client side, wherein the server comprises memory modules, and the client side comprises configuration file index modules, configuration file comparison modules, bundle file downloading modules and updating modules.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to network communication and computer technology, in particular to a method and system for upgrading client software. Background technique [0002] At present, users often encounter the problem of upgrading the version of the software itself in the process of using the client software. Whenever there is a defect in the software or some functions need to be added, the client software installed on the user's machine needs to be upgraded. [0003] Client software usually consists of some executable program files and other configuration files. When upgrading the client software in the prior art, generally all the constituent files contained in the new version of the client software are made into a single installer for the user to download. After the user downloads the installer of the new version of the client software, the During the running process of the installation program, all the component files contained in the new version of...
