System for registry-based automatic installation and component handling on a device

摘要

System for registry-based automatic installation and component handling on a device. A method is provided for automatically processing a component on a device, where the component has a selected component type. The method includes installing a component handler on the device, where the component handler is operable to process components having the selected component type. The method also includes parsing an action list to obtain a component/action pair that identifies the component to be processed by the device, and downloading the component to the device. The method also includes determining that the component has the selected component type, and using the selected component type to activate the component handler to process the component.
