ABSTRACT:
A data processing system and method are disclosed for automatically installing a device driver on a plurality of client computer systems which are each executing a different operating system. The data processing system includes a server computer system coupled to the client computer systems via a network. These client computer systems are the systems which are to receive and install the device driver. Different versions of the device driver are created and stored within the server computer system. One of the different versions is copied to one of the client computer systems. The version of the device driver that is copied is the version which is executable by this operating system being executed by the client. The server computer system then causes the client computer system to install this version of the device driver on the client.
