ABSTRACT:
A method, system, and computer program for installing a shared software component on a computer are proposed. The process is driven by an exploiter of this (new) shared component. If the required shared component is not available on the computer, it is installed at the desired location (specified by the exploiter). On the contrary, if another shared component is already available (for further exploiters), the process verifies whether this available shared component is at the required level. If not, the available shared component is upgraded accordingly; for example, this result can be achieved by causing the available shared component to refuse any new request and then waiting for the completion of any pending request. In this case, the install location of the available shared component is returned to the exploiter, so as to have it point to the available shared component automatically.
