Abstract: A method for controlling the update installation behavior of a computing device according to installation attributes is presented. When present, a mandatory installation attribute associated with a software update causes the installation process executed on the computing device to disallow a user to selectively not install the software update. A priority installation attribute causes the computing device to request a higher amount of network bandwidth for obtaining the software update's content for installation on the client computing device. A deadline installation attribute associated with the software update causes the computing device to permit a user to selectively not install the software update until an associated deadline passes, at which time the software update is installed without further user interaction. A zero system interruption (ZSI) installation attribute causes the computing device to automatically install the software update without user interaction if the computing device is properly configured.

Abstract translation: 提出了一种根据安装属性来控制计算设备的更新安装行为的方法。 当存在时，与软件更新相关联的强制安装属性导致在计算设备上执行的安装过程不允许用户选择性地不安装软件更新。 优先安装属性使得计算设备请求更大量的网络带宽以获得用于在客户端计算设备上安装的软件更新的内容。 与软件更新相关联的截止日期安装属性导致计算设备允许用户选择性地不安装软件更新，直到相关的截止日期过去，此时软件更新被安装，而无需进一步的用户交互。 零系统中断（ZSI）安装属性导致计算设备在计算设备配置正确的情况下自动安装软件更新而无需用户交互。

Abstract: A hierarchical software update distribution system and method for distributing software updates is presented. The update distribution system includes a root update service node and at least one update service node. In an update distribution system, each update service node, except the root update service node, has one parent update service node. Each update service node may function as a parent update service node to child update service nodes.
