Abstract
Approaches for installing software, configuration changes, or content on a machine using BIOS residing thereon. BIOS executing on a client contains an injector module, which is a component detects whether a bootstrap program is installed on the client, and, barring a valid reason for the absence of the bootstrap program, installs the bootstrap program on the client. The bootstrap program is a software program, stored by the operating system of the client, which determines whether an OS component program is installed and executing on the client, and, barring a valid reason for the absence of the OS component program, installs the OS component program on the client. The OS component program monitors the actions of the user of the client to ascertain whether any legitimate changes have been made to the software programs installed thereon and installs any additional desired software, configuration changes, or content on the client.
