Abstract:
An application program determines, based upon a user's operation that has been received during execution, whether installation of an extension function is necessary, saves information identifying an extension function whose installation is necessary in memory if it is determined that installation of the extension function is necessary, activates an installer of the extension function whose installation is necessary and then terminates execution of this application program. If the application program is activated by the installer after the completion of installation, the application program activates the extension function, which has been installed by the installer, based upon the identifying information that has been saved in the memory.
