The invention relates to a process for creating an automatically distributable software package, as based on a standard software that is supplied to the computer. The process calls for a server that is connected to the computer over a communication network, such as the Internet, and involves the following steps: automatic transmission to the computer of packaging data stored on the server, on the basis of the standard software designation and at least one installation parameter, and automatic packaging of the standard software into an automatically distributable software package on the computer on the basis of the packaging data transmitted by the server. For the customer who desires to automatically distribute a standard software to a number of computers in his firm, this process provides a simple and cost-effective means of creating an automatically distributable software package, without the need for scripting know-how.
