Described herein are one or more implementations for facilitating the installation and/or maintenance of software products from a cached software-installation source. With at least one implementation, an installation-source manager loads installation-source components of an already-installed software product into an installation-source cache of a computer. The manager then enables the loaded installation-source components in the installation-source cache so that the computer is configured to acquire installation source components of the already-installed product from the loaded installation-source components in the installation-source cache. The manager does these things without re-installing the already-installed software product. With at least one implementation, an enterprise installation-source manager obtains installation-source components of a software product. The manger then loads, over a computer communications network, the obtained the installation-source components into an installation-source cache of each of multiple network-coupled computers.
