A system and method is disclosed for orderly distribution of software modules to various hosts in a cable system. A download manager ensures distribution of required and compatible software objects to various hosts in a cable system. The system abstracts various software dependencies and host-specific aspects from the network operator, allowing easy and efficient update of host software for a variety of host in an otherwise error prone process. The system allows a host to identify itself to the network for purposes of associating the host to a host profile, which ensures necessary and only compatible software modules are downloaded. The system also uses site profile data to determine appropriate software modules for distribution to the host.
