METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR THE INTEGRATED INSTALLATION OF SOFTWARE

摘要

A method and system for the integrated installation of software. The method includes the steps of discovering program descriptors of computer programs available to be installed and creating a software environment specification having one or more software environment objects, the specification based on the discovered program descriptors. The method further includes the steps of transferring required files from distribution storage onto a computer system for preparation of the software environment and writing parameter values to parameter storage based on the created software environment specification to adapt the installed software to form a software environment. In an embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes the step of evaluating validity conditions for the software environment objects to validate elements of the software environment.
