  • System and method for dynamic software installation instructions
    Publication number: 20050251786
    Abstract: A system and method for dynamic software installation instructions is presented. A customized instruction generator asks a user particular questions. In turn, the user provides answers, or system parameters. Based upon the user's response, the customized instruction generator asks dependent questions to further collect more detailed system parameters. Once the customized instruction generator collects the system parameters it requires, the customized instruction generator retrieves an instruction template that includes parameter placeholders. The customized instruction generator replaces the parameter placeholders with corresponding system parameters, includes particular instruction subsections based upon the system parameters, and generates customized instructions for the user to follow in order to install software on a computer system.
