  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INSTALLING SOFTWARE DELIVERABLES
    Publication number: 20090265586
    Abstract: A method for installing software involves obtaining a knowledge package including guidelines for obtaining and installing software deliverables, and simulating installation of the software deliverables on a managed host based on the guidelines in the knowledge package. Simulating installation of the software deliverables involves obtaining the software deliverables based on the guidelines in the knowledge package, caching the software deliverables on the managed host to obtain a local installation cache, and obtaining a response to an installation prompt associated with at least one of the software deliverables. The method further involves performing an actual installation of the software deliverables on the managed host using the local installation cache and the response to the installation prompt.
