Abstract: System resource compatible update packages can be detected and deployed. An update package's update metadata can include a system resource compatibility profile. Prior to installing an update package, an update tool on an end user device can evaluate the end user device's system resource information against the update package's system resource compatibility profile. If the system resource information does not comply with the update package's system resource compatibility profile, the update tool can forego installing the update package. In this way, the update package can ensure that otherwise compatible update packages are not installed because their installation may reduce the performance of the end user device.

Abstract: The last successful device update can be recovered on a computing system. An update tool can be employed to detect whether an update package is installed successfully. When an update package is successfully installed, the update tool can define a last successful device update that associates the update package with the device that the update package targets. In contrast, when the update package does not install successfully, the update tool can access the last successful device update for the targeted device and use it to obtain and install the previous update package that the last successful device update represents. In this way, the related components for a device can be rolled back to a common state to prevent incompatibilities that may otherwise exist due to the failed installation.
