Abstract: A software application installation system facilitates automatic installation and/or updating of software applications without requiring a user to have any specific knowledge of the configuration of the computer system upon which the software application is to be installed and/or updated. The software applications to be installed may be supplied by third party providers. The installation is based on automatically derived knowledge of the computer system on which the software applications are to be installed. The software applications may be installed automatically using a standardized user interface (UI), and/or without requiring substantial user input.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a mounting apparatus that includes at least two ceiling mounts. Each of two scissor mounts may be coupled to the same or different dropped ceiling rail(s) using a corresponding scissor clip feature. The mounting apparatus further includes a mounting pipe that is coupled to each of the scissor mounts. The mounting pipe is thus suspended by the scissor mounts below the dropped ceiling, providing an unlimited number of potential mounting positions for lighting and/or lighting accessories.
