Abstract: An application suite installation framework comprises an application suite installer program, an installation configuration file, and the program files and other contents that comprise the software applications. The installation configuration file contains an entry for each software application which is available for installation. The application suite installer program contains the logic to read the installation configuration file to determine the installation options to display, and displays the installation options to a user. For each of the software applications in the list that is selected by the user, the application suite installer program installs the software application using the information, including an application installer, specified in the entry corresponding to that software application in the installation configuration file.

Abstract: An application suite installation framework comprises an application suite installer program, an installation configuration file, and the program files that comprise the software applications. The framework allows a user to specify the software applications that are to be installed on the user's computer system, and, based on the user's input, creates the installation configuration file. The installation configuration file contains an entry for each software application which was specified by the user. The application suite installer program reads the installation configuration file to determine the installation options (i.e., the software applications) to display, and displays to the user a list of the software applications that may be installed.

Abstract: A secondary navigation system for navigating through a form allows a user to easily and quickly navigate through a plurality of features supported by the underlying application. The secondary navigation system provides quick access to context sensitive documents, document lists, features and services. An implementation of the secondary navigation system provides an always available secondary navigation menu including a task area and a find area in different sections of a user interface form in a manner so that a user can intuitively navigate through various features and services of an underlying application.
