  • Patent number: 9038018
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to integrating software components. In aspects, a previously created component is inserted into a target project. To do this, a location of elements of the component is obtained as well as a destination for placing the elements. Fixup code is also inserted into the project. The fixup code is to be executed after installing the component on a target entity prior to allowing the component to execute. The fixup code discovers the installation location of the component on the target entity and changes reference(s) from the original location to the installation location. After the component and the fixup code are inserted into the project, the project may be used to create a package which may be deployed on one or more target entities.
