Abstract
The disclosure describes a tool that decreases the size of a software installation file by segregating and/or allowing customization of the original software installation file. The resulting install file permits multiple configurations to be created using the same install file by using custom configuration settings. The optimized software installation file permits the automated (or semi-automated) installation of software and/or software updates/upgrades on a remotely located electronic device. Moreover, aspects of the tool may also regulate compliance with possible reboot/restart requirements of the software/upgrade installation that may be useful for electronic devices which are remotely located.
