Abstract
Apparatus and method are provided for efficiently recovering from an interrupted installation procedure. The installation system creates a list of components to be installed in the installation procedure. The installation recovery system works in conjunction with the component list and current component pointer to identify which component was the last component successfully installed in the install procedure. In an instance where recovery is required, the installation recovery system identifies the last component installed and then restarts the install procedure from the point it was interrupted.
