Abstract
One or more pluggable install components may be used with a modular install configuration engine. Each install component carries instructions that allow an install component to be used with the modular install configuration engine. Each install component also carries payload files for deployment onto a user's end system. Each install component may be created and updated by a number of vendors or programming groups. Upon installation, the install component and the modular install configuration engine are integrated to create a unique install program tailored to the needs of a particular customer.
