The systems and computer program products may additionally include extracting, from the read one or more software installation files, questions that a user will be asked to answer during execution of the one or more user-selected software installation files, and compiling the extracted questions. The systems and computer program products may further include prompting a user to provide answers to the compiled questions, and receiving answers to one or more questions of the compiled questions prior to execution of the one or more user-selected software installation files. The systems and computer program products may additionally include storing the received answers, and providing the stored answers when requested during execution of the one or more user-selected software installation files.
