AUTOMATED IMPLEMENTATION OF BEST PRACTICES FOR SOLUTION DEPLOYMENT

Improved techniques involve expressing the best practices for installing a product into a machine-readable language. In particular, a vendor generates code representing best practices procedures for installing a product in the machine-readable language. The vendor makes the expression of this code available in a best-practices script to its customers. When a customer is ready for installation of the product, the customer issues a request and receives the script. The customer has software available on an installation device that runs the script and provides a wizard that automates the installation process.
