ABSTRACT:
A method, system and process for installing an application under a first operating system and translating the installation parameters into a set of similar parameters to assure proper execution under a second operating system. The invention prompts a user for selection of preferences for an initial operating system and stores the initial selections representing a user's requirements under the initial operating system. Then, the hardware is examined to ascertain a list of all bootable devices and the operating systems associated therewith. The list of bootable devices is presented to the user for selection of which operating systems the application should be enabled under. Finally, the application is enabled in accordance with the information stored in the initial selections on each of the selected bootable devices and the operating systems associated with the bootable device.
