ABSTRACT:
A process for the mass production of computers where software is automatically installed according to configure-to-order requirements. Additionally, the process captures the as-built hardware and software components of each computer for the vendor service and support program. Furthermore, the process provides a software installation environment which is secure from any undetectable alteration and offers control and auditing of subcontractors who produce systems according to manufacturer's specifications. Finally, the process automates the tracking and reporting of royalty payments to the appropriate recipient.
