ABSTRACT:
A computer software installation, distribution and maintenance method that manufactures one or more software products on an end user's target computer system. The method operates by generating a set of blueprints and raw materials for one or more software products to be distributed; provides the blueprints and raw materials to an end user; and manufactures the software products on the target computer according to the blueprints and using the raw materials. The method optionally provides for the testing of the target computer to determine its suitability for operating the software products, determines whether and updates to the software products are available and obtains them prior to manufacture; and tests and/or demonstrates the software products after manufacture.
