ABSTRACT:
A method and system for administering software product installation, removal and updating on a computer network according to a versioning database, including loading a software distribution set into a versioning database, the software distribution set comprising a software product having a plurality of files for operating the software product on a computer. Loading includes loading a first entity identifying the software distribution set into the versioning database, determining whether an identity of each of the plurality of files is currently identified as an entity currently provided on the versioning database, loading a plurality of second entities each corresponding to a respective file of the plurality of files, wherein only those files of the plurality of files determined not to be identified as an entity currently provided on the versioning database are loaded as second entities. The method and system further include storing the plurality of files, linking the first entity with the plurality of second entities, targeting a workstation in communication with the computer network for installation of the software product corresponding to the software distribution set and installing the software product on the targeted workstation.
