ABSTRACT:
Exemplary methods and systems for creating and executing generic software packages are disclosed. A method for creating generic software packages may include receiving a digital file, providing meta-data that indicates a feature of the digital file, and providing a determination module adapted to identify a target platform where the digital file is to be installed. The method may also include providing a configuration module adapted to configure the meta-data to be compatible with the target platform and including the determination module and the configuration module in the generic software package such that the generic software package includes the digital file, the meta-data, the determination module, and the configuration module. An exemplary method for executing generic software package may include providing the generic software package, identifying a target platform where the digital file is to be installed, and configuring meta-data to be compatible with the target platform.
