ABSTRACT:
A compatibility module manages compatibility issues between software applications installed on a computing device by intervening with installation of incompatible software applications to ensure compatibility problems are resolved. In one embodiment, an information control module stores compatibility information for a plurality of software applications, and this information describes how to resolve compatibility problems among the software applications. A search module searches for compatibility information, and a testing module analyzes the compatibility information to determine whether installation of a first software application on a computing device is compatible with the plurality of software applications installed on the computing device. Finally, an installation control module regulates the installation based on the result of the compatibility analysis.
