ABSTRACT:
A system and method of installing a software patch on a selected electronic device using a graphical user interface is disclosed. The user utilizes a graphical user interface (GUI) to select a patch to install and selects an electronic device, the “target” device, upon which to install the patch. Patch dependencies on the target device are programmatically determined and checked to ensure that software required for the patch is present on the target device. The installation of the patch is then performed. The illustrative embodiment of the present invention also enables the removal of a patch from a targeted device following a determination of which applications on the target device are dependant upon the patch, and subsequent user authorization of the removal operation.
