ABSTRACT:
A framework for defining and performing installation prerequisite checking using a generic template includes identifying a candidate agent and a corresponding prerequisite check from among a plurality of predetermined prerequisite checks. The prerequisite checks are indicative of installability of the candidate agent on a host computer. An install engine generates a prerequisite script bundle based on a set of configuration parameters corresponding to the candidate agent and the identified prerequisite check. The configuration parameters are defined in a template format adapted to define a plurality of configuration parameter sets, enabling a single generic prerequisite check format to define the configuration parameters. The install engine invokes the script bundle inclusive of the script on the host computer for computing the installation status, (i.e. prerequisite check results) of the candidate agent based on the results.
