A patch attribute statement is called with at least one conditional statement that returns a list of one or more patches if the at least one conditional statement evaluates as true. An attribute defined for the attribute statement is associated with the installation of the patch to the computer if the computer includes the returned list of patches. A script program is provided including at least one patch attribute statement. The script program is provided with the patch, wherein the script program executes and processes a computer object including information on installed software and hardware components determined in the computer to determine whether the at least one conditional statement associated with each patch attribute statement is true.
