Abstract

See full text

Described herein are one or more implementations for facilitating installation of software products. In at least one implementation, one or more installation databases (e.g., MSI databases) are stored on the computer-readable media (e.g., a CD-ROM or hard disk). The installation databases include data configured to be loaded onto a computing system when a software product is installed onto that computing system. Also stored on that media is one or more executable installation components (e.g., MSI installer) that, when executed, directs installation of the software product from the one or more installation databases. With this implementation, components of the one or more installation databases are stored on the computer-readable media in a defined hierarchical directory structure, which includes, at least, a root and one sub-level, the sub-level comprising, at least, two sub-directories
