Abstract
A process of software installation over a data processing network is described. New pieces of software being installed over a data processing network require changes to the configuration of the workstation upon which they are being installed. The configuration file associated with the use of the new software being installed specifies the changes to the configuration of the workstation upon which the new software is being installed. This configuration build file is combined with configuration build files associated with the software files already upon the workstation to produce the composite build file. The composite build file is then used to reconfigure the workstation. The process allows for clashes between changes required by each piece of software to be resolved on a priority basis. Configuration change statements within each of the configuration build files can be combined into single configuration change statements. Configuration change statements can specify parameters in terms of a variable, the value of which is determined during the combination process.
