Abstract

See full text

The present invention is for an apparatus, method and computer readable software medium executable by a processor for automatically installing software applications resident on a plurality of computer terminals in a network. The invention preferably includes a detection module, a generation module, and a transmission module operating on a computer attached to a network. The detection module identifies the executable steps which are required to uninstall a software application from the model computer. The generation module creates a self-executing uninstall package using the executable steps identified by the detection module. The transmission module transmits the self-executing uninstall package to each of the terminals in the network containing the software application which is to be uninstalled. Upon arriving at a terminal, the self-executing uninstall package automatically executes and removes the software application from the terminal.
