Abstract:
1. A method for installation and configuration of selectable components of a software product, the method comprising: providing an installation user interface allowing a user to identify and select a plurality of install and configuration templates from multiple input sources for recommended installation of selectable software components; responsive to a user selecting multiple install and configuration templates, enabling the user to apply a relative weight for each of the selected install and configuration templates, wherein the relative weight is applied to each selectable software component included in the weighted template; merging the weighted software components from each of the install and configuration templates to determine a weighted value for each selectable component; determining the weighted software components having a weighted value that exceed a predetermined threshold value; installing and configuring each selectable component having a weighted value exceeding the predetermined threshold value including the components to install, the install path, and other configuration options; removing selectable software components having a weighted value that is less than the predetermined threshold value; applying a subcomponent dependency ranking adjustment; and automatically resolving a subcomponent dependency conflict.
