Abstract
In an example embodiment, a solution is used to provide for a highly efficient application installer. A software packaging format, known as vSolution, is provided that allows software developers to ship multiple artefacts of different types in a single container. Unlike traditional mechanisms, this container does not contain a dedicated installer executable or any sort of installation routine. Rather, the container format encourages a declarative approach to describe what an installation routine should perform, via the organization of the artefacts based on content type and using a naming convention.
