Abstract
Identification of software program data and configuration data. A set of installation data is identified from an installation log. A set of deduced data is determined based on the identified set of installation data, using various algorithms and heuristics. A set of program data is organized as a function of the starting and deduced data, said program data constituting all data belonging to the software. The software is applied from the source computing device to a destination computing device as a function of the organized set of program data such that the application process mimics the actions of the software's installer so that the software functions seamlessly on the destination computing device.
