Abstract
Methods, systems and computer products are provided for imposing pre-installation prerequisite checks on the install user to ensure a higher rate of installation success. Projected failure rates are calculated for scenarios in which a user opts to not perform one or more prerequisite activities prior to the installation. The system prompts the user to perform the prerequisites, and provides installation advices showing the projected failure rates in the event the user opts out of performing one or more prerequisites. The system may not allow the user to bypass some prerequisites designated as being mandatory to the installation.
