Abstract
The present invention provides patch solutions for computer programs. A vendor system determines whether information regarding patches previously installed on the system is available. If the information is not available, the system delivers a completely pre-computed solution to the user computer system including a main patch set and its dependencies. If the information is available, the vendor system delivers a partially pre-computed solution including a main patch set and its dependencies except for any of said patches that have successors already installed on said system.
