Multi-installer product deployment
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for installing a multi-installer program with single installer deployment, the method comprising:
- associating a custom action with a core installer of a program;
instantiating an installation of the core installer, wherein the custom action is executed during the installation of the core installer; and
leveraging privileges of the core installer to facilitate access to satellite installers identified by the custom action.

Abstract
A custom action associated with a core installer leverages privileges of the core installer to access satellite installers. The custom action includes code for identifying that a software product includes multiple installers and that the core installer has been cached. The custom action determines the product source. Identified satellite installers are associated with the client device. Pre-generated scripts of the satellite installers are accessed and the scripts are applied to the client to facilitate satellite installer advertisement/assignment. In this manner, the custom action associated with the core installer leverages the privileges of the core installer to install satellite installers on a lockdown client device. The custom action allows multi-installer software products to be installed on a client via a software deployment technology configured for single installer software products. As such, multi-installer software products may be easily deployed and installed on client devices.
