1. A method of installing software comprising:
- receiving a storage device;
performing a first file copy phase of installing programs onto the storage device to optimize file structure to support an application;
configuring a first setup process to determine at least one directory on the storage device for copying contents of a program;
performing a second enumeration phase of installing programs onto the storage device to enumerate registry, desktop and start menu items;
configuring a second setup process to cause a program to be integrated into an operating system; and
providing mutually exclusive switches, one switch to perform the copy phase only and another switch to perform the enumeration phase only with the assumption that the copy phase has been performed.
