I've read tutorials about collections, but I'm not confident enough to try that in a production environment although on the surface it seems to be a good way to do it. I'm going to try rgorman's suggestion, which seems a bit of a messy way to achieve what I'm after, but it may turn out to be simple if I can get the scripting right. More later.

Installation is the act of making a computer program program ready for execution. Because the process varies programs often come with a specialized program responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation. Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process. Cross platform installer builders that produce installers for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux include InstallAnywhere, InstallBuilder and Install4J. Installers for Microsoft Windows include Windows Installer, InstallShield, and Wise Installation Studio; free installer-authoring tools include NSIS, IzPack, Clickteam, InnoSetup, InstallSimple and WiX. Mac OS X includes Installer, and also includes a separate software updating application.
