application that makes it easy to install changing OS' and applications on a lot of computers

Goal: You must create an application that makes it easy to install **different** working systems with **changing** software applications on a lot of machines. It must be possible to configure the network-settings *before* installing the software. I need a menu where the different operating systems are listed. These will all be Microsoft products (Windows family). After choosing one of these a screen must appear where I can choose from the software that can be installed on this OS selected (so only the software will be shown that run on the selected OS). Now the user must be able to configure the network-settings before the OS gets installed (like computer-name, TCP/IP-adress or domain). A _possible_ way to achieve this could be: - save the bare OS (without software installed) in a container file - make snapshots of the different OS before and after installing the software on each OS. This must be saved in some kind of container file. Hereby all the information the software changes on the OS must be logged (like registry, .ddl etc) in order to make sure the software will be executed properly! - all these container files must be available to the software and can be installed, deleted, modified with the software It must be **easy** to create new OS and software container files. The application must be bootable, because I want to launch it from an USB-HDD. Please explain how you want to achieve the goal. Without explanation I won’t take your offer into consideration. If you have any additional ideas tell them, too. This will add a big *Plus* to your offer! All that matter for me is that the installation-process gets as easy and fast as possible. How you achieve is isn’t important. So again: Tell me your ideas… Thank you, Daniel Schunke ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
