Adverbial adjectives [duplicate]
You're confusing terminology.
"John hammered the metal flat" is indeed a resultative construction: the hammering brings about the flatness.
But "I prefer/eat my food salted/hot" is an object-orientated depictive construction. My preferring/eating does not bring about the saltedness/hotness (though some prior process has done). And "This software comes pre-installed by the manufacturer" is a subject-orientated depictive construction, like "John arrived here totally exhausted."
