Making Things Easier Thanks To Application Virtualization By: Artem Razin

Your problem is probably familiar to many in your business. You have something you want to share with customers but they may not have all the files needed to use it. They may not be too willing to add a lot of programs on their computer. Or maybe you have a program you use on the go but you can't use it on many computers because you aren't able to install things on the system or because you can't use the installer. For these situations, you need a better fix. You might even need application virtualization.

Different Issues

Whether you're concerned about the ability of your end users to access the software you're providing them or you want to run software portably that require ActiveX and similar software to run smoothly, you have probably run into the same problems. This can be concerning and can interfere with your plans in a number of ways.

If you're starting to market a software demo movie that requires a Flash ActiveX player, for instance, you're going to be wasting your time if most of the consumers don't have the necessary software installed on their computer. Even if they do have the software installed, the player can't load files from the computer's memory. The movie you want to play needs to be part of the software, also. This can be quite a problem and can be a huge setback to your marketing endeavor.

Or what if you've got a favorite portable software that, incidentally, also needs Active X to play but most of the machines you use don't already have these programs installed and using the application requires that ActiveX be loaded immediately so there's no time for installation through the system. Do you just give up attempting to use that program or file anywhere but at home?

A Revolutionary Option

These and other challenges can now be fixed through application virtualization. While the phrase may sound like something out of a science fiction story, it perfectly tells what BoxedApp SDK can do for you.

Basically, the software allows you to simply create virtual files, create virtual registry keys, embed ActiveX, embed DLL, and more so that you can start the software you want and can create pre-packaged files that behave the way you want them to on your computer and on consumer's systems without the need for extra installation of files. This works because BoxedApp SDK literally convinces the computer into thinking the important files are already present.

The best part is that no temporary files are installed as part of the process so you can use the virtual files created with the application on any computer even those which don't allow things to be installed on their hard drive. The buyer won't even see the files you've created and are using to run the program. It's all thanks to application virtualization.

The application is very versatile and includes samples from C++, Delphi, VB6, C#, and VB.Net. You'll find a wide range of uses for this helpful application and the virtual files it can create.
