Application Virtualization System

Create an application virtualization system that contains a virtual registry and filesystem. The system will provide an application ‘sandbox’ which protects the local OS from modifications and also enables applications to run from guest accounts without local installation. The system will consists of the following: 1) An installer - intercept all registry and filesystem calls and write all modifications to the virtual registry and filesystem. 2) An application launcher - when the application is running, virtual files and registry keys will override system files and registry keys where they might collide, otherwise the application can access any system files and registry keys it normally could. All changes to registry and filesystem should be made to the virtual registry and filesystem. Here's a usage scenario: 1) A user runs our installer and install Microsoft Office into our application virtualization system. 2) The user goes to a new computer which does not have Microsoft Office installed and logs in as Guest. 3) The user copies the virtual registry and virtual filesystem yielded from step 1 to the new computer. 4) The user runs our application launcher to launch Microsoft Word from virtual registry and virtual filesystem. ## 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.
