Software Virtualization Agent 2.1

Altiris Software Virtualization Solution (SVS) is a new way to use software. By placing data and programs into managed units called Virtual Software Packages(VSP's), SVS allows you to instantly activate, deactivate, or reset applications and to completely avoid conflicts between applications, without altering the base Windows installation. Say goodbye to "DLL Hell" and "Registry Rot". Getting apps and data into VSP's is simple with an included tool. This version is the same as the regular commercial product shipped by Altiris, minus the server-side components for centralized management.
The SVS Agent installer is a Windows Installer package and therefore includes many features common to all Windows Installer packages.
The SVS Agent package installs a number of components on the system, some optionally. The installer sets the security permissions on the File Redirection Area and the Registry Redirection Area. For these, the local system and the Administrators group are given full access. During normal operation of the product, directories and registry keys will be created within these areas. Security permissions for this will inherit the default settings, or they will be copied from a directory of the same name in the base. This keeps security in the redirect area in synchronization with security elsewhere on the machine. Similar security is also set for the Virtual Layer Metadata registry keys.
