Software installation in multiple operating systems
First Claim
1. A method for executing a software application installed on different operating systems comprising:
- identifying changes in system parameters in a first operating system made upon installing a software application in said first operating system;
changing system parameters in a second operating system to be compatible with the first operating system based upon the changes in system parameters in the first operating system; and
accessing the software application for execution in the second operating system.

Abstract
A software application can be installed under one operating system, and accessed for execution by a second operating system compatible with the first operating system by identifying and making appropriate changes to system parameters in the second operating system. The two operating systems may be installed on the same of different machines. A record can be made of changes in system parameters that are made upon installation of the software application in the first operating system as a basis for making appropriate changes in the system parameters of the second operating system to allow the software application to be accessed for execution from the second operating system.

12. A method for executing a software application installed on different operating systems comprising:
-
identifying from a set of operating systems compatible with a first operating system, a second operating system from which a software application installed on the first operating system is to be executed; and
changing system parameters in the second operating system based upon changes in system parameters of the first operating system relating to installation of the software application on the first operating system;
wherein changes made to the system parameters in the second operating system allow the software application to be accessed in the first operating system for execution in the second operating system. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

13. A computer program product comprising:
a storage medium tangibly embodying a program of instructions readable by a computer system and executable by said computer system for implementing a method of;
identifying from a set of operating systems compatible with a first operating system, a second operating system from which a software application installed on the first operating system is to be executed; and
changing system parameters in the second operating system based upon changes in system parameters of the first operating system relating to installation of the software application on the first operating system;
wherein changes made to the system parameters in the second operating system allow the software application to be accessed in the first operating system for execution in the second operating system.

14. A computer system comprising:
-
a processor for executing software instructions;
a memory for storing software instructions;
a system bus coupling the memory and the processor; and
a storage medium recording software instructions that are loadable to the memory for implementing the method of;
identifying from a set of operating systems compatible with a first operating system, a second operating system from which a software application installed on the first operating system is to be executed; and
changing system parameters in the second operating system based upon changes in system parameters of the first operating system relating to installation of the software application on the first operating system;
wherein changes made to the system parameters in the second operating system allow the software application to be accessed in the first operating system for execution in the second operating system.
