Method of configuring a virtual application
First Claim
1. A method of modifying a virtual application configuration used to configure a virtualized version of an application, the method comprising:
- creating, with a computing system, a read-only first virtualized application file using the virtual application configuration;
executing the first virtualized application file, the executing first virtualized application file storing information identifying modifications to data stored in the first virtualized application file in a memory location;
reading, with the computing system, the information stored in the memory location; and
creating, with the computing system, a modified virtual application configuration by merging the information read from the memory location into the virtual application configuration, the modified virtual application configuration being usable by the computing system to create a read-only second virtualized application file.

Abstract
A method of modifying a virtual application configuration to include modifications made at runtime by a virtual application that is implemented by a first virtualized application file that was created previously using the virtual application configuration. At runtime, the virtual application implemented by the first virtualized application file stores modifications to its configuration in a sandbox memory location. The method includes reading the modifications from the sandbox memory location. Then, the modifications are written to the virtual application configuration. The modified virtual application configuration is then used to create a second virtualized application file that includes the modifications stored in the sandbox memory location.

1. A method of modifying a virtual application configuration used to configure a virtualized version of an application, the method comprising:
-
creating, with a computing system, a read-only first virtualized application file using the virtual application configuration; executing the first virtualized application file, the executing first virtualized application file storing information identifying modifications to data stored in the first virtualized application file in a memory location; reading, with the computing system, the information stored in the memory location; and creating, with the computing system, a modified virtual application configuration by merging the information read from the memory location into the virtual application configuration, the modified virtual application configuration being usable by the computing system to create a read-only second virtualized application file. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A computing system having at least one processor configured to execute instructions that when executed cause the at least one processor to:
-
create a read-only first virtualized application file using a virtual application configuration, the first virtualized application file being configured to be executed, the first virtualized application file storing information in a memory location as the first virtualized application file executes, the stored information identifying modifications made to data stored in the first virtualized application file; read the information stored in the memory location; and create a modified virtual application configuration by merging the information read from the memory location into the virtual application configuration, the modified virtual application configuration being usable by the computing system to create a read-only second virtualized application file. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
