Estimating the term…
A client on a network includes a file system that includes various non-streamable software applications. A streaming support system in the client enables a streamable software application to be located in the file system and executed in a streaming mode without being isolated from the non-streamable software applications in the file system. Non-streamable software applications can invoke the streamable software application, and vice versa. Multiple streamable software applications can be concurrently located throughout the file system and can be executed in the client in the streaming mode without restriction to any particular portion of the main file system. Streamable applications can be located anywhere in the file system that the corresponding non-streamable versions of the applications would be able to be located. The main file system does not need to contain complete copies of the required files for any streamable applications.
A method of enabling a client to execute a streamable software application, the client including a file system that includes a non-streamable software application, the method comprising installing, in the client, client streaming software which configures the client so that the streamable software application can be located in the file system and executed in a streaming mode without being isolated from the non-streamable software application.
A method of enabling a client, which includes a main file system, to execute a streamable software application, the method comprising configuring the client so that the streamable software application can be located in the main file system and executed in a streaming mode, without the streamable software application being required to be located in a predetermined portion of the main file system.
A method of enabling a client to execute a streamable software application, the method comprising configuring the client so that the streamable software application can be executed in the client in a streaming mode, without the streamable software application being located in a virtual file system.
A method of enabling a client on a network to stream software applications, the client including an operating system and a main file system, the method comprising:
A method of executing a streamable software application in a client in a streaming mode, the client including an operating system and a file system, the method comprising:
