US Patent:

7395534, Jul 1, 2008
Filed:

May 22, 2003
Appl. No.:

10/444699
Inventors:

Mark A. Alcazar - Seattle WA, US
Michael Dunn - Redmond WA, US
Adriaan W. Canter - Seattle WA, US
Venkata Rama Prasad Tammana - Kirkland WA, US
Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:

G06F 9/445
US Classification:

717174, 717175, 717176, 717177, 717178
Abstract:

Described is a mechanism for enabling an application operating as a web application to transition to a client-side application without impacting a user's interaction with the application. The progressive installation transitions through three states: a start-up state, a demand state, and an install state. During the start-up state, a subset of components associated with the application is downloaded and stored in a local data store. The subset is sufficient to allow execution of the application in a manner similar to a web application. During the demand state, additional resources associated with the application are downloaded. Transitioning from the demand state to the installed state occurs without impacting a user's interaction with the application. The transition may occur autonomously based on the number of additional resources stored in the local data store or upon an external trigger.

US Patent:

8336043, Dec 18, 2012
Filed:

Feb 15, 2007
Appl. No.:

11/675591
Inventors:

Darryn O. Lavery - Seattle WA, US
Adriaan W. Canter - Seattle WA, US
Sameer V. Bhangar - Seattle WA, US
Thomas E. Quinn - Seattle WA, US
Justin Kwak - Redmond WA, US
Jeff Young - Snoqualmie WA, US
Brent Rector - Redmond WA, US
Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:

G06F 9/445
US Classification:

717173, 717178
Abstract:

A method and system for dynamically downloading custom code for execution within a host application is provided. A deployment system augments the manifest used for deploying managed applications to include information describing how the host application is to use the custom code, referred to as host manifest information. The deployment system reports the progress of the downloading of the manifest and the custom code to the host application. The host application can then perform appropriate host-specific processing. The host application may provide to the deployment system an interface for verifying the trust of the custom code. The deployment system also allows the host application to control the uninstalling of the custom code.

International Classification:

G06F 9/445
G06F 9/44
G06F 17/00
US Classification:

717174, 717170, 463 42
Abstract:

Multiple software component identifiers are maintained in a catalog of an operating system running on a device. Each of these software component identifiers corresponds to one of multiple software components installed on the device. The catalog is accessed in response to a request regarding one of the multiple software components, and the request is responded to based at least in part on information included in the catalog. Additionally, two or more versions of a software component that are installed on the computing device can be identified. Which one of the two or more versions of the software component is an active version of the software component to be run is determined. In response to requests for information regarding the software component, information regarding the active version of the software component is returned.

International Classification:

G06F 9/44
G06F 7/00
US Classification:

717120, 707609
Abstract:

One or more extension registrations are received for each of multiple software components installed on a computing device. The one or more extension registrations identify the software components as providers of functionality. A record of the one or more extension registrations for each of the multiple software components is maintained. Requests are received, from other software components installed on the computing device, that identify particular functionality. In response to such requests, the information regarding one or more of the multiple software components that provide the particular functionality is returned to the other software components.

US Patent:

20040003390, Jan 1, 2004
Filed:

Jun 27, 2002
Appl. No.:

10/184710
Inventors:

Adriaan Canter - Seattle WA, US
Micheal Dunn - Redmond WA, US
Srivatsan Parthasarathy - Bellevue WA, US
Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:

G06F009/445
G06F009/44
US Classification:

717/178000, 717/173000
Abstract:

Described is a mechanism for enabling installable software applications from a remote location without impacting already-installed software applications. The invention provides a mechanism for installing applications that include completely self-describing components. Each component of an application is then identified in an application manifest, which is stored in conjunction with the application. The application manifest also includes information describing the various dependencies of each component of the application. A remote user interested in the application may download the application, as described by the application manifest, to a local storage location. Any shared components of the application are also shared, except that any existing applications that may have depended on a previous version of the shared components continue to depend on the previous version. Different versions of an application are stored locally side-by-side.

Filed:

Jul 30, 2004
Appl. No.:

10/909217
Inventors:

Srivatsan Parthasarathy - Bellevue WA, US
Sanjay Shenoy - Kirkland WA, US

International Classification:

G06F017/00
US Classification:

707102000
Abstract:

Disclosed is a framework to build, deploy, service, and manage customizable and configurable re-usable applications. The framework is defined declaratively as a manifest possessing an identity, namely a strong identity. The application manifest can declare appropriate ways to configure or customize the application securely and provides the ability to only grant such a right to authorized parties. A further aspect of the invention provides a framework for an application deployment to be defined declaratively with a manifest possessing an identity of the customized application. Such a framework offers a way for the system, state infrastructure, setup programs, authoring tools, and management tools to deploy, install, service and manage the customized application using an authoritative composite application identity. The application manifest as well as the deployment manifest can be made available through out the lifecycle of the deployed application—including at runtime—which assists in consistent manipulation of the customized application.

Assignee:

International Classification:

G06F 17/00
US Classification:

726 1
Abstract:

A method and system for enforcing a security policy that is version-independent of a managed environment when loading custom code for a host application is provided. A security system of the managed environment receives an identifier of custom code to be loaded by the host application. Before loading the identified custom code, the managed environment enforces the security policy using the security system. The security system applies the security policy expressed using a version-independent indication of identifiers of untrusted custom code. If the security system determines that the trust of the custom code is unknown, then the security system requests a trust manager associated with the host application to enforce a host application-specific security policy. When the custom code is trusted, the managed environment loads the custom code.
