RUNNING ADD-ON COMPONENTS IN VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS

摘要

Systems and methods for running add-on components in virtual environments are described. An add-on component can be executed in a virtual environment by setting up a communication link between a component proxy in the host operating system and a server process running in the virtual environment. The server process executes the add-on component based on commands forwarded from the operating system via the component proxy.

1. A system comprising:
a computing device having an operating system; and a memory a memory communicatively coupled to the computing device, the memory having stored thereon computer readable instructions that, when executed by the computing device, causes the computing device to instantiate at least:
a component proxy executing within the operating system;a virtual environment executing on the computing device;a component server process executing within the virtual environment that is configured to communicate with the component proxy, wherein the component server process includes one or more add-on components; anda virtual application executing within the virtual environment, wherein the one or more add-on components are associated with the virtual environment, wherein the component server process, in response to receiving commands from the component proxy executing within the operating system, executes the commands within the virtual environment.
