发明名称 SYNTHETIC DEVICE FOR INSTALLATION SOURCE MEDIA
摘要 In one embodiment, a computer system provides a process for executing software that cannot be executed in a first configuration. The computer system determines source media for the software stored in a first data store, the source media being in the first configuration. The computer system retrieves metadata relating to executing the software from the source media. The computer system next transforms the retrieved metadata to generate a second configuration of the source media according to a transformation rule set, where the software can be executed in the second configuration, and stores the transformed metadata in a second data store. Next, the computer system presents the second configuration of the source media based on the transformed metadata. Thereafter, the computer system satisfies a request relating to executing the software using the transformed metadata in the second data store, wherein the request is satisfied based on the second configuration.

主权项 1. A method for executing software that cannot be executed in a first configuration, the method comprising: determining, by a computer system, source media for the software stored in a first data store, the source media being in the first configuration; retrieving, by the computer system, metadata relating to executing the software from the source media; transforming, by the computer system, the retrieved metadata to generate a second configuration of the source media according to a transformation rule set, wherein the software can be executed in the second configuration; storing, by the computer system, the transformed metadata in a second data store; presenting, by the computer system, the second configuration of the source media based on the transformed metadata; receiving, by the computer system, a request relating to executing the software, the request directed to the second configuration of the source media; and satisfying, by the computer system, the request using the transformed metadata in the second data store, wherein the request is satisfied based on the second configuration.
