PROVIDING COM ACCESS TO AN ISOLATED SYSTEM

摘要

The database (namespace) for storing component metadata for an application that is to be run in an isolated environment is isolated by an operating system by storing the component metadata in a local set of information associated with the isolated application instead of in a global namespace. The operating system utilizes this local metadata instead of the global database when components are employed. Registration data for components is placed within a manifest, enabling the operating system to determine the relationship between an application and a component or set of components used by the application.
