Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and software for computer application installation. In one example, a method of computer application installation includes executing a computer application installer. The method further provides, interrupting the computer application installer with a clean install mechanism, and forcing installation of all application components even if one or more of the application components was previously installed.

Abstract: Examples disclosed herein provide systems, methods, and software for minimizing Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) limitations on virtual machines are disclosed herein. In one example, a method of operating a volume combining system to combine volumes for a virtual machine includes identifying two or more volumes to be attached to the virtual machine. The method further provides combining the two or more volumes into a single volume, and attaching the single volume to the virtual machine.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and software for attaching applications to a computing device based on a file type selection. In one example, a method for operating a an application attaching system to dynamically make applications available to a computing device includes identifying an application attach triggering event based on a file selection of a certain file type on the computing device. The method further includes, in response to the application attach triggering event, identifying an application within an application volume based on the certain file type. The method also includes attaching the application volume to computing device, and associating the application to the certain file type on the computing device.
