Abstract: Systems and methods for providing information for use in a runtime environment that restricts access such information. An executable is launched prior to launching the runtime environment or runtime application. The executable retrieves information and makes that information available for use in the runtime, for example, by storing the information in a runtime file system area. The runtime or runtime application can then access the information. For example, the executable may retrieve information from a host operating system and then launch a runtime application that uses the information. An application that executes within a runtime and requires runtime external information can be provided as a bundle that includes an executable and the application itself. When the bundle is launched, the executable executes first to retrieve the information and make it available for the runtime. The runtime is then launched and provides the runtime application which can use the information.
