• Altiris Software Virtualization Solution (SVS) is a great program for people like me who used to try a big amount of software before take the decision to use it. It creates a virtual layer whithin you are installing the software you want to test (even an upgrade to an existing installation) and if you don't want to keep it, the only thing you have to do is to delete the created layer. No registry garbage, neither left-over files.

• But what happens if Altiris Software Virtualization Solution (SVS) refuses to install? To me it happened and after a research that I made, I discovered that it is something very common globaly.

• After many different approaches I finally did the installation in silent mode. So, follow the next steps if you want to do the same:

1. Create a folder in your root hard drive ( C:\altiris ) and copy there the Software_Virtualization_Agent.EXE installation Setup file.
2. Run the C:\altiris\Software_Virtualization_Agent.EXE Setup file to begin the installation normally.
3. Get your free Altiris-SVS Product License Key from Altiris Web Site when you'll prompt and type it in the appropriate text entry.
4. Mark all the Check boxes (four of them) at the selections panel and wait until the installation error appears.
5. Close the failed installation's window.
6. In the same with the C:\altiris\Software_Virtualization_Agent.EXE directory, a Window's installer .MSI file have been extracted = C:\altiris\Software_Virtualization_Agent.msi.
7. Go to: Start > Run and type CMD [enter].
8. Type: CD\ [enter]
9. Type: C: [enter]
10.Type: CD altiris [enter]
11.Type exactly as it is in a single line (better Copy/Paste): msiexec.exe /qn /i Software_Virtualization_Agent.msi PRODUCT_KEY=[Product License Key from step 3 without the brackets] INSTALL_ADMIN=1 REBOOT=ReallySuppress
12.Reboot your system.
