本文介绍Microsoft Windows中的一种解决方案——隔离应用与侧边组件，该方案减少了Windows客户端应用程序中的版本冲突问题。开发者可以创建完全自包含且不受系统注册表或其他组件版本影响的应用程序。通过使用清单文件，可以在全局或每个应用程序的基础上管理侧边组件的共享。

Purpose

Isolated Applications and Side-by-side Assemblies is a Microsoft Windows solution that reduces versioning conflicts in Windows-client applications.

With Windows, application developers can build isolated applications that are fully self-describing and unaffected by changes to the registry, other applications, or other versions of assemblies running on the system. Application authors and administrators can use manifests to manage the sharing of side-by-side assemblies after deployment on either a global or per-application basis. Customers benefit from isolated applications that are more stable and more reliably updated.

Where Applicable

Isolated applications and side-by-side assembly sharing can be used to develop applications that safely share operating system assemblies. Developers can use this technology to correct DLL versioning conflicts caused by an incompatible version of a shared assembly.

If your application must consistently get the version of a component you have tested, it is possible to isolate your application so that it will always be run with the tested version of the component on the user's computer.

Developer Audience

This documentation is primarily intended for software developers, application developers, and network administrators:

Software developers who want to create isolated applications that will use the side-by-side assemblies made available by Microsoft and other side-by-side assembly publishers.
Application developers who are interested in creating their own side-by-side assemblies to isolate their applications.
Network administrators who want more information about isolated applications.

As the primary reference for side-by-side assembly sharing and isolated applications, this documentation provides general background information about authoring manifests and side-by-side assemblies, installing isolated applications and side-by-side assemblies, and using the Activation Context API.

Run-Time Requirements

Windows Vista, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003 is required to use side-by-side assemblies and manifests to isolate applications and to use the Activation Context API. On Windows 2000, corporate administrators can partially isolate applications by using .local files and DLL/COM redirection.
