BoxedApp SDK Use Cases and Code Samples

Real-world scenarios for application virtualization: virtual files, registry, DLL embedding, API hooking, in-memory processes, encrypted media, and more.

Core Virtualization

Launch Processes from Memory

Run executables directly from memory as virtual processes; no disk writes.

Launch Processes from Memory Example

Virtual Files

Create and use in-memory virtual files as the base of the virtualization layer.

Virtual Files Example

Registry Keys

Emulate registry keys and values via the virtual registry API.

Registry Keys Example

Integration & APIs

API Hooking

Intercept and reroute function calls at runtime (Detours-style) using SDK APIs.

API Hooking Example

Load DLL From Memory

Package DLLs as virtual files and load them without touching the disk.

Load DLL From Memory Example

Security & Media

Encrypted Video Playback

Stream and decrypt protected video without exposing raw assets.

Encrypted Video Playback Example

Advanced Scenarios

Embed COM Interop DLLs

Bundle COM Interop DLLs in a .NET Application as virtual files.

Embed COM Interop DLLs Example

Embed System.Data.SQLite & deps

Bundle System.Data.SQLite.dll and SQLite.Interop.dll as virtual files.

Embed System.Data.SQLite & deps Example

Merge Unmanaged DLLs (BxILMerge)

Reduce external dependencies by merging unmanaged DLLs.
