Summary:A software installation method comprising receiving an instruction to install a first software entity 161, 162, 171, 172 in a first computing environment 100, establishing a virtual computing environment 150 consisting of a hypervisor 130 and operating system 140, in the first computing environment 100, and installing the software entity in the virtual computing environment 150, wherein the establishing and the installing are subject to a determination that a user is not privileged or the user is untrusted or unverified to install the first software entity in the first computing environment. Establishing and installing may also be subject to the computing environment where the software is to be installed not fulfilling the hardware/software requirements necessary for installation/operation of the software. This method allows a user to install software in a sandbox testing environment even if they are without the necessary privileges to do so or there is a lack or the necessary hardware/software requirements.
