Or when you need to re-install your own computer, ...

Hum, not sure for MSI this can be possible, and useful... As the interested is to start the program before the end all files local installed. But for portable EXE, Like ThinApp packages, it is full sense to support, and probably not a big difficult.

The idea here is to package the SVS runtime too along with .VSA Archive. Also instead of .VSA, make it as a single self-executable .EXE / .COM file where all the runtime/ temporary files are sandboxed.
