Proposed Title
FoUtilities: Utility and Components Manager

Area of Investigation The proposed system is to implement a Desktop Application that manages
desktop utility and component software and files in a quick, easy and orderly manner.
The software and language to be used in developing said system are Visual Studio Code
(made by Microsoft) and Python.
Desktop Application means any software that can be installed on a single
computer (laptop or a desktop) and used to perform specific tasks.
The algorithm to be implemented will be utilizing …….
FoUtilities is an application manager than mainly focuses on utilities and
components on a Windows PC platform. The proposed system is to manage utility and
components software and files (i.e. vcredist, directx, .net framework, ps3 bios) by
enabling the user to download and manually or automatically install them through the
manager and deleting the installation files by default to save space and for cleaner
installation. This system also notifies if there are updates or new files added on the site,
and also has written and video tutorials for users who chose to manually install the
utility software. This system also has recommendations and organized by category.
The advantage of this is it makes installation of utilities and components
software and files quicker, easier, cleaner and less complex. Helps to ease the learning
curve for non tech-savvy users. Allows users to discover lots of unpopular, yet great
utility and component software, which in turn also helps the developers. Helps the user
to be up-to-date with their utility and components software and files, and give them
recommendations based on their needs.
The proposed system will have seven (6) different modules such as Home,
Components, Utilities, Manage, Settings and About.
The Home will show recommendations of components and utilities based on
what you download and your chosen preference setting. It will also show new additions
and sponsored apps.
The Components will show components in groups, depending on their use and
relation to each other. The groups will be displayed in a vertical oval box, and can be
enlarged for better view. The components will be shown in an ASCII sort order, and will
have a “download” button on its right side. By clicking the button, it will start a
download process.
The Utilities will show utility software in groups, depending on their use and
relation to each other. The groups will be displayed in a vertical oval box, and can be

enlarged for better view. The utilities will be shown in an ASCII sort order, and will have
a “download + install” button on its right side. By clicking the “download + install
button”, two buttons will appear below it, namely “manual install” and “automatic
install”. By clicking either of them, it will start a download process, and send an
instruction to the Manage tab depending on what the user chose.
The Manage tab will include a Download/Update and Library section. In the
Download/Update section, this will show all the downloads happening at the time.
The modules, and software and language to be used are not final and some
changes may occur.
Reasons for Choice of Project The proposed system aims to remove additional steps and room for errors in
the process of installing utility and components software and files, and also allowing the
user have up-to-date version. The system also aims to help both tech-savvy and non
tech-savvy users by making it easier for them to find what they need and install it
cleanly and correctly. The system also aims for the software and their developers to be
more known to the masses
Importance of the Study

Target Users/Beneficiary The proposed system can be used by both tech-savvy and non tech-savvy users,
and also developers who wants to showcase their utility and component software and
files.

Similarity with any Previous The proposed system had similarities with Mod Organizer 2 by Tannin and its
Study/Project community. Mod Organizer 2 (MO2) is an open-source tool for managing mod
collections of arbitrary size. It is specifically designed for Bethesda games and people
who like to experiment with mods and thus need an easy and reliable way to install and
uninstall them.
