You can't. If an application uses OIO forms, then it is an "OIO

Try LiveOIO, the Knoppix-based boot disk that runs and installs OIO.

OIO can be a web-based tool for authoring OpenEHR archetypes / OIO forms
and also render/collect data via these archetypes(+templates) and forms.

Maybe - or end-users can simply upload forms into the OIO Library to be
index and shared.
