Set App Compatability

[NewsArchive]

After isntallation my EXE is set to Windows XP compatability mode.

The EXE not have this setting prior to running SetupBuilder.
Setupbuilder manifest script leaves "Compatibility" to none.
I am NOT using the script item "Set App Compatability Mode".

What else could be causing that ?

The behaviour occurs in Windows Server 2003 SP2 and Windows 7.
It does not do this on Windowx XP.

See this one:

The compatibility mode setting is not stored in your EXE. It's stored in
the Windows registry (on the target machine, not your development machine)
and if you or the customer did a compatibility mode modification in the past
(e.g. in a Shortcut) then Windows remembers it.

Hope this helps.

Yes...that is EXCELLENT to know!

Thank you.

I am using "Set App COmpatability" and using it to "REMOVE COMPATIBILITY
MODE" and its working well.

It seems that a compatibility setting was causing Windows 7 UAC to appear.
Removing that compatability and UAC does not appears.

UAC...what a nightmare for me!
