Compatibility mode for what?

BTW, the "compatibility mode" in Windows is for old (legacy) applications
only (e.g. source code lost, no updates for Win7/Win8.x/Win10 available,
developer not available any longer, etc.). See "Set App Compatibility
Mode..." script function.

In modern applications, you set the compatibility with a manifest. For
example, if your application is compatible and tested with Windows 10, then
you embed a Windows 10 manifest into your application (see "#embed UAC
manifest..." compiler directive in SetupBuilder). If it is only compatible
and tested with, say, Windows up to 8.1 then you should only embed a Windows
8.1 manifest.

SetupBuilder 10 created setups are Windows 10 and Server 2016 compliant.
