Windows Compatibility Issue...Please HELP!

[Guest]

I need to find out if Compatibility Mode uses a registry entry to enable
compatibility under another OS (e.g. Win95, NT4, Win2000). The reason is I am
deploying a program through SMS and one .exe file seems to be stable only
under 2000 compatibility mode. I wanted to create a script that would add the
reg. string (if any) to enable Compatibility Mode for the specific .exe file.

Any help would be appreciated,

Yes there is a registry srting for this.
HKEY_CURRENT_USERS\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers
Create a new string. In the value name type the full path of the file where
the flag
is needed. (i.e. c:\windows\system 32\somefile.exe) In the data field type
the OS the file is compatible with. (i.e. If the file is compatible with
Windows 2000 then
enter WIN2000 in the data field.)
Hope this helps.
