Setting Windows 8 compatibility mode via ADK

I'm using the Compatibility Administrator Windows ADK for Windows 8.1 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=39982) . I'm trying to set WIndows 8 compatibility
mode via the Compatibility Administrator, but I only see Windows Vista SP2 as the most recent compatibility mode - Windows 7 or Windows 8 are not available. 
By comparison, I can set those modes via Windows Explorer.  Is there a newer ADK available?

Hi,
This forum is to discuss application compatibility testing, common compatibility issues, and best practices for creating Windows-based applications. In other words, this is a development forum. According to your description, I’m afraid that it is not the
correct forum about this issue because your question is about how to use ADK tool. I am moving your question to the moderator forum ("Where is the forum for..?"). The owner of the forum will direct you to a right forum. Thanks for your understanding.

  • Windows compatability mode

  • How to set Compatibility mode of an EXE file???

    Hi,
    I'm in a bit of a pickle, got a problem with an EXE which we need to set to "Windows 2000 Compatibility Mode" using a script.
    I need to update an existing .exe file on several hundred computers, and was planning on using Group Policy to run a VBscript on login to change the properties on that .exe file so that its in 2000 compatibility mode.
    Can anyone help me knock up a quick vbsript to do this please. I've spent some time looking, but no articles on setting the compatibilty attribute of exe files.

    Hi, you can set compatibility mode via the registry for all users under:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers
    Create a REG_SZ value under this key with a name of the path to your exe, for example "C:\Apps\Myprog.exe" and then the value will be "WIN2000".
    You can script this by running regedit.exe to apply an exported .reg file, or to run reg.exe to create the values by running something like:
    REG.EXE ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers /v "C:\Apps\Myprog.exe" /t REG_SZ /d "WIN2000" /f
    or you could use StdRegProv, see here.
    Hope this helps,

  • How to set Compatibility Mode for a single site in ie10

    This question was originally posted on the Answers forum -
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie10-windows_7/how-to-set-compatibility-mode-for-a-single-site-in/187152e3-142a-4d96-8d1b-af82ef571eec
    I am having problem with getting ie10 to set ie9 compatibility for a single site (sharepoint.contoso.com).
    When I add this website in Compatibility View Settings (Alt > Tools > Compatibility View Settings > 'Add this Website') it adds the domain 'contoso.com' and not the individual website (sharepoint.contoso.com).
    This cause other sites (www.contoso.com) to be configured to use compatibility mode. Because this is a separate site (different web server) to the site sharepoint.contoso.com (sharepoint 2010 server) we need different compatibility settings.
    Using a different example to explain the issue -
    Microsoft has three websites that are different websites created by different developers written in different programming languages and they only work with certain browsers.
    microsoft.com (Website1 created by Developer1) - compatible with ie8/ie9/ie10
    msdn.microsoft.com (Website2 created by Developer2) - compatible with ie8/ie9
    technet.microsoft.com (Website3 website created by Developer3) - compatible only with ie10
    The only thing the three website share is the URL contains 'microsoft.com'.
    Marking 'msdn.microsoft.com' to run in compatibility mode affects the other 2 websites - mainly technet.microsoft.com which will not work now since it only runs in pure ie10 mode. 
    Should you be able to add an individual site to the compatibility list instead of all sites that have  .microsoft.com in the URL? Am I missing a simple setting in the ie10?
    As a workaround I am using the F12 Developer Tools to set the Browser Mode which temporary sets the compatibility mode. However this is not a nice solution to the end users at our organisation. 

    problem is not solved for non corporate environments...
    You could start your own thread.  Then if you got that answer and it was marked Answered you would have the ability to unmark it.  The OP of this one seems satisfied.  Also note that this is TechNet.  Consumers can get help on Answers
    forums.

    Oh! I wrote it wrong: I should have said: This is not solved for NON-AD environments. No demands what so ever to use Window 7/8 professional in a small corporation or on a big corporation with Island of smaller departments for example offshore.
    The problem is that the thread is not "Answered" by the OP, its is marked answered by a moderator (and same moderator that did the answer) so no way of telling if the OP is satisfied.
    But you are right in the fact that I am almost kidnapping the thread. But a complete answer would benefit all in this case I would presume.

  • Install DeskJet 720C in compatibility mode in Windows 8.1

    Hi
    I have a Deskjet 720C than work fine on my Window 7 64 bit system.
    Now I want to use it on a Windows 8.1 64 bit system.
    The driver installed with Windows Update does not work.
    Can I install it in compatibility mode?
    How do I do that?
    There is no driver installation file that I can set into compatibility mode, but only the Window Update way of getting the driver.
    What do I do?
    Jens

    The Deskjet 720c driver does not work in Windows 8.1 x64 and there is currently not any workaround that I know of.  The 32 bit version of the driver will work in 32 bit Windows 8 or 8.1 systems.  The patch available here for 64 bit versions of Vista and Windows 7 does not work in Windows 8 or 8.1.  I would suggest you subscribe to that thread, if any workaround is developed it would be posted there.

  • X61 - new drive, sata must be set to compatibility - why?

    I'm refurbishing an X61 for a new user.  It had serious case damage--hinges were broken, so I sent it off to Lenovo and it looks like new.  I thought I would also put a Seagate SSHD in it - ST500LM000.
    I cloned the old drive to the new one using Acronis TrueImage.
    All seemed to go well, except that I had to do a couple of iterations of startup repair when I started the machine with the new drive installed.
    However, after that, things went very strange:  1) When I attempted to download any file in IE10 (windows 7 enterprise, fully patched)  clicking on the resultant dialog box did nothing--I had to run firefox to download any file.  2) Windows update would not run--the wuauserv service was not running and could not be started.  3) eventually, the machine started giving "non-genuine" warnings. 
    Since one of the fixes for non-genuine was to do an upgrade install, I tried that--used 64 bit enterprise upgrade windows 7, and it went through what appeared to be the whole install and at the end said:  Windows setup cannot configure Windows for this hardware." and rolled back.
    Reading about that message led me to discussions about missing RAID drivers, and that got me to try switching between AHCI and Compatibility.
    With the bios set to compatibility (2.22) the system works fine--no non-genuine warnings, windows update works, I can download files in any browser I choose.
    The system is up to date according to system update 5.  I even downloaded the 13 hotfixes for Windows 7 64 bit listed in the download center and applied them one by one to see if SU missed anything.  To my surprise, 3 of them DID install, but made no apparent difference to the behavior.
    I'm perplexed--This is not a large drive--500 Gigs.  I've read messages here about SSDs and large drives in x61, and it seems it should be fine.  When set in compatibility mode, the Intel Matrix Storage Manager complains its driver isn't properly installed, but that is the only sign of anything awry.
    Performance seems excellent--I think the hard drive number in the Windows Experience Index went from 5.2 to 5.9.
    I can certainly leave it set this way, but I'd like to understand why--anybody have a good idea?
    Bill Sanderson
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Bill,
    That drive is an advanced format drive - 4096 bytes per sector: http://www.seagate.com/files/www-content/product-content/momentus-fam/momentus-xt/laptop-sshd/en-us/...
    This can cause a number of issues with pre-SP1 Windows 7 and friends.  Even if you're at SP1, there is a matrix storage manager version around that can also cause problems.  Your update install was maybe from pre-SP1 media?
    A few things to try would be a MS fix (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982018), rerunning the SP1 update, trying a different Intel storage driver.  You may need to do one or all of these things _before_ the clone op.

  • Firefox will not run after System restore or running in compatibility mode for windows 98. How do I fix this? I already tried all other solutions on this site.

    I was running Firefox fine just yesterday. I screwed up the registry a litle while removing an installed program completely, so I restored the system and everything appeared to work fine. I then decided to play an old video game, Return to Krondor, which was made back in 1998, so I ran the program with no other programs running in compatibility for windows 98. After finishing the game, I closed it and put the computer in hibernation mode. I come back today and firefox will not run at all. It is not running in the background and there are no programs running. There are no services running which could interfere with it. I think somehow Firefox may think I'm in compatibility mode still, but I have no idea.
    I'm running windows Vista 32 - bit with an AMD 2.4ghz processor, 4gb ram on an Emachine computer. I have already tried system restore, restart, processes etc. Nothing works. I can still run Internet explorer and all other programs.

    The person that I was assisting, has Windows 7 which has 64 bit system. Her browser was IE 10.
    Was IE11 ever offered (or installed) via Windows Update?
    Is her computer currently fully-patched at Windows Update?
    Is Adobe Shockwave Player v12.1 (or higher) installed on her computer?

  • Windows 7's Compatibility Mode Behavior

    I am reproducing this question which I posted to superuser.com a while back, without getting any response. I need to know the answer to this question; more and more of my users are encountering this problem. 
    http://superuser.com/questions/743064/windows-7s-compatibility-mode-behavior
    Consider the Application Compatibility Mode settings for a typical Windows program:
    The question is: What exactly will happen to the environment (specifically, the access to C:\ProgramData) supplied by Windows to the program when the only change is to configure the properties for compatibility with WinXP SP3, as follows:
    The background:
    An application that was last updated during Windows XP's heyday is now giving us some problems. Specifically, it's tuned to use a .NET library to write some files to a subdirectory in the %ALLUSERSPROFILE% area (on Windows 7, that's
    typically C:\ProgramData) which are vital to the application's licensing. The files themselves are plain text files.
    These text files are created and written using a much newer and separate .NET program which functions properly, writing the files in the correct place. But then running the older program doesn't read the files correctly; we haven't been able to determine
    exactly what's going on.
    Many users are finding that setting compatibility mode makes it possible for the system to run correctly. I need to understand that much better.
    -- Rob

    But that is not the question. The question is, "What is the list of shims and what does each of them do? "
    As I pointed out, they're plain text files written to a subdirectory in %ALLUSERSPROFILE%. The installer requires administrator mode and then sets the rights on the subdirectory to "Full Control" for "Users" after it creates the folder.

  • Windows 7 Compatibility Mode Error when Compatibility Mode is OFF

    I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on my Dell Studio XPS 16.
    When I launch iTunes, I get the "iTunes has been set to run in compatibility mode. For best results, turn Compatibility Mode off" message. The program is NOT set to run in compatibility mode. The program works fine otherwise but I don't understand why I get this error message.
    Background: I ran the installer as an administrator and the program is set to run as administrator. I've tried reinstalling twice.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    First head into your Compatibility tab and check to make sure that all the checkboxes are are unchecked. (Having any checkbox whatsoever in there checked can cause a compatibility mode message, including "run as administrator".)
    If all your checkboxes are unchecked, and you're still getting the same compatibility mode error, you may have a problem with a rogue registry entry that can hit some folks in their iTunes and/or QuickTime on 64-bit systems. For a discussion on how to get past that (on Windows 7 64 bit), see RandomBehavior's post in the following thread:

    Can anybody share any tips to run a set of SQLs in background in batch mode via SQL developer in Windows 7 environment
    am trying something as below but not succeeding though
    1) Create a .txt file name 'mysqlfile.txt' in desktop which contains the below statements
    Create table A
    Create table B

    SQL Developer doesn't have a command-line interface to support what you're looking for.
    You could use SQL*Plus.
