Compatibility Mode [SOLVED]

[hello90909]

Hi,

I wish to run an application using different compatibility settings.

Anyone know how to do this? To be specific I need to run an application through Windows 8.

Thanks in advance
Harry

Can you elaborate please? I do not understand specifically what you are looking to do and how sandboxie fits in.

On an application I run I have to right click > properties > "Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows 8"

If I don't run it using this compatibility option, the application won't run and crash.

So I'm trying to use sandboxie to run the same application using the same compatibility options.

I hope this makes more sense?

I can think of two things to try, one would be to right click the exe and apply the "Change settings for all users" option near the bottom.
The other would be to use Start.exe to run the program via a shortcut with the /env: option inserted.

Code: Select all

/env:__COMPAT_LAYER=WIN8RTM

I haven't tested either but maybe one will help?

Worked like a charm.
