This thing refreshes whenever a reinstall is done..is there any way 2 associate this as a permanent metadata for an application..?

You can apply a shim database for automating the AppCompat flags. You can create a manifest for your executable and distrubute that along with the application. I dont think, there is an option to do it through shims to keep it active even after a re-install.

Lemme check and get back to you, wen i find a solution.

Sounds perfekt:

Now, when we have an app (exe), installed on machine with Compatability issue almost resolved, We can take a snapshot and create MSI. I used this method and it worked in almost all cases for me while packaging apps for Vista. Though its lengthy but I think its easy to do this rather going thru the ACT way. Also, adding the registry to app is another cool way to get out of compatability hangover

Good work VJ
