Forcing Windows 7 Compatibility mode

102 views Asked by At

I'm finishing up development on a Qt/C++ program developed on Windows 7, and it seems that it only works on Windows 8 when run with Windows 7 compatibility (I'm guessing because of some WinAPI it uses). I would like this to be the default setting for the program so the user does not have to do it themselves. Is this possible?

You could try ensuring the executable manifest has the appropriate supportedOS values: See the Program Compatibility Assistant section in http://blogs.msdn.com/b/chuckw/archive/2013/09/10/manifest-madness.aspx for more info.
