Run in XP compatibility mode option

Postby Edin » 19 March 2012, 18:01

I have a small app that will not run on Win7, unless "XP compatibility mode" is set on the properties of that app.
It is OK to do that on one computer, but I'm not sure if this will work when I go to another one.
Can you add option to start program(s) in "XP compatibility mode" in application shortcut properties in LiberKey?
Not sure if this was asked previously.
Thank you.

i know you are requesting a new feature for liberkey, but if you want to know there is a cool way to do it using command lines: http://www.nebev.net/blog/?p=54

Command line does not work if you enter that in shortcut or application properties of the app in LiberKey menu.

This is what I have or tried in "commandline parameters:" field:
set __COMPAT_LAYER=WinXPSP3
set __COMPAT_LAYER=WinXPSP3 vKey.exe

Am I doing something wrong?
I know I can setup "launcher" with that command in it, but I would prefer altering properties via LB

I need it to run in WinXP SP3 compatibility mode.
It works on one computer when I go to the app's properties itself, but moved to another location or another computer, that does not follow.
