HowTo delete app compat. settings?

Posted: 11-23-2006, 06:44 AM
HI!

Vista has automagically made some compatibility settings for some
applications, namely "ElevateCreateProcess".

How can I delete these settings (I want to try again with a different
version of the apps)?

I can see them in the Compatibility Wizard and in the Application
Compatibility Manager (from ACT 5.0). But neither of them seem to be
able to delete these settings.

Thanks!

Thomas

I think you want to use the program sdbinst.exe in the windows system32
folder.

Usage: sdbinst [-?] [-q] [-u] [-g] [-p] [-n[:WIN32|WIN64]] foo.sdb | {guid}
| "name"

-? - print this help text.
-p - Allow SDBs containing patches.
-q - Quiet mode. No message boxes will appear.
-u - Uninstall.
-g {guid} - GUID of file (uninstall only).
-n "name" - Internal name of file (uninstall only).

Hmm, as far as I understand, this tool is to install and uninstall user
compatibility databases.

But I have not installed such a thing. I am looking to remove the
compatibility settings, that Vista itself has done.
