Hello all,
I am currently running a project to migrate the company from XP to Win 7. We are exploring the options of virtualising incompatible windows xp/98/95/etc applications in our Windows 7 desktop environment.
We are looking at using products such as ThinApp, SWV or the Microsoft equivalent. The problem i have at the minute is that when i try to launch an incompatible app in windows 7 (for example, adobe reader 5) i will get the standard "not compatible" message, yet it will go on to run fine! I have checked the xp compatibility checkbox and that is unticked, so im stumped.
I've had this issue with multiple applications, and i have failed to find one that will refuse to run in Windows 7, but will run when virtualised using a package such as ThinApp.
My question is: does anyone know of any freeware available to download that won't run in Windows 7 but will run when virtualised? I have checked the following thread: http://windows7forums.com/windows-7-software/1322-incompatible-windows-7-programs.html, but i can't find anything in there that refuses to work. Im ideally looking for an application with a UI (for demo reasons).
Thanks in advance.
