Use of #pragma compile ( Compability ... )

[DagSa]

Hi,
Could someone explain the use of the Compability parameter?

I have used AutoIT several years and its a fantastic tool and I have made severals small apps to convert data.
Currenly I still have AutoIT installed in a windows XP 32-bits computer, and so have all installations been for the executes as well.
I need to know how this parameter is being used due to I think some of the apps dodnt work properly in newer windows.
Command is from helpfile:
#pragma compile(Compatibility, win8)  ; Possible parameters: vista, win7, win8, win81 (Sets the compatibility in the compiled executable manifest.)

What happend to set to win81? Could it be running safe in both Windows XP POS and Windows 8.1?
