1595	SupportedOS ID for manifest	sklocke	trancexx	"== Introduction ==

With Windows 7, Microsoft introduces a new section in an application's manifest called {{{Compatibility}}}. In this section, entries {{{supportedOS ID=<fixed value for OS>}}} can be entered.
Currently, there exist fixed values for Windows Vista and Windows 7. Under Windows Vista and XP, this section is ignored.

One effect an entry for Windows 7 made in this section has is to disable the Program Compatibility Assisstant dialog that comes up under certain conditions and sometimes wrongly suggests to restart an executable in XP mode (which could break automated installation processes). I do not know all other effects, but Microsoft will at least tie down level support to these entries.

== Feature request ==

Add option for Au2Exe to respectively include the Windows 7 or Windows Vista ID in this section of the manifest.
