| | Hi, I took your reg key and made a VB script for Windows 7: Dim WshShell Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\AppCompat\DisablePCA",00000001,"REG_DWORD" I also added to my script the program compat Flag, in my case Visual studio 2005: WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\{5f66dbae-cad3-468a-83d0-77ace8abc1f6}",00000004,"REG_DWORD" as described here How to disable program fixes and Program Compatibility Assistant warnings in Windows Vista This stopped Program Compatibility Assistant warning when installing Visual studio 2005 . You must run the script and program as admin Last edited by helenp; 16 Mar 2010 at 09:32 AM.. Reason: must run as admin |

| | Going to assume the registry method is the alternative for people who don't have Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate, and Enterpise? |

| | I needed this script so that i could deploy windows 7 and Visual studio 2005 using MS system center. I couldn't use group policy because the visual studio installer runs as part on a task sequence to install windows 7- group policy don't apply until after this has completed. So the script could be used as part of windows 7 & software deployment. Windows 7 enterprise |

Yes, that would be correct, but either option can be used in the Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate, and Enterpise editions as well.  |

| | is it same as disabling "Diagnostic Policy Service" Because i think this service is responsible for these including network problem diagnostic also. |

| | Hello Janmejaya, Almost. While both will stop the Program Compatibility Assistant Warnings, disabling the "Diagnostic Policy Service" may cause unknown issues though since it is not disabled or stopped after applying any of the methods in the tutorial. I would recommend using one of the methods in the tutorial instead. |

| | Hello Carmine, Were you wanting to enable or disable this? If enable, then that would be correct since the REG file removes the entry. If disable, then refresh the Registry Editor window to see if that may be all that it is. |
