Sure. But what if an application was shipped after Vista or Windows Server 2008, but only worked on XP and earlier. Your detection would not work here.
In that case the user is no worse off - they'd still need to look up AppDB and change their settings with winecfg.
I was intending to have some programming logic to download the data from AppDB and apply this to winecfg/the registry. That way the user does not have to look it up, it becomes something that is updated as part of the install process.
For the case where there isn't any AppDB data, the default version of Windows is reported as is done at the moment.
Right, but none of that would be necessary if the heuristic worked in the first place. By having a good heuristic we could at least dramatically cut down on the apps needing this logic.
Thanks, Scott Ritchie
