First posted to MSDN on Nov, 22 I wanted to document a bit of detail about managing the Program Compatibility Assistant, a bit of technology we added for Windows Vista and have been enhancing since that time — I figured it was probably time that we came out with an update for Windows 7.

Installation Failure In this scenario, we look to see if you are detected as an installer, using UAC installer detection.

If so, we compare the Uninstall registry key both before and after the installer is run. If nothing new appears, we guess that you might have failed, and display a PCA prompt. We used to have a lot of trouble with this one, as we still ran it even if you had a UAC manifest indicating asInvoker a fairly good indication you are not an installer and tried to install a VISTARTM layer, but based on your feedback I successfully campaigned to get this removed in a February Windows Update.

I have no idea why we still bother to show you a dialog box. When we find one, we give the user the chance to check for a solution online.

Undetected Installer This scenario looks for applications which are not detected as setups by UAC setup detection, but which try to create a new folder in Program Files which we detect using UAC virtualization events — so UAC virtualization needs to be enabled to satisfy this scenario.
