Installation Compatability (W2K)

[dmking43]

I remember an article that explained when installing an application on Windows 2000 and you receive a message that the app requires Nt 4.0 or higher, you could go to a GUI and choose the Operating system and Service pack and then install the applications. I can not find where the GUI is located. Can anyone point me in the right direction, Thanks for the help

GUI is Graphical User Interface, or in other words it is Windows.

I think this is what you want.
Compatibility Mode
This is a function built into Windows® XP, and added to
Windows® 2000 as of service pack 2.

(To enable it on Windows® 2000, execute the command
''regsvr32 %systemroot%\apppatch\slayerui.dll''
from the Run prompt or a command console(without the quotes). You will need
Administrator priveledges to enable this. Service Pack 2 or higher must be
installed. This will add a tab to execution shortcuts called 'Compatibility'.
You may want to check first to see if compatibility mode is already available.
Do not do this in Windows® XP -- you already have it active by default.)
If your windows directory is named "winnt" then it's
regsvr32 c:\winnt\apppatch\slayerui.dll
