Application Compatibility Toolkit

Have you ever tested your application compatible with Windows Vista?

Download the Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT) here to assist you to check the compatibility of your application on a new new version of the Microsoft Windows operating system. ACT also enables you to determine how an update to the new version will impact your applications.

You can use the Application Compatibility Manager (ACM) tool to help you to configure, collect, and analyze your data, so you can fix any issues prior to deploying a new operating system in your organization.

There are few developement tools and resources included in the ACT as well:

1. Setup Analysis Tool
The Setup Analysis Tool (SAT) automates the running of application installations while monitoring the actions taken by each application’s installer. The standalone version of SAT can monitor any MSI-based installers and third-party installers. However, the Virtual SAT tool can only monitor MSI-based installers and third-party installers that run unattended.

2. Internet Explorer Test Tool
The Internet Explorer Compatibility Test Tool collects your Web-based issues from Internet Explorer 7, uploads the data to the ACT Log Processing Service, and shows your results in real time.

3. Standard User Analyzer
This is a tool to assist users with diagnosing possible issues in an application that is running as a standard user.
