Application Compatibility Scripts

Application Compatibility Scripts

Many applications were not written for and were never intended to work in a multiuser environment. Installing them in their raw state may result in an inability to allow multiple users to take advantage of the application, thus defeating the purpose of the multiuser environment. Due to the success and popularity of MetaFrame and the need for many large and medium- sized companies to install certain applications on a MetaFrame server, the software developers created Application Compatibility Scripts. As their name implies, these scripts are dedicated to fixing or addressing certain issues in applications, making them multiuser enabled.

Application Compatibility Scripts are located in the Application Compatibility Scripts directory in the %SystemRoot% directory. These scripts should be run only against the applications they were intended for.
