Can ISBoxer run program in Compatibility Mode? .bat files?

Hi

I was trying to run game in Compatibility Mode using ISBoxer, but without success.
In my registry i have Compatibility flags/layers set [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers], i can run game directly, and it starts in Compatibility Mode, but when InnerSpace start it, Compatibility Mode is not working. I was trying to run it from .bat file with this code:
Code:
set __COMPAT_LAYER=WIN7RTM
START exefile.exe

but it ends up with error code [0xc00007b]. (when i start game directly from .bat file it works)
so my questions are:
Is it posible to run games in Compatibility Mode using ISBoxer?
Maybe i need to change some parameters in InnerSpace profile config, maybe i need to pre-startup?
How can i set compatibility layers in InnerSpace?

Re: Can ISBoxer run program in Compatibility Mode? .bat files?

The way compatibility modes work breaks compatibility with Inner Space. In older versions it would have crashed because of it; I'd say the behavior you're describing (the compatibility you've configured not working) is an improvement over that. :)

Inner Space can only work on .exe and .dll files, no .bat sorry. I haven't tried this but ... you might be able to wrap your .bat file in cmd.exe and get what you're looking for. You would point Inner Space at cmd.exe, and in the parameters put /c followed by the commandline you want it to do (such as your .bat file).

Ok, i wrapped bat file into exe.
Now when i point to wrapper.exe in Game Profile configuration ["Main executable filename"] it launch wrapper, than game exe file runing in compatibility mode.
Good, but, in Uplink Console i see only "Succesfully executed..." line, session is not launched. Can i manualy start session?

PS:
adding /c set __COMPAT_LAYER=WIN7RTM in profile parameters will not work, game will start in normal mode [not compatibility]. maybe its possible to run this command before running .exe ?

OK, so can you explain why InnerSpace is not starting exe file with settings forced by system [Compatibility Mode is turned on for all users in system] in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers ??? When i start application using other apps [TotalCommander, alternative shells, etc.] or .bat files CompMode is on, only InnerSpace is acting like this.
