I have used Application Verifier against an app installer to fake an XP SP2
environment on my Windows 2003 server. I created a new project against
setup.exe, compatibility/HighVersionLie and entered the settings for XP SP2.
Then I got an error message telling me I needed a debugger to do this.
Anyhow, went ahead and saved projet. Once done with my install, I opened
Application Verifier again and deleted the entry for setup.exe. I thought
this was the end of it.
But... now many other apps refuse to install saying that I don't even have
2003 and sp1! And indeed, when I open resysinfo.exe it now says XP SP2.
Is there anything to do, beyond deleting the application in Application
Verifier to reset the playing field?
Notes:
* I have checked the registry for HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current
Version and things look correct there (2003 SP2).
* winver returns the proper information (2003 SP2).
* I have rebooted
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.
