How do I programmitcally launch EXE by disabling compatibility mode?
User launches my EXE runs in compatibility mode which launches another EXE but I don't want the child EXE to inherit the compatibility mode settings. How do I achieve it? Cannot find any resources which makes this work.
I tried CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP but it does not work.
I'm using ShellExecuteEx to launch the child EXE (it requires administrative privilege)

Wouldn't it be easier to launch the parent process without compatibility mode?

Ask them not to use compat mode is the easiest way. Will you program function without compat mode?
