[ros-dev] ReactOS versioning

[Huw Campbell]

SxS uses hard links, not symlinks.
Seems like the way to go too, as we're already hitting the boundary with common controls and it's how windows does version compatibly.

It might also be useful to employ some form of heuristics as UAC does. Things like file name detection, string table detection, marked processes via user defined requests or a hash database, etc. Perhaps even scanning the imports (although this is harder to manage due to people using GetProcAddress to detect OS version)

1. We need a method to specify which application should be run in which environment. We should probably use the same mechanism that is used on Windows. Compatibility information is stored in a registry key HKCU\Software\Microsodt\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\... The trick is to make this easy / transparent for the user. A right-click -> properties -> compatibility approach should for now probably be the easiest thing,
