Legacy application and folder virtualization issues
There is a legacy application installed on Windows Server 2008 R2. It's x32 and installed in c:\program files x86 Everything works fine, except for one scenerio: application generates (itself) an RTF-file and saves it in its' folder (on this sped virtualization redirects file into virtualstore); application executes (probalby ShellExecute) the RTF file... but Word 2010 (is aware of Windows XP and virtualization is not applied) tries to open file in APP folder - the file that is no exist. So, is there any settings that can help to solve the issue? Thanks a lot.

There is not option to ask developer. The question is about virtualization technology, so why should I use Word forum? The same problem is confirmed with 7Zip and WinRAR applications. Can anybody give me a hint?!

We need folder virtualization and don't want to disable it. Application is installed in Program Files (x86) on purpose - to enable virtualization.

Hi Could you please try to edit the below registry to have a try? Before you edit it, I advise you backup it first. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbars\Restrictions] "DisableToolbarUpgrader"=dword:00000001 "NoCommandBar"=dword:00000001 "NoLinksBar"=dword:00000001 "NoNavBar"=dword:00000001 Thanks, Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

I've found the solution: using ACT 5.6 I set "RunAsInvoker" flag for Word and other applications. So that application (even been aware of Vista) started with virtualization flag.
