Updated: June 11, 2010
Applies To: Windows 7, Windows Vista
The Windows® Compatibility Evaluator (WCE) enables you to identify issues that relate to the Graphical Identification and Authentication (GINA) DLL files, to services running in Session 0 in a production environment, and to any application components deprecated in the newest version of the Windows operating system.
You configure the WCE in the Application Compatibility Manager when you create a data-collection package for the deployment of a new operating system. After the evaluator runs, you can also use the Application Compatibility Manager to view your issues in report form.

| The Windows Compatibility Evaluator (WCE) cannot run on a computer that is already running the Windows 7 operating system. Due to what this evaluator attempts to address, you would already be experiencing issues on the Windows 7 operating system, and you would not require the assistance of the ACT to provide more information. |
