Re: [WiX-users] Setting Compatibility Mode on shortcut for all users
You might need to deploy a shim db, though you'd have to define the specific
compatibly settings you need.

I just tried setting Windows 7 compatibility in the app manifest and removing
the tick-box on the shortcut - but alas that makes our application fail. It's
using a third party ODBC driver that doesn't seem to work unless we have the
tick-box selected on the short-cut.

Wouldn't the right way be to manifest the EXE declaring which version of
Windows it is compatible with, and let the newer OS's decide if they need to
shim the app?

It might be works as designed. Raymond Chen appears adamant that it shouldn't
be done in an install anyway:

Re: [WiX-users] Setting Compatibility Mode on shortcut for all users
Although making the appropriate shortcut during installation is the best answer
normally - If it isn't working this way could you create the per user shortcut
a different way after installation completes. Maybe Active Directory policy or
