Multimedia Application Compatibility

  • Article

The Multimedia Application Compatibility component is a macro component that bundles most of the components that are used to provide multimedia services for Microsoft® Windows®. This component bundles components that support features such as GDI, kernel streaming, DirectX®, OpenGL, and Windows Media®.

Add the Multimedia Application Compatibility component to your configuration to help with testing and troubleshooting issues in your configuration that are related to application compatibility. You can use this macro component to find missing dependencies in your run-time image. After the component is added to your configuration and your application works, you can exclude unnecessary components from the configuration to reduce the footprint of your run-time image.
