Overview Logo Toolkit Objectives: Provide software publishers a quick and agile, automated, light weight command-line tool to verify their application’s compliance against the Windows 7 Software Logo requirements. Minimum System Requirements: 1GHz 64bit (x64) Processor 1gb Ram 40gb hard drive with a minimum of 15gb free space Clean, 64bit, Windows 7 installation

9 Software Requirements 1.Implement a clean, reversible installation. The application must be able to roll back the installation 2.The application must install to the correct folders by default 3.All executable files must be digitally signed with an Authenticode signature. All kernel-mode drivers installed by the application must include a Microsoft signature obtained through the WHQL or DRS programs. 4.The application must install and run under the 64-bit version of Windows bit applications must run and install seamlessly on the 64-bit version of Windows 7. 5.Applications must not be blocked based on specific version of the operating system. 6.Applications must follow User Account Control (UAC) guidelines and avoid exposing the system to security risks. 7.Applications must adhere to Windows Restart Manager Messages. Applications must not block operating system shutdown requests. 8.Applications must not load services and drivers in Safe Mode. 9.Applications must support concurrent user sessions without causing conflict or disruption, or impacting the functionality of the application. User privacy and preferences must be isolated inside the user’s session.

The tools Take an initial inventory on a clean system prior to installing the application by running the wslk.exe [/preinstall /32bit | /64bit] command. Install your application. Compare the state of the system after installation with the initial inventory by using the wslk.exe /postinstall command. Take another baseline inventory of the system state by using the wslk.exe /preuninstall command. Uninstall the application. Complete the post processing analysis by running wslk.exe /postuninstall. Generate a report for the application by running wslk.exe /createreport [path & filename] command.

Interpreting The Results There are three possible outcomes for each test:  PASS – no issues  PASS WITH WARNINGS – application meets Logo requirements, but has issues that can be addressed, room for improvement  FAIL – application fails Logo requirements and requires a waiver or code change to be granted Logo status Additional information is provided including the impact of warnings or failures, and information on how to fix the issue, including links to guidance and best practices.
