Requirement (Designed for Microsoft® Windows® Logo)
Certain interactive entertainment authoring tools that are intended only for authoring non-file-based multimedia applications are not required to create applications that support OLE and UNC paths (see Non-File-Based Applications).
However, the developer of this kind of tool must advise customers that if they create a file-based application using this tool (whether or not they use other tools), the application must meet the file-based requirements, including OLE support, to be eligible for the Designed for Microsoft Windows Logo.
As with other development tools, a sample application must be submitted in uncompiled form for testing.
