Has anyone done this successfully? As I understand, GDI+ 1.1 only ships with Vista. I'm trying to get my hands on the different Effects classes.

I'm using C++ VS2008 (VC9)

  • I'm guessing Microsoft would rather you just upgrade your version of Windows. – Mark Ransom Nov 12 '09 at 18:55
  • Please do edit my question when it comes to details, bad grammar or spelling errors. But please dont edit out my name or my greeting to anyone if I so choose to add to my question. It's just plain rude. – rtn Nov 12 '09 at 21:29
  • So what they are saying is that I should only use vista as a developer and that I should only develop for vista. Oh well darn :) – rtn Nov 12 '09 at 21:32

GDI+ 1.1 is not redistributable according to EULA of Windows Vista.

There is a version of GDI+ 1.1 in Office 2003 that does not work with the interfaces provided by Vista SDK. I am not sure if you can guess out the signatures of the flat APIs or not.

there was strategic decision made to not redistribute GDI+ 1.1
