I have written some c++ code to capture a window to a .bmp file. BITMAPFILEHEADER get_bitmap_file_header(int width, int height) { BITMAPFILEHEADER hdr; memset(&hdr, 0, sizeof(BITMAPFILEHEADER)); hdr.bfType = ((WORD) ('M' << 8) | 'B'); // is always "BM" hdr.bfSize = 0;//sizeof(BITMAPFILEHEADER) + sizeof(BITMAPINFOHEADER) + (width * height * sizeof(int)); hdr.bfReserved1 = 0; hdr.bfReserved2 = 0; hdr.bfOffBits = (DWORD)(sizeof(BITMAPFILEHEADER) + sizeof(BITMAPINFOHEADER)); return hdr; } BITMAPINFO get_bitmap_info(int width, int height) { BITMAPINFO bmi; memset(&bmi.bmiHeader, 0, sizeof

I'm using VS2008 SP1 under Vista SP1. My .Net-program uses a COM reference to WIA (Microsoft Windows Image Acquisition Library v2.0). I'm using CommonDialogClass.ShowAcquireImage to scan a document and it's working fine. One of my customers is running XP. As I understand WIA, under XP you have to use WIALib (WIA 1.0). Is it possible to develop under Vista using WIA1? MS does allow you to download the WIA 2.0 library for XP here . That way your customer can use your app as is. Also, I like WIA 2.0 more than 1.0. I setup a small WIALib-project with VS2008 under Windows XP and copied the created

My application uses Microsoft RPC for interprocess communications. When two processes are run on the same machine and one process tries to call a method declared as (IDL notation): error_status_t rpcMethod( [in] pipe byte parameter ); this call fails with RPC_S_CANNOT_SUPPORT ("The requested operation is not supported") and never reaches the server side and the push()/pull() primitives of the supplied pipe are never called. This is only reproduced on Vista when using ncalrpc protocol and not otherwise. I also found the following in the Event Viewer logs: Application ("my program exe file name
