i have an application that has a dependancy on gdiplus. i need the application to also run on Windows 2000.
i want to include GDIPlus in the application directory, so that Windows 2000 computers will function, but if the machine is Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, etc, i want it to use the version of GDIPlus that ships, and is updated, with Windows.
Not possible?
