Check if Windows image processing components are installed (wic registry)

Question

How to check whether the image processing component of Windows is installed or not on a 64-bit XP machine.

Answer 1

The Windows image processing component is installed with MSOFFICE. if you do not check in the registry →

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows Imaging Component 

Check InstalledVersion in this registry.

If this key is present, then the Windows image processing component is not yet installed.

Answer 2

Check for the existence of C:\Windows\System32\WindowsCodecs.dll

Answer 3

I found a registry located at:

 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\WIC 

Answer 4

Check: C: \ Windows \ System32 \ WindowsCodecs.dll

If the Windows Imaging Component (WIC) is not installed, then install the Windows Imaging component before installing SSR 2013 on a Windows 2003 or XP system.

Try creating an instance:

 CComPtr<IWICImagingFactory> pImagingFactory; HRESULT hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_WICImagingFactory, 0, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IID_IWICImagingFactory, (void**)&pImagingFactory); if (SUCCEEDED(hr) && pImagingFactory != NULL) { pImagingFactory.Release(); pImagingFactory = NULL; return false; }
