After running the following code on a Windows Server 2008 vps:

#include <GDIPlus.au3>

Global $ret = _GDIPlus_Startup()
Global $err = @error
Global $ext = @extended

MsgBox(0, "", StringFormat("Return:\t%d\nError:\t%d\nExtented:\t%d", $ret, $err, $ext))

 
It always gives the following output, however it worked fine in Windows Server 2003, Windows XP and Windows 7 in all the tests:
 

Return: 0

Error: 1
Extended: 2

 
Any help?

Well, something is wrong with this part:

If $sGDIPDLL = Default Then
        If @OSBuild > 4999 And @OSBuild < 7600 Then
            ; Vista or Server R2008
            $sGDIPDLL = @WindowsDir & "\winsxs\x86_microsoft.windows.gdiplus_6595b64144ccf1df_1.1.6000.16386_none_8df21b8362744ace\gdiplus.dll"
        Else
            $sGDIPDLL = "gdiplus.dll"
        EndIf
    EndIf

Do you have tested it on Windows Server 2008 and/or Windows Server 2008 R2? What is the return value for @OSBuild?

I don't have Win2k8 available right now to make some tests.

@D4RKON3: Can you search for @WindowsDir & "winsxsx86_microsoft.windows.gdiplus_* folder(s) please? Just list them here.

 

@mLipok: Can you test the code from post#1 please and post the results here?

I make a litle change:

#include <GDIPlus.au3>

Global $ret = _GDIPlus_Startup()
Global $err = @error
Global $ext = @extended

ConsoleWrite(StringFormat("Return:\t%d\nError:\t%d\nExtented:\t%d", $ret, $err, $ext) & @CRLF)

Results:

How is it possible that such code find a place in the standard UDF  >_<

Instead of complaining about it offer a better suggestion, including the workaround UEZ mentioned.

Considering that the winsxs folder is a backup up folder, amongst other temporary uses, I do not consider it as a good idea to base production code on it especially when Microsoft has released an optional update which allows the option for the "Disk Cleanup Wizard" to remove files from it. A link discusses it here. About "Disk Cleanup Wizard" topic here. The update info is here.

The consequences are that GDI+ v1.1 functions (e.g. _GDIPlus_Effect*) are not available for Vista / Server 2008.

Nor you should, be reasonable. JFX is completely right, that code should not be part of anything standard. No FileFind or any alternative method sould be supported either.

Function accepts dll path as optional first parameter, that's all. By default it loads gdiplus.dll.

Don't make up things.

The path to the GDI+ v1.1 DLL varies. That means we should remove the section to load GDI+ v1.1 DLL for Vista/Server 2008. The user has the possibility to provide the correct path manually if GDI+ v1.1 is needed.
