Developed as a XP alternative to the Wang/Kodak controls for Windows XP. The Microsoft download page for this dll states the "Supported Operating Systems" is Windows XP, and that "Windows Image Acquisition Automation Library v2.0 is only supported on Windows XP with Service Pack 1 installed." The dll relies on GDI+ available under Windows XP. I have also received reports the dll can also be used on Windows 2000 systems, though possibly only those with the latest service packs. Please see the Comments below. |

Developers wanting to add image and image device control functionality to their applications will and to check out this new, redistributable dll provided by Microsoft intended to replace functionality introduced with the Wang and Kodak image controls provided in older versions of Windows. Prior to the introduction of Windows XP, the Wang/Kodak control and libraries formed part of the operating system installation (were not redistributable) and provided the only inherent means to offer imaging display and manipulation without relying on third-party controls. However, Kodak Imaging for Windows program and the related controls (ImgScan.ocx, ImgAdmin.ocx, ImgEdit.ocx, and ImgThumb.ocx) are not included with Windows XP. The readme file indicates the Windows Image Acquisition Library v2.0 is only designed to support the PNG, BMP, JPG, GIF and TIFF image formats. It should not be relied upon to support other formats, though they may appear to be supported depending on system configuration.  The download contains the dll, help files, installation instructions and a rash of assorted VB-based demos (and no, it does not contain the image shown ... that's my desktop background): Zkteco Password Reset Tool 95%In the world of security and workforce management, ZKTeco has established itself as a leading provider of biometric and RFID-based access control systems, time attendance devices, and door lock solutions. These devices are the backbone of daily operations for thousands of businesses worldwide. However, one of the most common yet frustrating challenges faced by IT administrators and security managers is losing or forgetting the administrator password for a ZKTeco device. By combining the reset tool with sound access control policies—such as regular password rotations, multi-admin setups, and firmware updates—organizations can maintain both security and operational continuity. For forgotten passwords, remember: the tool is a lifeline, not a shortcut around proper security practices. Disclaimer: This article is for informational purposes only. Always consult ZKTeco’s official documentation and comply with applicable laws regarding access control devices and data protection. zkteco password reset tool Simplifying Access Control Management: A Guide to the ZKTeco Password Reset Tool In the world of security and workforce management, Instructions for proper installation of the dll and the help files are included in the readme.txt located in the main installation directory. The readme.txt in the samples folder contains the information above. Developers using wiaaut.dll are granted license to freely redistribute the library with their application as detailed in the redist.txt file inside the zip. (Only this dll is listed in this file, so don't overwrite your VB directory's redist.txt with this file!) This file is provided by VBnet as a service to developers. Any support issues for this product should not be sent to VBnet. Download Microsoft Windows Image Acquisition Library v2.0 (520k) |

| If the file 'gdiplus.dll' is installed on a Windows 2000 machine but not properly registered, calls to wiaaut.dll (the imaging dll) will not work. After registering gdiplus.dll calls to wiaaut should succeed. |
