Katherine, Ben, I've never run an upgrade, I always fresh install. That's why an Xmas "upgrade" takes so many days of sweat and swearing.
I'm pretty confident that all of the apps, kits and tools that I use will run fine under Win8 (they seem okay in VMPlayer), except for the damned nuisance of vdproj files not being supported under VS2012. I was going okay with using WiX as a replacement, but I got stuck on two things: (1) IIS setup (2) Custom dialogs. It will take many more hours of study and experiments to overcome these issues. Ian, I found lots of libraries for reading EXIF data but none for updating. I can't remember being involved in a thread on this topic before. The code I found that may do what I want using encoders is just too much bother for my modest needs. I guess it's just another case of something that seems superficially simple, really isn't. Greg
