Cathy, all, 

A little more information on GDIPLUS, from
http://svn.haxx.se/tsvnusers/archive-2008-08/0334.shtml copied below

Note the part about MS not recommending bundling GDIPLUS with applications.
Did we know that?

Why so complicated? Do as it says and download gdiplus from the ms website:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=6A63AB9C-DF12-4D41-
933C-BE590FEAA05A&displaylang=en

No advice where to download? It clearly tells you to download it from
Microsoft. So, what would you do?
* go to http://microsoft.com
* enter "gdiplus" in the search box
* the *first* result is the download page for gdiplus
yes, very difficult.

And no, MS does *not* recommend that applications should bundle gdiplus.
In fact, they tell you to *not* do that (after the problems they had
because of the buffer overrun problem in gdiplus, they decided that this
was not a good idea).
