Windows Versions

Given the broad range of Windows versions we support, we sometimes need to deal with some compatibility issues.

COMCTL32.DLL Versions

Most notably, COMCTL32.DLL version determines whether visual styles (UXTHEME.DLL) are supported. Ut us supported only in version >= 6.0, which is loaded only:

• when available on the system, and
• if the given .exe has a manifest which is explicitly asking for it.

COMCTL32.DLL	Windows

5.82	>= XP (without manifest)
6.0	XP
6.10	Vista, 7
???	8, 8.1
