Hi,

Could any help me find Windows Imaging Component is available or not in machine. I googled it and I found some answers it says that if Windowscodesc.ddl is available in system32 folder that WIC is installed on PC. I checked it in system32 folder and I found it is available on machine but when I check registry from path "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\WIC" is not showing any value. So I am quite confused whether is it installed or not on my machine.

Thanks in advance.

I would try to programmatically get an instance of the component.

Well, it depends on the programming language you are using. The documentation is your friend:
