PIV Sleuth and Windows XP
The version of PIV Sleuth available for
download is compatible with Windows XP; however, additional libraries must be
installed before PIV Sleuth can open image files in XP. This peculiarity is due
to the fact that Microsoft did not include a set of libraries in XP that had
been main-stays in previous versions of Windows. These libraries were used when
PIV Sleuth was developed because it was the most efficient implementation of the
image capabilities of PIV Sleuth in the Windows environment.
A new
version of PIV Sleuth that will install and run on Windows XP is not yet
available. However, the addition of library files listed below to the current
version of PIV Sleuth will solve any conflicts associated with Windows
XP.
