Developed as a XP alternative to the Wang/Kodak controls for Windows XP. The Microsoft download page for this dll states the "Supported Operating Systems" is Windows XP, and that "Windows Image Acquisition Automation Library v2.0 is only supported on Windows XP with Service Pack 1 installed." The dll relies on GDI+ available under Windows XP. I have also received reports the dll can also be used on Windows 2000 systems, though possibly only those with the latest service packs. Please see the Comments below. |

Developers wanting to add image and image device control functionality to their applications will and to check out this new, redistributable dll provided by Microsoft intended to replace functionality introduced with the Wang and Kodak image controls provided in older versions of Windows. Prior to the introduction of Windows XP, the Wang/Kodak control and libraries formed part of the operating system installation (were not redistributable) and provided the only inherent means to offer imaging display and manipulation without relying on third-party controls. However, Kodak Imaging for Windows program and the related controls (ImgScan.ocx, ImgAdmin.ocx, ImgEdit.ocx, and ImgThumb.ocx) are not included with Windows XP. The readme file indicates the Windows Image Acquisition Library v2.0 is only designed to support the PNG, BMP, JPG, GIF and TIFF image formats. It should not be relied upon to support other formats, though they may appear to be supported depending on system configuration. The download contains the dll, help files, installation instructions and a rash of assorted VB-based demos (and no, it does not contain the image shown ... that's my desktop background): Keepstreams 1.2.3.0 Incl Patch - Khanpc [cracked] May 2026It sounds like you're referring to a cracked/patch release of KeepStreams (a video downloader for streaming sites like Netflix, Amazon, Disney+, etc.) from a site like KhanPC. A few important points to keep in mind about such posts:
Bottom line: I wouldn't recommend downloading or using a patched version of KeepStreams from a site like KhanPC. The risks (malware, account bans, legal exposure) far outweigh the benefit of avoiding a subscription fee. If you're looking for a safe, paid alternative, let me know what streaming services you use, and I can suggest legitimate tools.

Max Downloader Improvements: The analysis prompt window now allows users to select specific audio and video codecs during the download process.

The version 1.2.3.0 is an older release from the software's development cycle. While a "detailed write-up" for this specific legacy version from a source like "KhanPC" often refers to cracked or "patched" software distributions, the official features and general installation process for KeepStreams are as follows: Key Features of KeepStreams High-Quality Downloads: Supports downloading videos in up to 1080p resolution with high-quality audio tracks (EAC3 5.1 or AAC 2.0).

⚠️ Important DisclaimerThis is a pirated/cracked version of proprietary software. Downloading and using software labeled "incl Patch" from sites like KhanPC carries significant security risks and legal implications. This review is for informational purposes only; I do not endorse or encourage the use of cracked software. PatchA patch for software is a set of changes to a program or its supporting data designed to update, fix, or improve it. For KeepStreams 1.2.3.0, a patch might be used to fix bugs, add support for new streaming platforms, improve performance, or enhance security. 5. False FunctionalityMany so-called patches don’t work at all — they display a fake “success” message but leave the software locked, while silently running background scripts. Instructions for proper installation of the dll and the help files are included in the readme.txt located in the main installation directory. The readme.txt in the samples folder contains the information above. Developers using wiaaut.dll are granted license to freely redistribute the library with their application as detailed in the redist.txt file inside the zip. (Only this dll is listed in this file, so don't overwrite your VB directory's redist.txt with this file!) This file is provided by VBnet as a service to developers. Any support issues for this product should not be sent to VBnet. Download Microsoft Windows Image Acquisition Library v2.0 (520k) |

| Comments |
| If the file 'gdiplus.dll' is installed on a Windows 2000 machine but not properly registered, calls to wiaaut.dll (the imaging dll) will not work. After registering gdiplus.dll calls to wiaaut should succeed. |
