Has anyone done this successfully? As I understand, GDI+ 1.1 only ships with Vista. I'm trying to get my hands on the different Effects classes.

I'm using C++ VS2008 (VC9)

A: 

GDI+ is part of the .Net run time. Version 1.1 would be VS 2003. Your VS 2008 should have an install option for .Net.

Well you learn something every day. I was told it was the name for the .Net new drawing library, not using an API of the same name. Sorry about that. Been doing .Net too long.

GDI+ 1.1 is not redistributable according to EULA of Windows Vista.

There is a version of GDI+ 1.1 in Office 2003 that does not work with the interfaces provided by Vista SDK. I am not sure if you can guess out the signatures of the flat APIs or not.

there was strategic decision made to not redistribute GDI+ 1.1
