Q: 

Crashing with gdiplus(new Bitmap)

My application is crashing on Bitmap* image = new Bitmap(hicon) in a old Win XP installation. The stack trace is showing it is in gdiplus.dll, the version of the dll in this system is 5.1.3097.0. I tried with a newer version of dll (5.1.6001.0) and it was working fine. Is this a bug with GDI Plus? or am I doing something wrong.

What is the best way to solve this? I tried with copying the dll to application folder then also it was crashing(I think the old version of dll is already loaded). Is theer any way to statically link gdiplus.dll?
