WIA (Windows Image Acquisition) for Windows 98SE 1.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WIA (Windows Image Acquisition) is an API developed by Microsoft and first implemented in Windows Me. It allows seemless communication between image acquisition applications and digital imaging devices (such as digital still cameras, scanners and DV camcorders). Similar to TWAIN but without the hassle of particular drivers, best of all there's a TWAIN DSM which enables any WIA device to appear as a TWAIN device to TWAIN compatible software. WIA as it will ship in Windows ME already supports over 100 devices.

This product is port WIA from Windows Millenium for Windows 98SE.

WIA for Windows 98se is compatible to any packages of updatings (MDCU, UnSP, RP7).

Only request: this WIA not conflict with NUSB (digital cameras)?

i have here CanoScan 2700f SCSI scanner. this thing does not even have a driver, and it is only controlled via software which is TWAIN compatible... i have installed WIA, but i see no difference...

how can i benefit from it, or how can i detect if it do something?

Hi maximus-decim,
I posted this in MDGx's updates topic, but it should be here:

WIA 1.0 back-dated some files...
I understand that it overwrites various STI files with the Me versions...
However, it back-dated Twain files (I'm using the newer versions from XP SP2) and also MSVCP50.DLL.

TWUNK_32.EXE 1.7.1.0 > 1.7.0.0
TWAIN_32.DLL 1.7.1.1 > 1.7.1.0
MSVCP50.DLL 5.00.7051 > 5.00.7022

These files are not unique to Windows Me and should not be back-dated, especially MSVCP50.DLL since it could break some older software.
I have restored the files to the newer versions.

Aside from that, it's an awesome update pack!

W O W ! ! ! Whatever changed from version 1.0...Really helps WindowsExplorer5.50.4134.100 and Kex0.3.2a....even could be thy fastest start-up ever as re-installed Win98SE-RP7 just days ago......*Maybe ,Just Maybe i can use Kex0.3.3e???...We will see??...thanks for a major plus program!!! thydreamwalker

Will the Sticpl from Win2000 work with this?
Can newer drivers from Win2000 or WinXp be added to this?
just curious.

I propose that this post be stickied.

I am not too sure about of the actual usefullness of it.

I removed that WIA component from my Windows ME system quickly after I installed the OS because I found it buggy, intrusive, kicking in for no reason and affecting performance/stability when doing so.

It's actually not more needed than the autorun feature for CDs I believe.

Is IE 6.0sp1 required just during the install? Will it work after I have installed all the upgrades/patches and then used 98Lite to remove IE and WMP?
