--- Comment #35 from Dan Kegel dank@kegel.com 2009-06-11 06:04:52 --- In comment #29, Sankt Anastasius wrote "Office 2003 distributes it's own -private- GDI+ 1.1 which is loaded with full path. That's why I told to modify the load order setting in earlier comments so the correct (private) native gets picked up."
I don't think he's saying Windows provides the newer GDI+; rather, he's saying that even on Windows, the app's private copy of GDI+ is used rather than the system one. And he says that's what Wine should do. Did I miss something?
