Handlers NOT working in Windows 8 #35

Closed abhimanyusirohi closed 10 years ago

Neither of the handlers are working in Windows 8. COM Surrogate Host and Preview Host both crash while generating thumbnail or previews. The problem seems to be with the IStream::Stat method that is not working.

Preview, Thumbnail and Property Handlers Fail on Windows 8

IThumbnailProvider equivalent for Windows 8

Deferred to next release. For Neptune we will support Vista and 7 only.

Moved back to Neptune. We can at least try fixing it for Neptune release.

:+1: The issue has been fixed in Windows 8.1 which is a FREE upgrade for Windows 8 users so we dont need to do anything about this issue. ThumbFish now supports Windows 8. Yay!!!

The only issue that I see is that out installer checks for .NET 2.0 ( See #36 ) which is INACTIVE on Windows 8 and needs to be enabled by going to "Control Panel >> Turn Feature On or Off" option and selecting the .NET 3.5 Framework option.
