Just a quick update that InkSeine version 1.2.1720.0, which fixes our bug with Windows XP, is now available. This build works on XP, Vista, and Windows 7.

See the previous blog post for details on the new features of this build. The only change in this build is the fix for XP. If you grabbed 1.1.1714.0 and you're not on XP there is no reason to reinstall this one.

Also, the install has not yet been pushed out by the OfficeLabs auto updater, so the only way to get it right now is to install it manually. The OfficeLabs guys are helping us out and we will have it available via auto-update as soon as possible.

For the curious, our gaffe with the XP build was a side-effect of a work-around we developed for the Visual Studio 2008 problem with the Windows XP version of Microsoft.Ink.dll that I wrote about way back in January 2008. Our build was forcing use of the Vista / Win7 version of the dll, which has been fixed to avoid the Visual Studio 2008 issue. But if you installed the 1.1.1714.0 build of InkSeine on XP, it goes to look for the Vista verison and it's not there, so poof, it crashes with a failed load of the dll.

Anyway, sorry again for the gaffe... Sometimes I'm amazed that any software ever works...
