Notes
1. Any previous version of the codec should be uninstalled before installing the new codec
2. The width and height displayed will be that of the embedded preview image
3. This build supports Thumbnails, Preview, and metadata viewing. We will add processing of RAW data in an update.
4. Confirmed support for Camera Models: E5400, D40, D40X, D60, D70, D70s, D80, D90, D100, D200, D300, D700, D1X, D2X, D3
5. Known issue: D1 support will be provided in a future update
6. If you have the Ardfry CR2 codec installed, then you will need the May 2008 build or later to avoid conflicts
7. The 32 bit MSI and 64 bit MSI files that are included in the installer are available for administrators who need more installations options than are available in the default installer. On 64 bit platforms you should install both 32 bit and 64 bit codecs if you need to support 32 bit applications that use WIC. The Setup application above does installs both.
