This topic covers everything you need to know about installing ImageGear for C and C++ on Windows:
To install ImageGear for C and C++:
To uninstall ImageGear for C and C++, do the following:
ImageGear provides two IG_version_...() functions:
IG_version_numbers gives you update information:
```C
INT nVersionMajor;
INT nVersionMinor;
INT nVersionUpdate;
IG_version_numbers ( &nVersionMajor, &nVersionMinor, &nVersionUpdate);
```
IG_version_compile_date allows you to obtain the compilation date of the ImageGear that you are using:
```C
LPSTR lpszCompileDate;
lpszCompileDate = IG_version_compile_date ( void );
```
Upon return from the above, lpszCompileDate will contain a pointer to a string of the form "Mmm dd yyyy," such as "May 09 2011."
If you accept the suggested default, the installation program creates the following directory structure:
