Im in a bit of a delima ... It turns out WIA does not work with C# 2008. This is extremely bad news ....

Every example on the net must be for C# 2005 and lower, reason is due to the instructions etc ...

1. Install Platform SDK (done)
2. Install WIA SDK (done)
3. Register wiaaut.dll (done)
4. Reference said dll in c# project (done)
5. Try code on the following pages:

As soon as the following code executes:

Device d = this.scanDlg.ShowSelectDevice(WiaDeviceType.ScannerDeviceType, true, false);

You get one of those wonderful, unhelpful, POS error messages:

Exception from HRESULT: 0x80210015

Why did Microsoft drop support of WIA for VS2008? What is its replacement?
