Great piece of software you've written and it has served me well through both Vista and Win 7. However I recently installed Win8 RTM and the final piece of my puzzle was to install the connector software for my Windows Home Server 2011 - this is a bit of code that allows the client to communicate with the server.
After a reboot the Launchpad, which is the actual program that runs in the background for WHS, would error out at startup with "Windows Home Server Launchpad has stopped working". I initially thought it was related to the version of .Net that is native to Win 8, but after I started looking at logs I found this...
LaunchPad: !!!!FATAL: Launchpad shutting down due to unhandled exception: Operation caused an invalid state.
Followed by...
Message: Operation caused an invalid state.
Stack: at System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapDecoder.SetupDecoderFromUriOrStream(Uri uri, Stream stream, BitmapCacheOption cacheOption, Guid& clsId, Boolean& isOriginalWritable, Stream& uriStream, UnmanagedMemoryStream& unmanagedMemoryStream, SafeFileHandle& safeFilehandle)

at Microsoft.WindowsServerSolutions.Common.ImageConversionHelper.GetBitmapSource(Image bitmapImage)
Which caused me to look into what I had installed that affected images. FastPictureViewer Codec. I uninstalled FPVC and the launchpad immediately started working. Unfortunately I am now unable to view my RAW files. Any ideas?
