The app was building fine in my pc.But when i tested the app with windows certification kit,it was throwing an error for not using exiflib.dll in the release mode.I am using visual studio 2012 express edition for windows 8.How to solve this issue.Can anyone find a solution for this???Thanks in advance.

Errors i got while testing the app with windows certification kit is shown below.

  • Where did you get the exiflib.dll from? Building yourself from source? – Joachim Isaksson Feb 26 '13 at 13:28

    windows certification kit is only meant for Windows Store applications. So unless you recompiled the project in question to support WinRT you wouldn't be able to reference it within a project your trying to target to the Windows Store. The last version release 1.4 does not appear to support WinRT. – Security Hound Feb 26 '13 at 14:11
  • If last version release of exiflib.dll is not supporting WinRT ,can anyone suggest a way so that it supports WinRT??The error thrown was exiflib.dll used is in debug mode.I am supposed to use that in release mode.I have just downloaded and used exiflib.dll from a project in this site [*ExifLib - A Fast Exif Data Extractor for .NET 2.0+*](http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/36342/ExifLib-A-Fast-Exif-Data-Extractor-for-NET-2-0) which is in debug mode. – user2111356 Feb 27 '13 at 06:31

Looks like you need to download the project from github and compile again in release mode, and add the dll to your project

github url: https://github.com/ravensorb/portable-exif-lib
