[VB6] Extract JPEG EXIF Data with WIA 2.0

The attached program is meant to show how to use WIA 2.0 to extract many extended attributes from JPEG photos. It is not a "finished" program but more of a code sample and a testbed for working out the necessary details.

WIA 2.0 ships in Windows Vista and later, and programs that use it will run as far back as Windows XP SP1 as long as you deploy the redistributable version of wiaaut.dll (no longer hosted at Microsoft's download site).

As attached here, the program extracts and decodes many of the more commonly used properties including the embedded thumbnail image.

Those that the program doesn't "know about" are dumped when of a simple type (String, a number type) and described when of a more complex type (Byte array, Integer array, etc.).

A few sample photos are included (thus the large size of the archive) that demonstrate some of the possible items they may contain.
