WINCODEC_ERR_COMPONENTNOTFOUND

WINCODEC_ERR_COMPONENTNOTFOUND means that WIC could not locate the requested codec, converter, metadata handler, or other registered component. The component may be absent, incorrectly registered, unavailable in the current process architecture, or not suitable for the requested GUID.

Diagnosis

Record the CLSID, container format GUID, pixel format GUID or metadata handler GUID used by the failing call.
Check deployment and registration on the affected machine, including 32-bit versus 64-bit process architecture.
For an extensible image format, confirm that the codec registration includes the identifying pattern WIC needs for discovery.

Do not assume a filename extension installs support for the corresponding image format.
