Hi Seon Joo,

I'm sorry, but OpenEXR 1.2.2 doesn't support MSVC 6.  We dropped
support for that compiler in this release because it was just too hard
to maintain.

If you can't use MSVC 7 (Visual Studio 2003), OpenEXR 1.2.1 will work
with MSVC 6, but only if you use the C interface with the IlmImfDll
dynamic library.  You can still get that binary release here:

or here, if you want to compile from source:
