Operating System Detection

In order for the LittleSoftwareStatsDLL to properly detect operating systems, please ensure that your program has a manifest and contains the following compatibility entries. Without these, the detected operating system may be incorrect. See this MSDN article for more information.

Other

This library should not require administrator privileges in order to work properly. However, the included DLL library (available for download from getlittleapps.com) has already been code signed just in case.
If you need to make changes to the interaction with the API (such as how the response is handled), then you need to modify the code for the DLL.
Due to the limitations of C++, you (usually) cannot use the stack trace when tracking exceptions with Little Software Stats.
